Need Better Seed Corn

Nearly every harvest season some
of the farmers of this section meet
with disappointment in attempting
to grow guod field corn. In en-
deavoring to secure variety that
will produce big yields they often
get corn that does not mature In the
comparatively short season that we
nave here. The larger late var
ieties grown in the middle states
will seldom mature here. They
prodcue large stalks but the ears
are still soft when the early frosts
come.
N. Brooke has variety of fairly
early coin, the seed of which he
got from Ben CallIson two years
ago. Mr.. Brooke thinks this corn
is very we'll adapted to the climate
of the PotIatch. 1t has small stalks
and a medium sized ear and is
yellow dent. The smaller stalks do
not require as much moisture as the
larger varieties, SO that the ears are
we'll matured by the time the frosts
come. and lop down just as they do
in the corn country. Thus the fall
rains do not get through the husks
and cause the corn to mold.
i County Agent Fletcher of Latah
county said this week that the Unl-
verslty of Idaho will have a small
amount of seed corn to dispose of
this fall. 1t is white dent var
iety well adapted to the season
here.
There is no question that thou
sands of dollars have been lost in
this section because Ut the wrong

less corn thoroughly natures it is
practically impossible to keep any
length of time. There are varieties
that will nature every year and
produce very good yields. If the
growers could come to an under

\ little doubt that corn would be
