was represented. Ifopinions expressed

CARDS seed corn, Delaware county far
}mers are in a sorry state OF affairs
with respect to procuring 1t. The bank
ers formed a seed corn association, and
a representative from Ames will make
thorough canvass Of the county as to
! the test and quality Of the seed that is
on hand and that which Is being offered
for sale. This organization is headed
headed by Superintendent f. P. Walk

cashier Of the Security State Bank Of
Manchester. Is secretary. II. C. Seeds,
ca shier Of the Delaware County State
Bank OF Manchester. Is treasurer.
These officers together with one repre-

OF the county constitutes an executive
committee. 1t was brought out at the
meeting that many Of the farmers are
hoping to obtain seed from cribbcd
corn OF the 1914 crop. Wherever tests
Of this corn had been made the test
was not satisfactory. In brief, Il was
the opinion OF the bankers that by far
the greater part of the seed for Dela-
ware county would havc to be pur-
chased from parties outside OF the
