FARMERS SHOULD Be TRIED CORN
Won't Do to Take Just Any Variety
That is Offered for Sale Says Divis-

The County Agent.
(By Division Of Extension

In some parts of the State there is
fear that there will not be enough
seed corn to go around in the spring.
The excessive rains drowned the first
planting of corn and later any of the
crop remaining was packed by the
summer draughts. The late planting
did well until fall when the heavy rains
came while it was still in the field,
Certainly not all the corn in the many
cribs will grow and much of that
which does will produce a weak stalk.
Our experience of the spring of 1917
should how us the way out of this
difficulty for the situation then look
ed much darker than now. The corn
Went into the crib wet and before it
dried it froze and remained in this
condition until sprlfg o
The terminating power was destroy
ed and much Of the corn rotted before
the farmers were even aware of the
danger. Even under these conditions
there was plenty of seed that would
grow, which was mixed in with that
which would not. 1t was simply a
matter of searching out the good
seed. 1t is a safe bet that there is
plenty of seed now, if we begin dill
gent search for it. The search should
have begun last fall, but it is better
late than never. Normally it is doubt
full if it is worth while to test seed
corn for& termination, but in off
years, such as this, il is the only safe
plan. 1t is very simple and mex
pensive thing to do The only way of
finding out whether seed ear win
grow is to try few grains from diff
ferent parts of it.
There are several methods, all of
which are good. If you are in doubt,
ask your county agricultural agent or
write the Division of Extension for
instructions. Good seed is necessary
for a good crop. Home grown seed
of high yielding variety is best.
Do not buy untried varieties from dis
tant points, If your neighbor has bet
ter seed than yours and of a good
variety, use that. However, it is like
ly that his crop is in about the same
condition as yours, and your safest
plan is to stake chances on the best
seed corn in your crib, but be very
sure that you find the best,

Plans are being matured for an in

County Council of Agriculture, to be
launched on Monday, March %, and
to continue for two weeks, when on
that day mass meeting of the mem.
bership will be held at the court
house to elect permanent officers for

At the organization meeting held
here Saturday temporary officers were
elected, and forty charter members
were signed up. Officers and mem
bers say that they feel sure that
council of no less than three hundred
good active members will be secured
for this county
District Agent J. NJ Dean said he
felt sure that Maury county would
profit by the errors that had been
made in organizing other counties,
and that the council in the county
would "get away in splendid style"
Mr.. Dean said it should be thoroughly
understood that there is absolutely
nothing political or commercial con.
nected with the council. That the
position Of secretary is not "pay po-
sition,'' and that the council as body
will not buy or SELL
The council will be clearing house
for practical farm ideas, and ideas of
business men which will assist the
farmer to better conditions on his
his farm. The directorate of the coun-
Gil will serve as do the directors of
bank, serving the stockholders of the
institution.
1t is not expected that all farmers
of the county will become members of
the organization, but 1t is believed
that those who have kept themselves
informed as to the work of the Ma
tional Council, and those who are In
terested in promoting progressive
methods in farming, will be quick to
see the advantages offered by the coun.
Gil and will apply for membership in
the council without solicitation.
In the counties, in which councils
have been organized, splendid results
are being obtained, and farmers are
delighted with the progress made.
