HOME GROWN SEED BEST IF OBTAINABLE
"Beware of seedmen from other states who offer great things in the line of guaranteed seed. Don't take things for granted. As the state seed law cannot be held to apply in the case of interstate sales, one has no protection in such instances."
This is the warning issued from the office of A. L. Stone, the state seed inspector. He reports that an increasing number of highly decorated catalogs full of rich promises is being mailed broadcast throughout the state.
The officials of the inspection service are urging grain growers to sow home grown seed, if such is obtainable.
Seeds that have been proven "best by test" and are reasonably certain of producing good yields cannot be obtained through hit and miss mail order buying.
