Jasper County Democrat, Volume 7, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 March 1905 — FREE SEED CORN. [ARTICLE]

FREE SEED CORN.

To the Editor: —The Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station desires to extend its work in the testing of varieties of corn to every county in the state and will be pleased to hear from farmers who would like to take part in the work. The object of these variety tests is to determine which varieties of corn are most profitable in the localities and to bring them to the notice of the people interested. After the best varieties of each locality have been determined, systematic work for their improvement will be taken up. Sufficient good seed of several varieties which seem to be suited to the locality, to plant about a quarter acre of each, can be sent, free of cost, to a limited number of farmers who will comply with the conditions of the tests, which will be explained upon request. Applications should be addressed to A. T. Wiancko, Agricultural Experiment Station, Lafayette, Ind. See the ladies’ new silk or covert jackets or long silk coats. Chicago Bargain Store.
