PETITION GOVERNOR
TO SET ASIDE DAY
FOR CHOOSING SEED

Indiana corn growers have arranged
to petition Governor Ralston to issue :
proclamation setting aside day. some
time in October. for all farmers In the
state to select their seed corn.
This petition will be submitted with
IN few days by Prof. Christie OF Pur-
due university. and Joseph Helms, q
Wayne county farmer, who In 1918
won the state and national trophies
for the best ear OF corn grown that
year.
IF all Indiana corn growers would
select their seed corn when the corn
was in its most virile condition, to be
used In planting the following year.
the corn crop Of this state would be
improved fifty per cent" Helms said
today. AT the present time It Is i'm
possible to decide just what date next
month should be designated by the
governor as seed corn gathering day.
A few days before the members of our
committee decide that the proper time
for such action has arrived. we will
notify the governor and he will then
issue q proclamation setting forth the
date for the gathering of the seed.
Indiana farmers as rule have
never been careful in the selection OF
seed corn. Many do not select their
corn until few days before they start
their spring planting, taking the seed
from the cribs. Seed corn should al.
ways be gathered while the ears arc
on the stocks and just at the time 1t
has reached full maturity.
THE Indiana corn crop is not made
yet. Late summer rains and extreme.
ly hot early fall weather has kept the
crop growing all the time and q severe
frost now would do great damage. II
the present mild weather continues for
three weeks longer the finest corn
crop yielded in Indiana in many years
will have been gathered in

Finley Gray has requested the post.
master general to delay action in the
Wayne county matter until the con.
ference between Postmaster Beck and
the postoffice Officials can be arrang.
ed.
Postmaster Beck's plan is to include
more towns In the county as central
stations instead OF making Cambridge
City. Hagerstown and Richmond the
three terminal points for the entire
county. This plan has the approval
OF many OF the farmers. His plan
would give Fountain City. Greensboro,

ment made some years ago. George
