Save Seed Corn.

Go out right now and save
seed for the next two years. AL
ways have a two year supply on
hand. 1t is necessary this far
north.
1t is all right to show the nice
large ears to your neighbors, but
use your best judgment and save
only medium sized mature hard
ears for seed.
A medium sized mature ear
has more food value than a
large spongy big cobbed, half
ripe and immature ear. Do the
thing that fits in with the soil
and climate wherever you are
and you will succeed. We can
grow good corn in most parts of
Pine County if we save and i'm.
prove the right kind of home
grown seed. Pine County is di.
vided into about three regions
for corn growing and a man
should select and use seed
adapted to his own community

Pine County's crop appears to
be very much less per acre than
last year though the total acre.
