SEED CORN WORST ;
IN TWENTY YEARS
Scarcity of Seed Corn Threatens 1918
Cro—Do Not Import Seed Un
less Absolutely Necessayr.
In an interview with Mr. Ewin
Powell of the International Harves
ter Company, Monday, he called our
attention to the scarcity of seed com
and the recommendations of P. G.
Holden of the Agricultural Extension
Department of his company.
There is a nation-wide alarm about
seed corn. The condition is the most
critical experienced in twenty years.
The corn belt has suffered tremend
ous losses. The frost in September
killed the corn and prevented it from
ripening and drying out. When the
unusual freeze came in October, great
damage followed.
As a result, the first impulse will
be to import seed com. Com grown
from seed brought in from other lo
calities will be inferior in yield and
quality and in many cases total fail
ure will follow.
We must not import seed corn until
we have exhausted every resource to
obtain seed in our own neighborhood.
In this respect Jackson County is
very fortunate. Several thousand
bushels of early corn was thorough
ly matured before the frost and some
of our local corn growers have se
1 i.. .1 1 _ If i.1 J
lt'ttcu MIC UX MlVll MUU
offering this choice seed corn for sale
at a reasonable price. Farmers arei
advised to buy their seed com just as
near home as possible. Thousands
of tests made by experiment stations,
tests made in twenty-eight states by
the government and results borne out
in actual experience, show the dan
ger of importing corn.
In not a single case out of 6,000
tests for a period of eight years in
thirty-three different counties, did
the imported samples equal the home
grown seed. The home-grown corn,
in every test, outyielded the imported
corn on an average of twenty bush
els to the acre and was of better
quality.
If you have old com left over from
your 1916 crop, keep it for seed and
test every ear. Do not conclude too
soon that there is no seed corn in
your locality. Ask your county
agent, write to the agricultural col
lege.
Do not let the seed corn situation
discourage you. The government is
asking for meats and fats for our
soldiers, and we must have corn to
produce them. Regardless of condi
tions we must grow our usual acreage
of com; don’t cut it down; don’t
put off testing; don’t import unless
absolutely necessary. We will not
have fats and meats without corn.
Realizing the seriousness of the
situation, Mr. Powell says that the
Agricultural Extension Department
of the International Harvester Com
pany, of Chicago, will send free of
charge to any farmer, merchant or,
banker, paper patterns of seed corn
germination cloths and rag dolls, with ^
full directions for testing corn.

nor are we yet in favor of it, but we
think the sooner such characters are
dealt with in the above summary
fashion the sooner our homes and
lives are protected from the foreign
devils who are prowling this country
swaddled in the civilian clothes of
our fair America. We may be too
radical, but it is our firm belief that
characters prowling our country for
sinister purposes, when caught, should
be shot on the spot.
