Selection of Seed Corn.

! FURNISHED by the Minnesota Farmers In
stttutes St, Anthony Park, St Paul0
The total cost Of growing and
harvesting an acre Of corn is be-
tween $40 and S12. 1t therefore
takes IS or 40 bushels at the aver
age price of 80 cents to cover the
cost of production.
The yield of corn depends, LIST up
on the fertility of the soil; I'd, meth
cd of tillage and cultivation; Sd,
character of seed corn; 4th, weather
conditions. Three of these condi-
tons can be controlled by the farm
er. Character of seed is the most
important factor of all.
One 10 ounce ear per hill will
give yield of % bushels per acre;
two 10 ounce ears per hill gives
yield of Sc bushels and three $40
ounce ears per hill will give yield
of "a bushels. The average yield
of corn in Minnesota is about 80
bushels per acre. We aresIgrowing
about one-third of a perfect stand.
The corn grower who can control
the stand of corn is the successful
grower, and with a nearly per-
feet stand" can secure SO to Is
bushels of corn per acre with aver
age methods of cultivation. The
stand of corn depends upon the
quality of seed corn. One Of the
most desirable places from,which to
get seed corn for any farm is from
the field of corn grown on that
farm. Select at husking time few
of the best ears as you find them on
good stalks. Have a basket or box
or sack along to put these good ears
in. If you desire to get your va
riety to ripen earlier, go thru the
field before all the corn is ripe and
select good ears that ripened first.
This will probably reduce the size
of the corn butt it will make it
earlier. AS shown by the above
figures, large ears of corn are not
necessary to get large yield. A
good yield depends on a good stand
of stalks that will bear ripe ears.
When the seed corn is selected in
the fall, it should be placed where
it will dry out quickly. where it can
not heat and WHERE it will not
freeze. The attic over the kitchen
is very good place. for seed corn.
Every corn grower should have his
aim set for 100 bushels per acre. 1t
can be realized in a large part of
Minnesota.

solving the nation s difficulties. Colonel Tay-
lor accepted the invitation and proposed the is
sue Of legal tenders, which was accepted by
Lincoln and proposed to Congress by him.
which in turn aroused the animosty of the
New York financial conspirators, and they
gathered their lobby together to defeat the
measure, and succeeded in so mangling the bill
that it fastened debt on the people and per-
united the conspirators to continue to control
the issue Of the currency instead of the gov
eminent issuing it in the interest Of the peo-
pie.
Was it any wonder that it came out badly
mutilatedP But as bad as it was, it had won
derful virtues, so much so that Lincoln said
OF it: "We gave the people of this republic
the greatest blessing they ever had-their own
paper money to pay their own debts' This
is the letter:
"My Dear Colonel Dick: have long de-
termined to make public the origin of the
greenback and tell the world that it is of Dick
Taylor's creation. You have always been
friendly to me, and troublous times fell on US,

I said to you:

"Chase thought it hazardous thing but
finally accomplished it and gave to the peo-
pie the greatest blessing they ever had-their
own paper to pay their own debts'
Mark this-''the greatest blessing they ever
had'-is the key to where Abraham Lincoln
stood, and he protected this issue against the
constant onslaught of these New York conspir-
ators.
Had Lincoln lived and settled the Civil
War questions we believe he would have made
