WILL GO BEFORE FARMERS

To Demonstrate Seed Testing on Washington’s Birthday, Feb. 22. ■ s At I o’clock at practically every school house in the county, a member of the Jasper County Seed Stocks and Labor committee will give a demonstration of the need and methods of conducting the individual ear test of seed corn. The committee reached this decision as a result of the seed survey just completed. This work showed the memJiers the great seed shortage that the county faces and taught them that many farmers still think they have suitable seed for planting, when about 50 or 60 per cent of the corn stored for seed will not grow. The members are giving their own corn the individual ear test. On Washington’s birthday they will take their test boxes to the place assigned them. The men to their district will be invited in and be shown exactly what the conditions are. This work will be held at the following places: CARPENTER TOWNSHIP John Teter.School house. Dis. No. I Chas.
