Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Founda
tion which is sponsoring the show
and ofTcring $17,000 in prizes. Mr.
Muegagen is out after the Kittle
trophy of $1. 000, offered for the best
car of seeel corn in America.
The National Seed Corn Show is
bringing home to corn growers the
necessity for careful selection and
te'sting of ears this spring in order
to insure a normal crop for 19 25. K.
B. Heaton, general manager of th
show, estimates that if farmers will
pick out their seed corn and test it
for germination before planting, it
will mean a total increase of one
billion bushels next harvest time.
The National Seed Corn Show is
unique. Any corn grower may jhare
in the prizes, but no one may enter
more than a single ear. In addition
to showing the best specimens of
leading growers, the Chicago show
will also display representative ears
from thousands of eomcriba. No car
will be awarded a prize until tested
for germination power and disease re
sistance, the judges to be selected by
the American Society of Agronomy.
Entries should be mailed to Sears
