In addition to music and recitations, the principal address of the evening will be delivered by Mr. Ernest Thornburg, who has been purchasing seed corn for the government. Mt. Thornburg will discuss the seed situation in all its phases, stating where farmers can obtain seed corn suitable for this county and show the importance of testing this year. The program committee feels that it has been fortunate to secure such a speaker at this time and cordially invites everyone to attend this meeting. There will also be subjects of usual interest to all. “We have already purchased with federal funds $85,000 worth of seed corn suitable for northern Indiana. You may tell your farmers that the

seed situation is being handled,” is the message received from Clarence Henry, state leader of the seed stock survey. Mr. Henry will be present at the annual meeting of the Better Farming association next Saturday to tell how, when and where this seed will be distributed. All are invited to attend the morning and afternoon sessions at the court house.
