The North Dakota corn show that

with the Tri-State Grain Growers

gest thing OF its kind in the history OF

good year for corn in North Dakota,
and some of the finest corn ever seen
in the Northwest will he in the COM

If YOU have field OF corn keep an
eve GU, for the best ears. Throw these
into a pile by themselves, and later
on, at your leisure, select from the
pile the best ten ears, and send them
20 Prof. G. W. Randlett, Agricultural
College, N, D who will see that your
exhibit ISIS placed in its proper class
at the corn show.
The state is sectioned off, so that
this locality has as good a cnance'
and no better, as any other, to bring
home some of the prize money. $1,000
in prizes is offered on corn and grains.
The Short Talks published elsewhere
in this issue will give you some point

should be added to what is said there
The ten ears ought to be as nearly

no better, than any other grower in
the state.
The Corn Should Be Selected Now
The time to select the corn for the
contest is a. tie time of harvesting
the cTo.., wAen the very best and
cnUrcest may be set aside for the pur
pose. If you want to go into this
thing to win we suggest that you
rough-sort several bushels of more
than ordinarily good ears to start with
and that these be we'll cared for. Then
later very carefully choose out
the best ten of the select ears. In
this way you will have better
chance to get winning exhibit than
if you limit yourself to hrst choice Of
ten good ears. BY the way, at the
same time you will be selecting out
some very good corn to save for seed
purposes.
Extension Bulletin No 1 Will Help You
1t is not always an easy matter to
pick out good ear Of corn. There
are little things that mean much to
the judge which the practical grower
is apt to overlook. Some of these
things are the size of the butt the
filling Of the tip, the closeness of row.
ing, depth of kernel. size of cob, and
the like. The Extension Bulletin men

regarding corn, and many other mat
ters of interest to the grain growers,

What Does 1t Meant

to effect Jan l will. be surprise
to many Minot business men and pos
sibly some bankers in Ward county.
The law was passed by the last con-
gress and one section of the law will
set many guessing.
1t provides that no person shall
draw check upon a bank for less
than 81, and violation of the pro-
vision of the law can be punished by
fine of $500 or a sentence of six
months, or both the fine and SEN
tence. The law reads:
"No person shall make, issue, cir
culate or pay out any notes, check,
memorandum, token, or other obli-
CATION for less sum than 81 intend
ed to circulate as money or to be re-
ceive or used in lieu of lawful money
of the United States, and every per-
son so offending shall be fined not
more than $500 or Imprisonment not
more than six months, or BOTH
Bankers say they have heard moth
ing about the provision, but one
states that lawmakers frequently do
peculiar things and Judging from
statements, if the object Of the law
is to stop the issuance of small
checks, Section 17s of the Federal
Criminal Code is one of the most
peculiar yet. The tnanciers admit
that the wording of the section would
stop the sending out by depositors OF
checks calling for less than 81.
II such construction can be placed
on the new law and upheld, the life
of the small token" better known as
pool or beer check is limited and
the trading check has no chance at
all.
Why it should be criminal offense
10 draw a check in payment of debt
Of less than one dollar is mystery
that only national legislator could
such gravity that it may be punished
with fine OF $500 and six months
Imprisonment brings it almost to the
border of the ridiculous in the view
of any sensible man. One would think
that man owing a bill of less than a
dollar has the same natural right to
llquidate it by check as he would have
If the amount exceeded that sum-
# the purpose was step toward the
establishment of postal savings banks
as has been suggested, it is hard to
explain why it was necessary to re-
sort to such absurd measures to Ell
force upon the public mind the de-
STABILITY Of postal banks. The part
les directly affected are the people at
