By A. A. Cobb, Assistant Direci


At the cotton conference in Mem
phis recently a number of statements
were made that brought out the puz-
cling fact that many farmers of the
south persist in buying seed corr.
from states north of US. Considera~
BILE publicity has been given to the
fact that buying foreign seed is a
practice that promises all manner of
disease troubles, now and in the fu-
ture, aside from the reduced yield
that may always be expected when
northern seed are planted.
/ have before me bulletin 224 pre-
pared from data worked out by the
Indiana Experiment Station at Pur-
due University, going into detailed
discussion of a corn-stalk disease
transmitted through seed. The bulle-
tin makes the following statement
Indiana corn yields are greatly
reduced by hitherto little understood
disease-producing Organism. T h e
planting Of seed infested with these
organisms is, in a great measure, re
sponsible for missing hills, slow-grow-
ing stalks, barren stalks, downstairs,
nubbins, early blighting of plants in
the field, with the large reduction in
yield which these conditions bring
about"

Why Buy Disease With Your Seed?

or Mississippi A. and M. College.
How widely this disease is distrib-
uted over the north l do not know,
but importing seed from other states,
especially the old corn states, is a
mighty sure way to import trouble
that may mean a loss of millions of
dollars in the future Our Mississip-
pi Experiment Stations have deter
mined the fact that these northern
grown varieties that are imported for
earliness produce about one-third
less than our good native varieties.
The earliness does not compensate
for the difference in yield, and it
will be far better to plant a pure
seed of our native varieties and buy
the corn that the early varieties
would be supposed to furnish. The
difference in yield in favor of our
native kinds will more than pay back
any money saved by the "earliness"
yield of northern grown sorts.
Your neighbor would have a seri-
Gus grievance if you should import
hog cholera in the community where
he is a hog grower SO it is with the
Importation of any other disease. Ev.
cry farmer owes it to his neighbors,
and to the future corn industry of the
state to see to it that he does not
jeOpardize this great and necessary
industry by some careless act.
