CORN TESTS MAKES
GREAT INCREASE
Prof. Holden Tells of Great Gain
Over Preceding Years by
Seed Selection.
HERE FOR DEALERS MEETING

When a field of corn raises eleven
bushels more per acre than it ever
did before, just because the seed
corn was scientifically tested and Sc
lected, the farmer looks up and
takes keen notice.
Prof. P. G. Holden, the Corn
King" of the United States. formerly
professor in the Iowa Agricultural
college at Ames, now head OF the
agricultural extension department Of
the International Harvester com
pany, made such a test for the plante
ing of field Of 5000 acres.
He told of this test and a lot OF other
interesting things about seed testing be-
fore a lot Of implement men and district
managers Of the International Harves-
ter company at the company's plant in
Omaha Monday. He is here to give a
series OF lectures yesterday and today
TO the International Harvester company
men, to any implement men that care
TO hear the lectures, and to any farmers
that are interested,
Cost Per Bushel.
The particular test on the S,O00-acre
field OF which Prof Holden spoke cost
less than 81 a bushel. That is the corn
and labor combined cost less than 81 a
bushel. The total cost of making the
test was $1,000.
That field yielded eleven bushels more
per acre than it had ever been known to
yield before, or total excess over for
mer yields Of 5000 bushels. That
more for the test than it would have
normally had no test been made.
Prof Holden gives these facts and let's
men draw their own conclusions.
About $50 men. statesmen, district man
ayers. implement men and others inter
ested in grain yield. attended the lecture
The professor declared that the early
freeze the last year had hurt the corn
for seed purposes and that if good crops
are to be had next year tests must be
carefully made before the corn is planted
this year. Test. don't guess" is his
slogan.
Lectures In the south.
Prof Holden has just completed a
campaign of lectures and work advocating
diversified farming covering seventy
counties in Tennessee. Arkansas and
Mississippi, where he has done much to
convince the cotton planters that they
must diversity their crops and depend
less upon cotton alone.
General agents and general managers
of the International Harvester company
are in at this time for these meetings as
follows: L. B. Rees. southwestern dis
trict manager; A. B. Coleman, northwest
ernN district manager; A. II. Rice, sales
