Minnesota's farmers will be in their
cornfelds next month in drive for
100000 bushels of seed corn as q
means of helping Minnesota's and the
nations soldier boys on the battle
fields of France in their drive for Ber-
lin
The time for the seed corn drive
will be during the annual Seed Corn
Time, September 1920, before which
every corn-growing county in the
state will be systematically organized
as If for Liberty Loan drive. The
organizing force will be the county
farm bureaus. Each of these bureaus,
of which there is now one in every
county in the state, will see to it that
its county is apportioned by school
districts, or by some other system, so
that not corn-grower shall miss
call for his quota of seed corn-not
to be given to the bureau or any one
else but to be stored away carefully
for the corn-grower's use on his own
farm next year and the year after.
One Bushel for Every Three Acres.
Minnesota grows 100000 acres Of
corn. 1t takes 100000 bushels of seed
corn to seed 100000 acres. Conse-
quently 100000 bushels of seed corn
will seed 100000 acres for two years.
And that is just what the farm bu-
reaus have in mind. Through the ex-
treme shortage of seed corn last
spring every bit of surplus seed corn
such as is usually held over from
one year to another was used, and
wisdom dictates the accumulation of
surplus large enough to prevent the
possibility Of another such shortage
as existed last spring. Such sur
plus can be accumulated if every corn
grower will select during Seed Corn
Time one bushel for every three acres
he plants to corn.

through F. e. Balmer, state leader
Of county agents, has sent special ap-
peals to all farm bureaus to cooperate
in the drive. He has supplemented
this with letters to commercial clubs,
farmers clubs, county agents, high
school agriculturists, county school
superintendent, and many others,
asking for their win-the-war support
of the project. These appeals and
letters give the corn acreage for each
county which grows corn and the num-
Der of bushels which each county's

The Red Cross

Did you know the Red Cross Christ
it is the call of our brothers who are
far away over the sea? Do you know
that if you answer present" you will
be helping some boy over there, and
you will show that you are backing
our soldiers and willing to do your
share? Do you know that to millions
of children this is the sign of haven,
for they know it means food, clothing,
shelter and love to supply every need?
Do you know what the members of
this devoted band all over our below
ed land have been able to do through
the Red Cross in Offering a kind,
helping hand? Will you answer, "i
am here" to the roll call? Will you be
a member this year? If you will you'll
receive the "love BUTTON" token of
Christmas good cheer. The work of
the Red Cross is not confined to our
boys on the battlefield, Or in hospital,
nor amidst the ruins Of Belgium. One
of it's great activities is any neces-
sary aid to dependents of members
of Americas military forces. On the
battlefield the Red Cross presents an
heroic figure, but in America, remov-
ed from destruction and death, it
silently steps to the side of the father
and mother whose boy is over there
and who need counsel and aid. No
service is too small for the Red Cross.
It appeals especially to organized
workers because of this quality OF
service. The Red Cross represents
true democracy and religion that
will endures
George M. Powell. director of the
Red Cross Christmas roll cal, has is
sued statement to the people of
Florida transmitting the messages of
the president of the United States,
the chairman of the Red Cross war
council and the Southern division. His
message is as follows:
To the People of Florida: In trans
hitting to you the foregoing mes
sages, / do so with full confidence in
the successful outcome of the Christ
mas roll call. On Monday morning
the two thousand and odd Red Cross
workers who constitute Florida's Red
Cross army will plunge into the work
of enrolling Florida's citizenship as
participants in the glorious past and
golden future of the Red Cross. The
people of Florida have done their
duty in every department of patriotic
work. There is every reason to be-
! lieve that on this, perhaps the final
occasion, they will surpass even their
own previous record. Give every man,
woman and child an opportunity to
join. That they will avail themselves
of the privilege you need have no mis-
givings. George M. Powell,
State Director.
Ocala is availing herself of this
privilege. Mrs. D. S. Woodrow is the
efficient general chairman of the
