FARMERS SHOULD TEST THEIR
SEED CORN, SAYS EXPERT

A warning to all farmers Of Blue
Earth county to test thoroughly
their seed corn before planting, has
been issued by L. 2. McMillin, coun-
ty farm agent The warning is Civ
en- due to reports received from var
ious farm sections by Mr. McMfllin
that seed corn Is not producing good
results.
Reports are reaching me that
seed corn which was saved last fall -
morning" has been growing very
poorly In sections where the plant
Ing has already been done. There is
a possibility that a shortage OF seed
corn will be the result. Farmers of
Blue Earth county should test their
seed corn right away to assure a
good crop from their planting"
The reason for the seed corn not
growing we'll this year is at present
unexplainable, according to the
county agent. Last year the corn
crop was exceptionally good due to
the dry weather. The corn matureo
we'll. and ordinarily the seed corn
should have been good for planting.
The reports received, however, by
McMillin indicate that the seed corn
is poor in termination.
The pig crop for Blue Earth this
year will be q big decrease compar-
ed with that OF a year ago, In the
opinion Of Mr.. McMillin. due to the
late spring. Great losses have been
entailed by farmers throughout the
coenty raising pigs through the colo
weather this spring when the filters

died when but q few days old from

Not only has the late spring az.

mously elected secretary and treasurer.

great results in obtaining higher price
on the New York market for Maryland
eggs forwarded by members and guaran-
teed by the association.
After the meeting the wonderful birds in
the show were inspected. Wyandottes, the
great table fowl and winter egg breed, were
