CORN MAY BE BAD

Com Testers Requested to Send Results to Crop Improvement Committee, Chicago.

[National Crop Improvement Service.) Early tests of corn indicate that it will be fully as necessary in 1913 to test seCd corn as it was in 1911, and we would like to have a report from all of the Couqty Agents who have made seed tests so far this season. The situation in Nebraska and Oklahoma, while pretty bad, is lightened by the fact that northern Nebraska and southern Oklahoma escaped the drouth, and still have seed com, but it is necessary for the local committees in other counties to get aftet it immediately before it is fed ot shipped. The disturbing feature in Western Kansas and Oklahoma has been the lack of enough seed wheat, but the quality of all -wheats is usuaity good this year and the acreage is reported to be greatly increased.
