IOWA SEED CORN
NEEDS ATTENTION
Special Seed Corn Week Will be Pro-
claimed for the state by the
.r Governor.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
les MONIES, Iowa, Feb. s.-The
seed corn situation is apparently 80
hopeless that Governor Clarke took Of
fetal cognizance Of the matter today
and decided to issue proclamation
for a special seed corn week."
The governor was preparing the
proclamation this afternoon. The
week will probably be February Is to
March 4. The attention of the entire
state will be turned to the matter Of
seed corn at that time.
Reports of seed testing have been
SO uniformly poor that bankers and
business men as we'll as the Ames eX-
tension department have become
alarmed and have decided that heroic
measures must be taken In plenty Of
time to insure the right kind Of seed
before the planting season arrives
again.
Tho cold, damp season and early
frost prevented maturing the corn
last fall and early tests of its germ
mating qualities have shown sur
prisingly low per cent Of fertility.
The week has been set aside so
that every farmers attention is urgent
ly directed at his own supply of seed.
1t is reported that many sections,
especially in the northern part of the
state, will have to import all their
seed.
