COUNTY AGENTS
HOLD MEETING
Three Days Conference at Des Moines
Last Week-Very Interesting
Meeting and Many Aattend.
RESULT OF SEED CORN WORK
Corn Shipped From Crawford County
Was All Seed, Says County
Agent John Quist.

Seventy-five of Iowa's one hundred
county agents met for three days
conference at Des Moines last week
to take up the problems OF the wal
! food program.
The food supply is much more acute
than what people think, says County
Agent Quist, and quoting Extensior
Director r, I, liss, who lust Eetur1ed
from Washington, said Papers over
the country are too optimistic over the
food situation. They quote Hoover
only in part, printing the restrictions
which may be lifted, but failing to
print the conditions which must be
brought about and maintained if these
restrictions are to, be taken off per.
|manently."
The required substitute ratio has
been changed, the farmers wherever
asked planted spring wheat, says Mr..
Quist, and the increased wheat crop
of this season has done wonders in
filling the empty flour barrels. The
reduction OF the -four substitutes is
in part the appreciation of the food
administration to- the farmers for
their unanimous cooperation on car.
rying out the war food problem. Like
wise the large winter wheat acreage
asked to be planted this fall is eX.
pected to help solve the food shortage
of next year. Most every county rep
resented reported that their quota will
be planted. Southwest Iowa must
have rain before its acreage of winter
wheat can be assured.
An interesting feature of the con-
ference was the results Of last
springs seed corn work. Corn ship
ped from Crawford county was all
seed, says County Agent Quist, and
every one who received corn from
this county is satisfied. The corn pur-
chased from Mrs. Wilbur Hawley, of
Vail, was planted in Buchanan coun-
ty. County Agent Lee, of that county,
reports that it is failing to mature as
it should, but late maturity was eX-
pected since the corn was moved SO
far north. While the corn over the
state is we'll matured for this time of
the year, there is much concern over
the seed problems for next season.
September 18th to 2Sth is to be set
aside as seed corn weeks by Governor
Harding. Every farmer will be ask
ed to pick enough seed corn to plant
his acreage for the next two seasons.

Getting Most for Your Money

Money
 Ii is well to make it very clear that getting most for your money does not mean that you secure the most merchandise for the sum you want to spend, but rather in securing the BEST merchandise for a stipulated amount. If you have set aside, say a price of $500 for a certain item and can afford to pay no more than that, then it is your duty to learn where you can secure the very best merchandise at that price. And this means that the article must be of good materials and if it is something that has been made up, the workman ship be such as to assure complete satisfaction and full service.
 So while the price of an article is very important you must also consider very carefully and very seriously what you get for that price. As we men, toned before, we court the fullest investigation of our prices and qualities.
