FARM BUREAU BRIEFS


ed that this cffice find out if boar
sale for the county to be- held at Lin
ton this fall would not meet with ap-
proval by many farmers. Being a
countrywide proposition with some
1400 farmers it will be necessary to
limit the entries to two animals for
Zach farmer who wishes to make use
Of this sale. Of course, it isn't at all
probable that all farmers would make
entries but suppose so or rs or 100
dot would make quite a sale.
It seems to us that this is a prac-
tical suggestion. 1t will scatter a lot
Of good breeding in the county that
would otherwise go on the market.
Therefore, you men, who have reg
istered boar or two for sale, please
let US know by mail, phone, or call at
this office. If this sale meets with
your approval and I'VE get enough en-
tries we will take steps to have the
sale arranged for either through the
Breeders Association or the Farm Bu-
reau. When we see there are entries
enough big posters will announce the
date, terms, etc. But please don't
take for granted now that this sale
will be held and sit down and wait for
it. You must let US know what you
have to sell before we can make ar
rangements for the sale. List. your
registered boars at this Office.
Pick Seed Corn for Sale.
Owing to the drought lot Of the
corn in this county will not develope
sufficient for seed purposes. There
fore, those who are fortunate to have
corn that will mature should pick
seed not only for their own use but
for sale to those who have to buy.
There will be lot Of them next
spring. During the fall Of 1918 and
spring Of 1919 this Office was instru-
mental in moving 600 bushels from
the southern part of the county to
the northern and 400 bushels were
shipped to counties across the river.
We know there are still those who
make light of careful seed selection
and some have "gotten by very well
but they are taking big chances. We
note that the man who selects his
seed in time carefully, and stores it
in dry place, where it has time to
cure before freezing weather invar-
iably has the best corn crop and not
only that but he has established a
reputation for good seed that is
sought for miles around.
