the following suggestion in regard to
seed corn. Here is what the Illinois
farmer calls, One Over on the Co.
piers We all know the gopher spoils
great deal Of seed corn in Minnesota,
and am sure many farmers would try
this: Put your shelled seed corn in a
box or bucket and pour on little com.
mon coal oil-just enough to moisten
the corn. It will not keep the corn
from growing one bit. It has been
tried around here and works fine. A
pint of oil will be enough for couple
of bushels. The corn should be stirred
and worked around so every grain will
be covered. Please print this for the
benefit of those who should know it,
