It is likely that seed corn will not be quite so hard to find as some have thought, but the mas who plants un tested seed is Just as much of a traitor as the one who delluuratelr throws obstacles in the way of the tlon or ships or the oluclal jaanufac-turer who pawns off poor munltkxns-on the government and therebyrsusw the death of our soldiers Ths planting at seed that -will not grow la a waste the land.
