in the neighborhood i'm 1916 or
i9t1, and Il great many farmers
can do this successfully if they
will exercise sufficient care i'm
testing the seed. On a good many
farms, better seed for home use
can be selected from crib test
ing as low as 20 per cent Than can
be imported from any other sec

1T should not be used until YOU
have made your own Test and sal

your own crib or in your vicinity.
