Select Seed Corn Now.
My dear Farmer

My dear Farmer
! want to urge you to begin now
selecting your seed-corn. Never be-
| fore was there such shortage all
over the state. Corn was caught
by the early frosts and failed to
mature, thus making it sappy and
unfit for seed. Shuck out your corn
and select what you think is good
seed ears and hang it up or spread
it out to dry. Later testit to see
if it will sprout. l will be glad to
furnish you information as to test
ing seed-corn or come to your place
and help you test it. Smelling by
hand takes more time but it pays.
Select twice what you will need for
your neighbor will want it at your
price. Any old corn on hand should
be saved for seed. 1t is a bad idea
to buy seed-corn from another sec
tion of state for it may not be
adapted to your soil, and no one
this year will guarantee the gcrmin-
alton.
Get busy on the seed selection
and testing and let us not be slack
ers when it comes to the corn crop
this year. 1t will take the three
"Bs" to win the war: Bread" "Ba-
con" and "Deans."
Very truly yours,
H. H. Harrison,
County Agri. Agent,
Stanton, KY.
