Pedigreed Seed Corn

Most of the corn club boys who
tried to pick out ten ears for
for the show know what HARD
job it was to do it.
The corn exhibited at the
show clearly indicated the need
for better and more uniform
seed, and the boys realize that
corn most of them have to plant
is Just corn, crib corn.
Now that we all have pedi-
greed pigs with the papers,,
we are going to get some pedi-
greed seed corn, corn with an
cestors. | know that my boys
who worked so hard last year tc
pick out ten good ears will be
glad to know that | have arrang.
ed it so that they can get the
best of some corn, nearly every
ear of which will be a good one.
And the best part about it, boys,
is that it is not going to cost you
any money.
By the kindness of Mr.. Sher-
man Adams, any corn club boy
who brings Is ears of sound
shucked corn of any variety and
a note from me down to their
office, will receive a equal weight
of this good seed corn in return.
This corn will cost Mr.. Adams
a lot of money. but he wants the
boys to have the very best seed
corn they can get. The only re-
quirement he makes is that each
boy save not less than five BUSH
els of this corn to sell to his dad
or to other boys who were not
lucky enough to get this corn
this year.
There will only be a limited
amount of this corn. so if you
want some of it you must write
me a post card at once saying
that you intend to join the club
and want me to save you Is ears.
1t will be ready for delivery
next Monday.
Let me tell you something
about this corn. For eleven
years it has been bred ear to the
row. That means that the man
selected his seed ears in the field
and that the ears had numbers
put on them, half Of the corn
on on ear was shelled off and
planted on a row to itself, and

URGES FOOD CONSERVATION
JUDGE WILSON MAKES 2 TALKS
HERE, EMPHASIZ1NG
THIS

Judge Frank T. Wilson Of Stillwa-
ter, field representative of the food ad-
ministrator for the northwest, gave
two talks in this city yesterday on
"Food Conservation, one before thu
pupils of the public schools and the
teachers, and the other before a gath
ering of business men at the city hall
last night.
Judge Wilson, in his talk before the
business men, emphasized that the
present program Of food conservation
lis absolutely necessary to win the war.
He discussed the German ideal Of life
and compared it with the American
ideal, pointing out that the former was
one Of a government which is practi-
cally in the hands Of one man and that
the Germans are taught that war is
something necessary, while the latter
is a government of the people.
Judge Wilson said it is a question
of food in this war. He said that the
dealers should teach their customers
about the use of substitute foods, say
ing that we must substitute the coarser
foods. It should be impressed on the
people that they should eat less. This
is asking great deal but it is neces.
sary to win the war, he said.
Judge Wilson urges the people not
to hoard foods of any kind and mer-
chants should not solicit orders. The
people should buy at home and they
should buy for cash and carry their
purchases home. One delivery day
| by the grocers was urged by the speak
er and he suggested the forming of
cooperative delivery system as better
was that the people practice buying
their food in bulk, using the 10-pound
package as the unit.
| In his talk to the school children he
used chart to give them clear un-
derstanding. He told of the import
ance of this war in determining how we
are to live in the future, whether tho
one-man power ideal was to ptedomin-
ate or if the American ideal Of rule BY
the people was to be universally adopt
ed.
Judge Wilson told the children Of
the need for food conservation in or
der that we be able to divide up with
the Belgians, and others in the war
ridden Europe.
Here are listed the substlc1te, which
the food administra zion urges the peo-
pie to use:
Corn, potatoes, rice, oats, rye and
barley, in place Of wheat.
Vegetable fats, oils and drippings in
place Of lard and butter.
Molasses, fruits, syrups and honoy in
place Of sugar.
Chicken, eggs, fish, cheese, milk,
nuts, peas and beans in place Of meat.
! The wheat, lard, butter, sugar and
meat should be conserved for the SOL
diers ...
