testm'Ail other seeds we sow. .We get
corn because we sow weak seed that
ain't got strong stamina to make it
hump for .a sixty bushel crop. Lots of
the kernels are weak or no good. My
paper says that the seed laboratory at
the state experiment station makes!
both purity and germination tests free
of charge for the farmers and it looks
iike every one ought to know where
he's at. It could easily mean dollars
loss or gain for every acre sowed in the
differ betwixt right seed and foul
spiudly stuff. never couid see after
a farmer has plowed and manured and
dragged his land and .goes to all the
trouble of stedin' it and workm' it why
h« shouldn't strike for the biggest pos
sible yield in return for all his toil and
risk. The good seed, prop is one of the
most important in the whole list. Yon
sure can't get the yield if you don't get
the stand and you sure can't get the
stand if you don't sow vigorous seed.
