FARMERS URGED TO GET THEIR SEED CORN NOW Condition of New Crop Generally Poor, Says Purdue Farm Expert, Wayne county's 191S corn crop may be seriously curtailed because of the condition and scarcity of well matured seed corn, E. C. Martlndale, government representative, who has been investigating In the county, said Saturday. Only fourteen farmers were found by Martindale to have a good supply of seed corn. Farmers not having seed corn are urged to secure some of the supply of the farmers who do have it. ""Ther seed condition of old corn Is very good but the condition of new corn is very poor as a rule unless selected and stored early," Mr. Martlndale's report says. Can Store It. "Every farmer in the county can find a place to store enough seed for his own use where it will dry properly before freezing," Mr. Martindale's report says. "Doubtless there is some good seed In the county that has not been located. If there should be, this Bhould . be reported to I. B. Beck, trustee's office, Richmond. "Ministers, bankers and grain dealers, in fact everyone should assist the local distributing agency In notifying farmers where they can get their seed corn for next year's crop. Everybody should urge the Importance of getting the seed this fall. "If there should be any farmer who cannot obtain enough good seed this fall write to the extension department of Purdue university, at Lafayette, Ind." : Those having seed corn in Wayne county follow: Hermon L.
