Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 223, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 September 1913 — Seed Corn Selection Demonstrations. [ARTICLE]

Seed Corn Selection Demonstrations.

Seeing the necessity for more careful and more thoughtful selection of seed corn throughbut Jasper county, I have arranged, with a representative frbm Purdue, to hold a .secies of demonstrations on selection and storing of seed corn. There is little doubt about the necessity of more attention to the smaller details, in general, on the farms of our county and since corn is the most extensive crop grown here it seems to me we should do> everything possible to increase our yield and that may be done by the careful selection and proper storing of our seed. These demonstrations are to be held on the farm and in the fields on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 23 and 24. The schedule is as follows: Tuesday, Sept. 23. 9 to 10 at Dr. Brown’s farm, 1 mile north of Rensselaer. 10:30 to 11:30 at Geo. Parker’s, 6 miles east and 1% miles north of Rensselaer. 1:30 to 2:30 at Chas. Guttriche’s, 5 miles south and 3 miles east of Rensselaer. 3:00 to 4:00 at Geo. Putt’s, 2 miles north and 2 miles east of Goodland and 3 miles north and s'miles west of Remington. z . Wednesday, Sept. 24. 9 to 10:30 at Elmer Pullins’, in Gillam township. 1: to 2:30 at Andrew Miech’s, P/z 1 to 2:30 at Andrew Misch’s, l’/s miles south and % mile west of Wheatfield; Jfc3o to 5:00 at John Guss’, 11 miles north and 1 mile west of Rensselaer and 1 mile south and % mile east of Virgie. Advertise the demonstrations all that is ]k>ssible and help to make them a success by being present and bring as many of your neighbors with you as possible. The representative from Purdue will have something to say to you that is worth while and something that you should not miss. I will be more than glad to have as many as can see fit to do so go with automobiles on the trip either on one day or both. If you have a machine and are able to get a load of interested men and make the trip do so. There is much of value "that we may all obtain by getting about the county in this way, and it will help to stir up a little enthusiasm and encouragement to tlie men of the various neighborhoods if we can make this demonstration one that is worth while. All that I can do without your cooperation, is rather meager, so *get together now and push the work along. O. G. BARRETT, County Agent.
