ARE YOU DOING YOUR PATRi
OTTO DUTY

Every person in Brookings county
hat has a chance to select seed corn,
has a duty to perform, and is now in
part, responsible for the corn crop Of
1919 and possibly 1920.
You know the story of last years
corn failure, and the scarcity of seed.
In many cases the results of years of
selection and breeding were lost, and
very poor quality seed was planted.
Are you going to be satisfied with
good enough" or are you going to
try to advance? Some one says to
year" Just stop to think how fool
ish that sounds. Are all animals good
breeding animals because they are
mature? When you choose an ear of
corn fro mthe crib, how do you know
whether there was one stalk or three
in the hill, or how many ears were
borne by the hill? How do you know
whether the ear grew two feet from
the ground, or four feet, and what
kind of a stalk it grew on? Did ait rip
en- by the first of September or by
the twenty-ffth? Just step right up
to the looking glass and look yourself
in the eye. and ask yourself in all
fairness if the crib is the proper place
to select seed corn from, even if ii
does ripen.
| know you are awfully busy, but
if you can increase your corn yield
five bushels to the acre next year by
spending a day this fall selecting seed
it will be your best paid day. There
are many splendid fields in the coun
lty, and they are now ready to select
from. If you haven't a good field, OF
a variety suitable for this locality
talk to your neighbor who has. He
will be glad, | am sure, to arrange tC
let you select seed. Be sure to ge'
