SEED CORN TEST
PROVES ITS WORTH
Ten Million More Bushels of Corn
In Nebraska Than Last
Year

Omaha, Nov. l2.-There is a
marked Improvement in the Nebras-
ka corn crop now being harvested
a remarkable improvement, in fact,
over the crop of last year, and one
of the prime causes, is the fact that
careful attention in being given to
seed.
The press last spring called atten-
ton to the fact that Nebraska corn
raisers were using, in many instan
ces, seed that was weak in sprout-
ing. The Commercial club of Omaha
then took up the proposition, and as
a result thousands Of samples
were secured from all parts of the
state and 81 yen to experts to test.
The verdict was guilty. The gener-
al run Of Nebraska seed corn was
found to be weak in terminating
power. In a score of tests the
average highest was shown to be 81
per cent and % per cent was the
lowest. In other words, of corn re-
ceived of ffty-seven ears in 100
would grow at the best, and of the
poorest just twenty three.
Then the camgaign began. The
publicity bureau issued l00,0 0C
copies of a leafet telling how to test
seed corn. 1t sent letters and re-
ports of tests to every newspaper in
Nebraska.
Gram companies put up 1900
yellow cards which read: Test Your
Corn" Creamery companies joined
in the work and had 2.40O warning
cards placed in local stations. I'M
plement dealers in Omaha and Coun-
ell Bluffs took chips in the game and
from these 1900 big cards were sent
out. The Omaha Clearing House
association, all the railroads, live
stock dealers, the agricultural col
leges of the state university and
other institutions joined the Com
mercial club of Omaha in shouting
for tests of seed corn by the indivi-
dual farmer.
The crop is now being harvested.
1t IS 10, 000,0 900 bushels greater than
last year.

Like a night, without a moon,
1t is lonesome to Father and Mother
How she's missed each hour at noon.

H A BOY
CAN DO IN SO. OAK.
Experience of One Iowa Boy
With Energy and
Nerve

Three years ago last September,
a boy Of l9 wears came to Miller
from Iowa to visit a brother. The
boy was in poor health, discouraged,
and possessed just $3.50. He went
to work in the Torroy livery barn
for a short time, began to feel
letter, and then went out on a farm
to husk corn in Burdette twp.
The following spring his brother
helped him to get a team and some
farm Implements. He rented some
ground near Miller, put IN a crop
and got $3.50 for his share, using
most Of it to pay on his team and
tools.
The next year he bought a farm
on contract from a good Samaritan.

pay for enough lumber for build.
ings in three yearly payments, put
down a well, and started to break
up his farm. He has now been here
three years, and has grown from a
120-lb sickly boy to a strong l60-lb
man, and is paying out nicely on all
his obligations. He has made one
small payment on the land. and two
OF his three payments on his lumber
The first year on his own farm and
some rented land he marketed Sl700
worth of crop. He is living on his
farm today and his sister is keeping
house for him
When he bought the raw 100 acres
two years ago he paid $500 per
acre for it. Today it is worth $50
per acre.
The farm today contains, a house
22x24, with cellar, barn I8x44, gran
airy for 1900 bushels. chicken house
and 200 chickens, a well and wind

waited, 8 acres hog pasture. 6 head
of horses, A cows, z calves, II hogs.
100 tons Of hay, feed and seed for
coming year, farm machinery.
This is the actual work of one boy
in three years, by Industry, perse-
verence and nerve.
This young mans brother is a
business mar in Miller. and every
word of this can be verified by sew
eral citizens familiar with the cir
cumstances.
Need the PRESS say any more,
than to recite these plain facts?
What one Young man has done
others can do If they have the nerve
and determination. There are hun
dreds of acres of vacant land in Hand
county calling to such men to grasp
this opportunity.

THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
Gov. Wesley Sets Aside Thursday
Nov. "a for Giving
Thanks

Executive Chambers, Pierre,
South Dakota. The absence of the
opening buds of spring; the faded
blossoms of departed summer; the
gray yelled skies of autumn; the
chill of lengtheying nights and the
tang of frosty mornings all serve to
remind Us of the approaching end
of the present year and bring again
to our minds our beautiful custom
of National Thanksgiving.
1t is in accordance with this pious
custom, born of the grateful hearts
of u forefathers in the dim long
ago and faithfully observed by the
generations through the years, and
humble acknowledgement of the
manifold mercies received from

suits and regular business and de-
vote our minds and hearts to the

who guards and directs the destinies
of men and of nations, who blessings
are o manifest throughout the
state and country.
The sunshine of prosperity has
smiled upon our land and peace and

