BUTTING AND TIPPING

Satisfying patrons over a wide expanse of territory is impossible 

 if only one breed of corn is grown. The sooner the limitation regard 

 ing the successful culture of a given type or variety is known to the 

 dealer, that much sooner the corn can be improved to fit the limited 

 district. If the dealer live in southern Iowa, he cannot expect a breed 

 which he has established in that rich, loamy soil to prove satisfactory^ 

 to growers in southern Minnesota or northern Nebraska; at least not 

 until it has become thoroughly acclimated in these districts, which 

 may take several years. By keeping in touch with each and every pur 

 chaser of seed, the results obtained will point to further exploration 

 of that field or its entire abandonment.
