Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 109, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 May 1918 — Reserve Supply of Seed Established. [ARTICLE]

Reserve Supply of Seed Established.

In order to provide for a late demand for seed for replanting, the department of agriculture has purchased and stored supplies of seed corn at various points. The varieties included are medium yellow dent, Early yellow dent, and early: white dent. It is shelled and sacked into two bushel bags. The chief point of storage is Toledo, Ohio, but lots will be sent to Lafayette to save express. This corn will be sold at $5.75 per bushel in even bag lots. Under the law this corn must be sold for cash, but in order to speed delivery, arrangements have been made to accept cashiers checks on local banks for the total amount of corn to be bent to any one locality. Should a necessity for replanting arise, Jasper couqty farmers will do well to get in before a general stampede.
