SEED CORN AT 81 Is NOT TOO
T -.. HIGH ..

There is not one-tenth enough se-
1ect, new seed corn in the state to
plant the usual corn area. About
5000 bushels are needed to plant
Minnesota's corn fields, exclusive of
that intended for silage. Much old
corn is still on hand, but with that it
is doubtful whether there is enough to
meet the entire demand. ~. m rs.4
II addition, much Of this corn has
not been tested and at the last mo-
ment it will be found wanting in
many cases. The best thing for each
farmer to do is to get what seed corn
is needed and 'tdo it now.'' This
means that if you have seed corn, test
it 81 and know what it is worth. IF you
have to buy seed, buy it at once,
know that you are getting what you
want and don t let the price stand in
the way. This does not mean that
you should pay very high price, but
that you can afford to pay well for
good seed. ..s.ss., .t
Concerning the price, we may figure
. little in comparative terms. Seed

OAK CREEK ECHOES

The excavation of the west abuttment of the bridge has been progressing under difficulties as the water from the creek has proved a menace. The shaft is down twelve feet and it appears that it will have to be sunk ten feet more.
 The holidays are passing as usual with cold weather and a little wind and storm. Neverthe- less the young folks are very en- thusiastic over the big dance to take place Monday night.
 The teams are steadily haul ing the bridge material from Clarkdale day after day. About three more trips will bring the cement over from Clarkdale. Three more trips will probably get the balance of the steel on the ground.

POULTRY SHOW
WILL Be HELD
LATE IN YEAR

Richmond will have poultry show
this year.
Ivan Beck, Wayne township agri-
culture supervisor. said today that he
was willing to get behind a movement
for a big show. He considers that the
best time for such an event is in the
spring.
E. E. Cartwright, 325 South First
street, who has always been a big
exhibitor at former poultry shows,
said today that the Wayne county
poultry association was also consider
ing big poultry show. The associa-
tion has at present under considera-
ton plan to hold a big poultry ex-
hibit during the Fall Festival week.
This plan is meeting opposition, how
ever, from people who believe that
the show should be held later in the
winter and when there is not so much
going on.
An extensive egg exhibit will be
made part Of this years show.
The poultry show is by no means
new institution here. A few years
back, Richmond was noted for it's
poultry shows. During late years,
however, nobody has taken hold of
the shows and boosted them.
