Many can find it on their own land, or can get it of their neighbors, and get higher yeilding corn than by sending away. Professor T. A. Kiessel bacli of the University of Nebras ka has the following to say of the present situation: “The Government Crop Report has estimated the probable yield of corn in Nebraska at less than 35 per cent of a normal crop. The crop is restricted more or less to certain areas, while large portions of the state will have almost a total failure. This condition calls at tention to the matter of seed com for next spring’s planting. The seed corn situation, however, need not be so serious as it appears at first thought. In fact such years as this may be beneficial by way of eliminating all but the more hardy strains of corn within any ordinary variety. If only scatter ing plants produce ears under the prevailing hardships, it is quite reasonable to believe that these plants are especially resistant and should provide the best kind of seed corn. Even though the ears be small, it is to be recommended wherever possible, that a fanner select seed from his own or neigh bor's field. The small size will be clue to adverse growing conditions and will not be transmitted to the following crop. At any rate an abundance of seed will be avail able in Nebraska for our own planting and there will be no need of importing less adapted seed i from other states.’’ Sherman County Teachers Following is a list of the teachers of Sherman county with the district number of their schools, as furnished us by Co.
