SEED CORN A WAR MEASURE
ssriousness of Situation Prompts Ma.
tionaI and State Councils Of De.
Tense TO Take Action.

AT recent meeting of the Iowa
State Defense Council it was decided
to take a full and complete census OF
the state and its resources.
The idea of a seed corn survey was
included in this census. The plan has
I been amended somewhat and instead
of general census of Iowa a special
committee has been appointed with
Is. A. Clock, Of Hampton, this state,
as chairman of this special committee.
This action of the Council Of Ma.
tional Defense OF Iowa was deemed
necessary because of the unprecedent-
cd low quality of seed corn through.
out the state, and because OF alarming
reports which were received almost
daily from county agents who had al
ready made partial surveys, and who
had thoroughly tested seed corn in
their respective counties.
The State Council OF Defense has
for a considerable length Of time rec.
oenized the serious condition Of the
Iowa farmer as regards the seed corn
situation, and 1t is their intention in
conjunction with this special commit
tee and tho extension department Of
Ames to remedy, II possible, this con-
dition Of affairs.
Governor Harding has issued proc
lamation dealing with the scarcity OF
good seed corn, and this document has
been sent broadcast over the state.
The general plan of taking this CEN
sus is as follows:
A census taker has been appointed
by Governor Harding in each school
district in Iowa. and this man has been

The census blank will be returned to

farm hureau. 1t will be the drtv of the
county agent or the president OF the

same to Chairman $. A.. Clock. State
House. Des Moines. .....
There is a growing danger that the
state will be flooded with inferior
grades Of seed corn shipped from with.

established fact that seed corn grown
in districts which have different eli.
matte and soil conditions will not do

soil and climate are identical.

far throughout the state demonstrate

vidual ear test Of all seed corn for the
