Benton farmers eye seed corn testing station
Benton county farmers may establish a seed corn testing station with G P Deyoe and the Community Club backing the effort. An estimated 15 000 to 20 000 bushels will be needed to plant 1926 crops as officials say 30 percent have enough corn locally. Initial tests will sample 200 kernels from a small ear, then 500 more if results are positive. Wilt Spelman from Denver visited Orient while Ed Spelman’s brother recovers at home.
