1t should be kept in mind that all
through the corn belt and much of the
western corn country, the corn of last
year did not thoroughly mature, and
the terminating strength is very much
below the average. For this reason as
we'll as for the fact that an increased
acreage will likely be planted this year
there will most probably be shortage
OF the supply of seed corn throughout
the United States.
You will never have as much leas-
ure time as during the next three or
four weeks to get your supply of seed
corn and put it in shape for planting.
You cannot afford to plant poor seed,
as it will greatly reduce the amount
and value of your crop. If ever there

for the farmers to use care in the Sc
lection of seeds it is now.
