The good price of wheat and
the immense yields of Kansas
and Nebraska the past season,
coupled with the fact that the
corn crop in these sections was
in many parts a failure, has caus-
edan unusual acreage of the
former to be sown, and a cores
poDdinglY smaller acreage Of
corn to be planted for, Dakota
farmers are in position and
should take advantage Of this
state of things. and let up on
wheat aud increase their corn
acreage, and we are much surer
of a corn crop than we are of
wheat if only we handle it right.
Wheat we put into the ground
and then are helpless as to the
Outcome, while if the ground has
been properly prepared and good
tried seed put in we can, by pro-
per tillage, almost say whether
we shall have a crop of corn or
rot. If we give our corn one or
two plowings, and then plow
deep, cutting off half as much
needed roots. and letting the
moisture out and the heat in, and
do not drag at al. before the corn
is up, we need not expect much
corn should the season be dry,
but if we reverse all this, rain or
shine, a fair crop of corn can
nearly always be maturcd in

That the German Emperor's
