Seed Corn Prices.

The scarcity of seed corn means
that those who have to buy will pay
high prices, Some Of the daily pa
pers recently carried stories to the
effect tlfat an effort would be made
to have the Food Administration
control seed corn prices. We trust
none of our readers will delay in
the hope of buying it at lower prices
later on than those now prevailing.
We must have good seed corn next
year, and the matter OF price. while
important, is, after all, secondary
consideration.
The Food Administration can not
make any seed corn; nor can 1t ex-
ercise any satisfactory control over
the price at which it will sell. Talk
of that sort is foolish and likely to
deceive people. The man who ex-
poets to plant corn next spring and
who does not have what he knows to
be good seed and enough of it,
should not lose day in finding what
he needs. And when he finds it, he
should pay a fair price for 1t. take
it home, and take good care of it.
The man who has corn from
which good seed can be selected will
be serving his country as well as
himself by sorting it over carefully,
testing it, and getting it ready for
sale. The chances are that every
ear will be needed
The seed corn situation is critical.
