The Seed Corn Special.
On Friday, March 12th, at 2:30 .p. m., the Seed Corn Special, sent out
by the Commercial Club of Omaha, will arrive in North Platte.
Accompanying this train will be Prof. H. J. Gramlich, of the Ne
braska Experimental Station; Mr. O. Hull, of Alma; Senator E. P. Brown;
W. P. Snyder, of the North Platte Experimental Station, and W. R. Mel
lor, Secretory of the State Board of Agriculture. The train will be
here at least one-half hour, and, if possible, longer, and as this is the
last point west on the Uuion Pacific that it will stop, we hope to hold
it here for the afternoon.
There seems to be no question but that the seed corn this year is
very poor and that to insure a good crop, it will be absolutely necessary
to test the corn. Several farmers are doing this, in fact, several did last
year, and there is a marked difference in the crops in every instance.
However, it is the desire of the Omaha Commercial Club, as well as the
North Platte Chamber of Commerce, to have every farmer test his corn
and, consequently, these Corn Specials.
The Omaha Commercial Club is spending something like $7,000 in
putting out these specials, and the only way we can show our apprecia
tion is to have a good attendance.
The North Platte Chamber of Commerce is spending considerable
money in advertising this special and would like to have every farmer in
the county here.
Be sure and come. Be here promptly at 2:30, p. m., central time,
and let us give the special a rousing reception.
