seed CORN SUPPLIES

You have demonstrated your ability
and patriotism by helping to raise the
largest corn crop ever produced, and
have accomplished it under rather un-
favorable seasonal a1,c labor condi-
tions. This accomplishment entities you
to special honor.
Now Il greater opportunity and task
confronts you and the earlier its mag
nitu5e is realized the better will the
county be fortified.
Last spring you had good supply
of good seed. over a very considerable
area from 10 to SO per cent was frosted
so early as to make seed saving i'm
possible. and there is practically no
hold-over supply the frost stricken
areas must import seed. This years
success depends upon the promptness
with wrich these importations are
made
Whether yOr can secure another VIC
tory this year depends largely upon
your ection now. Fash and every far.
mer for his own sake, and for his copn-
trys sake, should have 81 fficient seed
