THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

Department of Farm Welfare Conducted by County Agent Learning Early Selection Means Success “I have had to replant but two fields of corn since I began farming,’’ said John Farabee of Carpenter township last week. “I have always practiced picking my seed from the standing fields in September and consider that this has more to do with my good results than any other factor.” Mr. Farabee has a highly developed farm- at the edge of Remington and produces high yields of all staple crops. The seed corn on many farms will be ready for picking within the next ten days and the importance of the weather' warrants setting aside all other work until the seed has been placed on the dryers.
