CORN GROWING IN NORTHERN
MINNESOTA. 49,

Five years ago. the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station started to test vari-
cites and to breed corn in various
parts of northern Minnesota. AS is
we'll known the seasons for corn grow
ing, especially in the north where
corn must mature in less than 100
days, or run the danger of frost, have
been anything but favorable. In
spite Of this fact few varieties have
shown adaptability to short season
and an ability to yield goodly
amount of corn per acre. The vari-
cites thus far, most prominent in the
tests are, Minnesota No. %, North
western Dent, Mercor and Triumph
flint, Minnesota No. 10, Pride of the
North, and Minnesota King. Fore.
most among these is Minnesota No.
%, white cap yellow dent. This
variety was selected in 1903 at Uni
versity Farm at St. Anthony Park
from three or four hundred others,
for it's high yield-an average of sc
bushels of shelled corn per acre-and
it's early maturity. It ripened in less
than 100 days. In view of the fact
that early maturity and largest yields
are not correlated, that early maturity
must lessen the yield. No % was
thought to be an exceptional variety.
The tests at the northern trial sta.
tions have also shown it's superior
qualities. At Aitkin, Carlton, Grand
Rapids, Erskine, Frazee, Wadena,
Osakis, Crookston, Bemidji, and other
points, where it has been tested in a
thorough manner, No % has matured
and given promise of better perfor.
nance the longer it has been grown.
In 1907, 1908. and 1909 the surplus
seed grown at University Farm was
distributed to farmers in northern
Minnesota. There are therefore
many who have supply of seed for
sale. Farmers should get in touch
with those lnen and secure early a
supply for their own planting.
Corn growing in northern Minneso-
ia is successful provided the land is
in good condition of filth and drain
age; provided the cultivation is fire.
quent and shallow. not more than two
and one half inches deep; provided
the seed used is produced in the

not mean that there is no skill re-
quired in effective work with these

The percentage of hits made Is much
less than with the smaller guns, owing
to the incumbrance of the details. The
