FOR 1912
Owing to the very wet fall
of 1911 and the extremely
cold winter a great deal of
corn did not receive proper
care and- is therefore unfit
for seed and farmers should
exercise more care than us-
ual in selecting their seed as
replanting is never so good.
Having a practical man in
Essex, 1 have been able to
secure corn from some of
the very best farms and can
offer you the very choicest
of seed either on or off the
cob.
1 have 90 Day, Leaming,
Bailey or White Cap Dent.
These are the best silo corns;
also Compton's Early. These
corns have all been tested
for germination and are No.
1. Get your seed corn from
J. A. Mills and secure a good
crop for the coming season.
