Manager Mounsey, of the TUNA
Lum Lumber company, states that
they have been able to secure enough
seed corn to supply orders for those
farmers who ordered same from the

supply had run out. The demand was
so much greater than expected that
Farmer Smith," agriculturalist of
the O-W., was forced to limit orders
to ten pounds of acclimated shelled
seed and the supply ran out much
quicker than expected, and the or
ders being filled according to the date
of their arrival. The O-W. people
state that more than twice the acre
age of corn planted last year is being
sown this year. Manager Mounsey
states that it was some time before
they learned that the supply Of seed
corn had run out, and that by a great
amount of effort his company was able
to buy enough seed corn of good ac-
climated variety to supply the re-
manning orders.
