a special bulIatiE on seed corn has
been issued by the department Of agri-
culture. as follows:
owing to the generally backward
state Of this years corn crop in many
of the northern but important growing
sections of the belt, there is danger Of
injury to the crop by killing frost the
occurrence of which NAV he expected
az any time lit is therefore important
that every effort possible be made 10
secure good seed for next years crop
Where any last years corn is left it
should be gone over and the best ears
saved. Moreover. as corn natures I'M
evenly, it is. possible to secure seed
from the early ears before the rest OF
the crop is matured.'
