Show IMPROVED SEEDS ARE BEST One Quart of New Variety of Corn Would Grow Enough to Plant Big Acreage at Small Cost. (By M. W. KELLEY.) I believe that every farmer would find It profitable to devote a certain portion of his farm to growing seed for the coming year. In this way he could buy seed each year and plant it on his test grounds and grow all that would be required for his next year's crops. One quart of some new variety of field corn would grow enough seed to plant quite an acreage and tho cost would be comparatively small. A peck Six U - '';v::::::'::::v.::yV;; Carefully Selected and Prepared. of some new kind of potatoes would furnish seed for quite a patch next year. One bushel of seed oats would furnish enough seed for a number of acres the next year. This would give the seed an opportunity oppor-tunity to become better Acclimated and he could select the best seeds for home use, which is an opportunity that seldom comes to a farmer who buys seed from the seedmen who sell it from the general crop which is raised by farmers especially for them. Then there is always an opportunity opportun-ity for a farmer to sell choice Beed oats, corn or potatoes to his nearby friends for a better price than his general gen-eral crops will bring. Tho time is coming when good Beed will be better appreciated by farmers. |
