Farmers Advised to Use
Home-Grown Seed Corn
Lincoln, May 2. (Special.) Farm
ers who purchase additional seed
corn to replant winter-killed wheat,
clover and alfalfa fields should obtain
locally grown seed whenever possible.
Experiments at the Nebraska Ex
periment station and the experience
of many farmers indicate that seed
brought from a long distance usually
does not produce as large yields as
where fully acclimated corn is used.
:Though. most of the seed corn
grown in Nebraska last year will
probably grow, testing seed is one
form of insurance which costs so lit
tle that it ought not to be neglected
when there is prospect of a food
shortage. A few samples tested at
the experiment station have been
found unfit for planting.

This Store and the Community
THIS Store has always stood for the
best interests of the community. It
has builded this great business upon the
idea of helping the city to grow with its
growth. i
AT THIS time, when everyone should
boost hard, there is a whole-souled
and genuine desire on our part to help.
0'
lUR President says: "It is evident to
every thinking man that Our indus
tries,, on the farm, in the ship yards, in
the mines, in the factories, must be made
more productive and efficient."
THIS does not mean that we should
pinch and save and hoard, but that
by working harder we may have more
to meet the new condition of affairs.
rOT by denying credit can a big estab
lishment like this do its part to fur-
ther the interests of the community
but rather by extending thehelpinghand
and stating that we shall not withdraw
or in any way reduce that privilege
which we have always extended to those
who are worthy of our confidence.
