FARMERS
Shortage of Corn Crop For
1918 Foreseen as a
Probability.
GOVERNMENT TO RESCUE
Emergency Agents For Seed
Corn Campaign Are
Busy as Dees
If the teats and reports of lead
ing farmers and government experts
all over the Misaimippl Valley mean
anything and are to be relied upon
then the corn growers and all allied
nduatriea and persons dependent up
on king corn are faring a most ser
ious situation.
According to tests only about 10 to
20 per rent of the corn of last year's
crop will germinate and come up. Be
cause an car looks good on the out
side is not conclusive evidence thst
the Irrsrt of the grain is sound snd
will germinate. On account of sea
sonal conditions las, fall a Urge
percentage of the corn in Kentucky
did not mature perfectly. Hence,
is sxtreniely important that all
seed corn be tested before plant-
ng.
Reports of tests in the corn States
north of the Ohio river indicate that
huae States have practically no corn
tliat wdl do for aeed. Thev will
have to purrhaae their aeed elsewhere !
snd the national government reports
isy that Kentucky ana lennessee
are more fortunste than any other
Statea in having a larger supply of
well matured corn for seed. One
report from Illinois ssys they want
100,000 bushels. One county in
lo needs 4.600 bushels. They
will hsve to get seed corn some
where. Every farmer in thia county
who has good corn should imme
diately set about to teat hia aeed
for his own use and lay aside a
good surplus for those who aro not and motion for an allowance pend
io fortunate. Thia corn should bring ing. trail of cause,
good prices. While pedigreed corn l e. 8. Cooper, Jr., vs. Western Un-
ul in some instances, bringing $8
to $10 per bushel but ordinary corn'nal contract sued on. Same ordered

$5. I
Farmers are urged to cooperate
with Mr. J. W. Keeling who has
been appointed by the government
to aid and aaaiat the people of this
county in seed corn testing for the
next 30 days. He will have head-
tuarters in the II. B. M. A. office