among our citizens has been lifted,
for which let us be especially CRATE

Our evident blessings are many
and we gather about our hearth

TWO FIRES IN
SOUTH MILLER
One House, Two Barns and Is
Horses Destroyed

A fire alarm was turned in Tues
day night about 1920 from the
electric plant whistle in South
Miller. Fire was discovered in the
dwelling occupied by John Keller
and family. Mr. Keller was away
from home and his wife and two
children had gone to bed. MRS
Eeller discoyed the fire and notified
the light plant employees, only a few
feet from her home.
The fire boys got there in fairly
good time, together with a crowd of
spectators but after attaching the
hose to a hydrant ear the stock
yards, no water could be obtained.
Time was lost in going back to con.
meet ut the Vanderbilt corner. IN
the mean time the building was rap
idly burning, and adjoining build
ing only saved by lei on the roofs
with buckets of voter. When the
water did finally come. it was a poor
little stream with only force enough
To throw a dozen or two feet, so the
building was entirely burned. By
good work of the fire bows consider
able of Mrs Keller S goods were got
out Of the house.
The building belonged the Electric
Co. and was insured for about $500.
The Go. also lost about $500 worth
of supplies stored in the building,
and employees lost clothing and
tpols. :
At $50 the next morning, the city
was aroused by another alarm from
the same quarter. Fire had broken
out in a feed stable, saved the night
before. II was the old Richardson
barn, with a lean-to living room on.
the side 1t is supposed the fire start
ed from a chimney in this lean-to.
This building and a barn on the
3. r. Barnes lot were consumed, to-
gether with Z head of horses belong
20 Charles Morrow and 6 head of
mules belonging to VIM. Dulen.
harness. feed, some chickens, etc.
A team of Fred Hellmuth's was
saved.
The water works exhibition at the
fires was a pathetic sight to the old
er citizens who have dwelt IN confd-
ence of good fire protection. Not
many years ago two great streams
of water could have been turned
onto this first fire at least, and read
ily put out. Whether everything
worked wrong, or whether our force
is gone entirely is the question of
interest. Some think we should put
up q tank or stand-pipe, and others
want q more thorough test made

Ace of AppIa Trees.

A good four year-old apple tree, If
well grown and dug carefully, is de-
Sirable tree for town lot or the vii
lage garden. but is not to be recon-
mended for orchard planting, 1t is
too expensive, as the grower must
have big price for it to pay him for
use of land and labor to grow dig and
pack such tree. 1t is too large to
handle properly and plant in the or
chard, and the shock is too great for
such large tree to be removed after
growing four years in a crowded nurs-
cry row. The chances are all against
the tree being of desirable shape, and
there is but little chance for the plant
er to get it into the desired shape of
the modern orchard tree. The very
best tree to plant in the orchard is
good one year tree. Such tree should
be from three to five feet high, accord
ing to variety, some varieties making
much more growth than others in the
same soil. The roots of this one year
tree are ready to take right hold Of
the soil and commence to grow. The
top OF this one year tree is easily form
ed to any desired height and shape
that suit the owner and is to be pre-
ferred to any other size or age Of tree
Set side by side, it will bear crop Of
fruit before the older and larger tree.

Ross then settled down and held

sewer pipe just described. This spill
way is thirty-two feet wide, and the
piers each side stand about four feet
above, having been raised about two
feet for safety after Mr.. Call had
seen the water almost get over his
bank the previous spring. Too much
care cannot be taken in having ample
and safe spillway to take all the water
that can possibly come down. With
such adequate spillways dirt dams are
about the best and cheapest farmer
con construct, as almost all the work
can be done by his own teams and
scraper. Below the spillway on the
lower side of the dam is good place
to dump stones if you have them on
the farm; if not and the bottom is
not of hard material YOU must finish
with cement grout so it cannot under
mine.
There is little power house contain
ing the water wheel and the little dy-
namo Of about six horsepower which
furnishes light for Mr.. Calls house and
buildings. The machinery requires lit
tie attention, being oiled once a week
and stopped and started from the
house by wire connected with SIM
pie attachment to the gate of the wa
ter wheel. Here are city comforts
right in the home of the farmer. With
such power he can churn, run a
washing machine, saw wood, run a
feed cutter.
Lots of farmers during the dry sum-
mers draw water some distance for
stock who need not have done so If
they had made pond and retained the
flood water. Such a pond would be
valuable even if not used for power.

who made a dam in a brook passing
through his back yard which is dry
for several weeks every summer. thus
making a pond which stored flood wa
ters, on the bank of which he set up

of which he irrigated his orchard on
land above.
