There liz no precedent in American

action which will show that America Is
seeking to connect herself with the con-
troversies on the other side Of The water.

good one and he company forthwith

SEED CORN is SHORT
GOVERNOR FIXES MARCH 27 TO
APRIL AS TEST WEEK.
Urges Farmers to Conduct Thorough
Trial to Obtain Supply for
Spring Planting.

Madison.-Owing to shortage of
sed corn in Wisconsin this year.
caused by unfavorable growing con-
ditions last season, Gov, Philip has
issued d proclamation designating the
week from March q to April /, as
seed corn week, and urging that dur
ing such period every corn grower
corn and keep for planting only those
ears showing high termination.
The failure of one ear of seed corn.
containing 500 kernels. means loss
of 500 ears in crop or eight bushels,
worth about 81.
Gov. Philips proclamation fol-
lows
Whereas, the department of agri-
culture has called my attention to
serious shortage of good seed corn
in Wisconsin, due to unfavorable rip
ening season last fall, / therefore
deem it necessary to acquaint the
public with the following facts;
Many terminating tests have
shown that little of seed corn has suf-
ficint vitality to make it safe for
planting without securing germinat-
ing test for each ear However,
much of seed saved, though low in
terminating, contains many ears of
high vitality. These can be found
and saved by a simple test of each
ear.
Many of Wisconsin's improved,
home grown and acclimated strains
of corn that otherwise might be de-
stroyed and lost TO sale, can in this
way be saved and profitably used.
Greatly decreased stands and yields,
with much waste of time, money and
effort will surely follow if seed on
hand is planted without proper test
ing.
The situation is so serious and
the need for immediate action so i'm
perative that | deem it advisable to
publicly call attention to these con
ditions. To this end | hereby pro
claim the week from March II 10
April | as seed corn week
Il urge that during this period ev-
cry farmer thoroughly test each ear
of his seed corn and eliminate all
ears not showing high termination"
