The farmer who plants in April or first week in May will have a "borer hatcher." SECOND Plant varieties known to yield well when infested with borers. No variety is "RESIST ANT," but some stand and yield much better than others when heavily infested with borers. Plowing and spraying help, but it does little good to plow if the stalks are listed out again, and spraying is expensive. If not done at the right time, and often more than once, the money is wasted. Two of our Nebr. Certified varieties, Nebr. 701 and Nebr. 601, have given unusually good results when infested with borers. Our supplv of Nebr. 701 is sold out. We have flat kernels left m Ncbr.,t01, Ohio C02, U. S. 13, and Nebr. 503. Order from H. G. Arends, Manley, or from us. H011IAR0 A. POOL ELMWCOD, NEBR. h 7t were used as centerpieces.
