TESTING OF SEED CORN
Careful Selection is Urged by State
Dairy and Food Commission.

The necessity of more careful Sc
lection of seed corn is being urged by
our Dairy and Food Commission. This
Department. which has in its charge
the enforcement ofHthe Agricultural
Seed Law, reports that while the seed
corn offered for sale this year is
above the average quality. there is
still room for considerable improve
ment.
Each year there are too many farm
crs who plant INFESTED corn with the
result that the yield per acre falls
below that of their more intelligent
neighbOrs. It is the opinion of the
authorities that if every ear of seed
corn planted in Iowa this spring were
tested, and the weak and bad ears
discarded so that nothing but strong
seed were planted, it would result in
an increase of ten bushels an acre
to the average Iowa crop.
Think OF it! 10000 bushels of corn
which at Csc a bushel means a net
gain of 100000 to our Iowa farmers,
If you are not in the habit Of test
ing your seed corn, why not start this
year? Should you not be in position
to test the seed yourself, send an aV
erage sample to w. B. Barney, Dairy
and Food Commissioner, and the eX
perts of that department will perform
the test for YOU and send you the re-
port This service is rendered free by
the department to all Iowa farmers
In sending in samples, be sure that
your name and address is plainly
marked on the package and that the
postage has been fully prepaid.
Remember that poor seed means
missing hills, oneystalk hills, and weak
stalks that produce nubbinS instead
of large solid ears. II peans wasted
land, wasted labor, and financial loss

Effective February
Reduction No. 3
On Goodyear Tires
Making Total Reductions As Per Cent in Two
Years To Give Always the Most for the Money

We are glad again-for the
third time in two years-to
announce big reduction on
Goodyear tires, effective Feb
ruary LIST.
Goodyear policy on price is
to give the utmost in a tire at
the lowest possible profit.
Our reductions are made to
that end, without ever reduc-
ing the quality.
That always means, with our
matchless output, more for the
money than any other maker
can give.

AS rubber came down our
prices came down. AS our
output multiplied, reducing
factory cost, our prices came
down with 1t. In two years
our MISUNDERSTANDING the
present-have totaled As per
cent.
Last year we increased our
output 26.6 per cent. A few
days ago the embargo on
rubber was modified so that
supplies seem assured. The
market price for rubber seems
for time established. Fabric
costs less than last year. So,
under our minimum profit pol
icy, we announce this new re-
duction.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1915-02-11
ONLY FAIR BASIS

We consider profit margin on
q tire the only fair price basis.
We keep that margin just as
low as our line allows.
While we do that, Goodyear
tires will always undersell any
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1915-02-11

tires that compare with them.
That is because we have the
largest output. We have
new factory, modernly equipp-
ed. And we have worldwide
facilities for buying rubber, of
our extra grade. at the lowest
market price.
For a long, long time most
tires have sold much above
Goodyear prices. Some have
sold one third higher. A few
have sold lower, as some al
ways will, because of less rub
Der, less quality. But we can
and do, under all conditions,
give more for the money than
any rival tire can offer.

THE BEST WE KNOW

Goodyear Fortified Tires Of
fer the best we know. They
are built to give you the lowest
cost per mile. They minimize
tire trouble in five costly ways
employed by no other maker.
And they are always the same,
regardless of price reductions.
Most tires will always sell
higher, because of smaller out
put. Some tires will always
sell lower because of lower
standards. But we promise
you that none will ever give
better than Goodyear value.
This policy has mad Good
years the ,largest-selling tires in
the world. II will make them
more so as more men find them
out.
