SAVE SOME OLD CORN

The spring of 1924 was unusually
backward in many sections. Follow
ing this, the growing conditions
were not good, with the result that
the bulk of the corn is extremely
late throughout the Corn Belt and
northward. 1t is so late that most
of the crop will be unfit for seed
unless frost holds off longer than
usual.
The United States Department of
Agriculture is calling attention to
this fact at the present time in order
to prevent, if possible, serious
seed-corn situation in the spring of
1925. The higher prices for corn in
the last few seks are drawing much
of the old crop from the farms.
