Hampton, Oct. 15.-With corn crop
that will not exceed half the yield Of
last year, there will be comparatively
few cattle fed during the coming Win
ter in this vicinity. Uncertainty in
prices, in the feeding quality of the
new crop and in the possibility Of a
sufficient local supply of corn, has
caused many men who usually feed
cattle to decide to hold his stock for
another year, hoping that conditions
will be more favorable next fall. 1t is
the general opinion that Well
fatted stock will sell at a high price
but there is no confidence in the mar
ket for half finished stuff and nobody
cares to try to experiment unless he
has a good prospect of turning off a
we'll finished product, hence there will
be many empty feed yards over tins
part of the country during the entire
feeding season.
Unusual care in the matter OF Sc
curing and selecting seed corn is an
other noticeable feature here this fall.
Men who never before thought of saw
ing seed before the husking season be-
gan, are going thru their fields with
a grain sack, hunting for the best ears,
which they hang up in punches in pro-
tected places i'll the farm buildings.
Very few farmers care to risk the
chance Of selecting their seed after the
hard freezes that always occur before
the end of the husking season, and it
is safe to say that fully two-thirds
of the seed corn requisite for next
years planting is now hanging in the
granaries. corn cribs and barns or is
piled in attics. kitchens and other con-
venient places in the houses of the
country. If "seed corn week" was as
universally observed in other parts Of
the state as it was here. advocates of
the idea would have reason to be graf
flied with the results of their efforts
in agitating the subject.
A twenty-acre field on the farm of
Frank Eberhart, three miles east OF
here affords good Illustration of
what that cereal is capable of doing
even in an unfavorable season, when
given an opportunity. The field in
question was devoted to corn last year
and after husking last seasons crop
was given a coat of manure applied
with spreader Last spring just be-
fore blowing a second fertilization was
given it in the same manner as the
first. The first planting failed to
grow and the field was replanted about
the middle of June, A good average
crop is the result and Notwithstanding
the lateness of planting it was from
this field that Mr.. Eberhart selected his
seed, which is as good, perhaps, as ans,
to be found in this locality. 1t is
said that the field received only the
usual three civilizations but were given
when needed, and the result is an ex-
ample to the farmer who is inclined
to spread his work over larger acre
age than he can attend to at the time
attention is most necessary.
