CORN SHOW GROWS.

That the National Corn Exposition
70 be held In Omaha December 6 to IS,
will be a more popular show than any
exposition devoted to corn. grains and
grasses, Ia evidenced by the number
of states which were not represented
at either the 1907 show In Chicago or
the 1908 show In Omaha.
Among the 1000 exhibitors last year
almost every state in the Union vas
represented. but many were not rep
resented by an exhibit from their az
ricultural colleges or general display
made by the state. States which are
arranging to have exhibits ON extern
sive plans are North Dakota. Arkan-
sas. Colorado. Montana, Oklahoma.
All OF the states having displays in
1908 will return with new and origin
al exhibits in 1909.
There Is u movement to make each
exhibit entirely different in character
and to further this the representa-
tives are given the manage
ment outlines OF the plans each
state is making. For instance. New
York will show one line OF work such
as accomplishments in deseloping .
perfect dent corn to ripen during the
short seasons in that state: Wiscon-
sin will giYe variety TO the expedition
by making barley the main -theme-
OF Its display. while Montana will pui

duced by dry farming method which

Good Average Crops.

A.. E. Teachout, of Glencoe, who
came from southwest Iowa in Febru-
airy, 1906, writes: 1--WE are engaged In
stock raising and general farming.
Corn and small grain is our rotation.
Have had a good average crop of
wheat each year also have had good
corn with the exception of last year;
we had the corn all right but 15-
minute hail storm August 10th was
too much for it. Have eighty acres
this year that think will average
around IS bushels per acre. Have
not threshed our wheat yet but think
it will yield about 20 bushels per
acre. We are keeping 30 to IS head
Of COWS, letting the calves run with
them through the season; also rails
ing colts. Have this year. Can say
Of North Dakota it Is an ideal place
for stock raising, plenty of hay and
shelter during bad storms is all that
is required. Expensive buildings are
not necessary. A closed shelter with
hay or straw roof will do for a
starter.

J. b. Irvine, near Stewartsdale,
who came from Canada in 1879, ant
who is now in possession of half a
dozen quarters Of land, writes under
date of Sept. 28th he is now threshing
his twenty-sixth crop in Missouri

I have never had an entire failure
and only one considerable loss from
hail. My wheat has yielded as high
as thirty bushels an acre, but that is
exceptional-will average for the

making about twenty.

from western Iowa in 1905, and locat-

experiences as follows:
Coming to North Dakota was a
good move for us. The mistake we
made was in not coming ten years
ago. L don't see but that crops have
been as good here as in Iowa under
like conditions. I we'll remember in
the early settlement of western Iowa,
of dry weather, hail and light crops.
AS the country became developed by
good farming, planting of groves,
things changed. The same change will

and western North Dakota. BY COM
