MORE SEED CORN
SHOULD Be SAVED
FOR COMING YEAR
Supply Should be Doubled and
Largest Quantity and Best
Quality are Now
Available.

Five reasons for selecting and
saving double the usual amount OF
seed corn in the localities where the
corn crop is maturing in good con-
dition. are put forth by tile United
States department OF agriculture for
the consideration Of farmers IN q
statement issued today. The de-
partment believes that much more
than the usual acreage OF corn will
be planted next spring and that now
is the best, surest and easiest time
TO get the necessary seed. The i've
reasons for increasing the seed corn
supply are:
G)-First class seed corn is
scarce almost every spring.
(2)-Extended paintings and re-
paintings practically exhausted the
hold-over supply last June.
CO-In some sections this years
crop has been destroyed by drought
or early frosts. Farmers Of these
sections should now arrange TO Sc
cure seed from localities possessing
climatic conditions similar 10 their
own
DIN the localities favored
with "A crop this year, next years
crop may be destroyed, and there
should now be selected a supply Of
locally adapted seed for 1918 and a
hold-over supply for the 1919 plant
ing.
(61-Hail storms, floods, and
droughts yearly destroy millions of
acres of young corn making second
and third paintings necessary. Seed
corn dealers who provide ample
supplies Of seed of early maturing
varieties render valuable service by
prompt deliveries for these emer-
gency paintings.

The Farmer S Duty

our liberty has been attacked on

and our nation placed in jeopardy.
Our soldiers are called 10 arms and
are marching 10 the front; our good
women are devoting themselves to
Red Cross work, and civilians every
where are aiding the government in
its multiplicity of duties. War
means supreme sacrifice 10 every
able bodied citizen. including men,
woman and children. II means un-
selfish and unremitting service.
The tremendous preparation
which the government is making TO
bring this awful war TO a successful
close means the expenditure Of bill
lions of dollars. This money must
come from our citizens and from
every class. including the labOrer.
shopkeeper. manufacturer, banker,
financier and farmer. II borders
upon treason for anyone. who can
spare a dollar. 10 withhold it from
his country's call.
There are millions OF dollars de-
posted in the banks by the farmers
of this country which are earning
them little or nothing. The Liberty
loan bonds offered by our govern
ment bear four percent interest. If
patriotic reasons do not make a suf-
fcient appeal for the farmer TO in
vest in them, his selfish interests
should move him to render his coun-
try's financial assistance.
The Liberty loan bonds are abso-
lutely a safe investment. Every
dollar not required for our business
should be ready for prompt pur-
sacrifice. il is a profitable invest
ment for you. It is helping your
country ard protecting your home
and your business. This is one of
the few chances that have come TO
American citizens 10 have money

I am particularly anxious that the
American farmer should subscribe
generously TO this second Liberty
loan. He has responded nobly 10
the call for increased crops and a
hint 10 him that his money is needed
also. will lead, I am sure, 10 the
same unselfish devotion TO his ma
ton. The farmer must not neglect
this duty. Our country needs his
financial assistance. and for his own
welfare ne should be generous with
his wealth. There may be slackers
by failing 10 offer their money, but
vouchsafe the opinion that no n
nancial slackers will be found among
the farmers Of America.

KEEPING SEED CORN

A p
In the campaign Of conservation, one
often thinks only of this years need.
It is equally important, however, that
next years requirements be taken into
consideration, for the care of seed corn
from time Of harvest until time of plant
ing has a direct bearing on next years
crop.
After the seed corn has been selected,
the best method is to put it in dry
place on racks. IF rats have access to
the racks however, it is better to store
the ears in barrels, boxes or crates that
will exclude all such pests. The u. S.
Department of Agriculture has said
that seed corn must not be exposed to
dampness or it will absorb moisture and
be injured.
Seed corn, when placed where there
is a constant circulation of dry air,
usually becomes thoroughly dried at
the end of two or three months. A little
care exercised this fall in placing seed
corn where it will be safe will pay a big
dividend in next years crop.
