Farmers Should Save all Good Seed
Corn.

GOFNs
The past season has shown, as never
before, the Value Of seeding at least
small field Of corn for seed purposes
on every farm. In many sections the
hay crop was an almost total failure,
the same may be said of barley and
oats for feed. The amount of straw
IS also quite limited; miliet seeded late
also failed to q large degree owing to
the exceptional July drought and the
GOODNESS of the August weather. Corn
Is the only crop that has produced
large quantities of feed in all but the
very dry districts OF the state which
are undertake with light subsoil
Consequently next year there will
be a larger acreage of corn seeded than
ever before as the farmers want to be
sure and have an abundance OF feed
of some kind and not again be caught
as they were this year. Corn did not
ripen except in few fields through
out the state owing to the early Sep
TENDER frost. For this reason good
North Dakota grown seed corn is liable
to be very scarce the coming spring
and it will undoubtedly command a
good price.
Any farmer that has matured a good
crop of corn this year will be well re-
paid IL he takes some trouble to save
it for seed. The corn should be picked
now, either out OF the field or shock
and only well matured ears should be
selected. These should be thoroughly
air-dried before November 1. Prob
ably the best way to do this is to hang
the ears Of corn UP, or place them on
horizontal racks made of poultry net
ting in an open shed or granary having
a good roof that will not leak. Before
winter sets in the seed corn should be
fire dried by placing in the attic or
in some room having the benefit Of
heat yet where the temperature Is not
too high and where no steam or other
moisture penetrates. Under no cir
cumstances should seed corn be stored
in granaries over other grain or in
barn lofts over live stock, as it will alb
sorb more or less moisture, and freez-
ing temperatures are very liable to
weaken If they do not destroy the
germ. Seed corn IL 1t is perfectly dry
will stand quite a low temperature
without injury, but even a light freeze
will injure IL IL the corn contains a
little moisture. The corn should be
left on the cob all winter and a germi-
mating test should be made in the
spring to see II it will grow good and
strong as we'll as test a high percent
age of live kernels.

The auditorium freshly tinted In two

In a brief, stimulating address,
President Weld pointed the encourage
ment OF the hour, and left an inspira-
ton in the hearts of ALL He referred,
with a sense of congratulation, to the
auspicious opening of the school, to
the energizing evidences of work al,
ready started, both so, gratifying to
him on his return from weeks quest
in search of new man for the faculty.
He urged the students to expect much
from the school, not only from their
work and its faithful performance, but
from their association with members
of the faculty. Success he said "in
school or in life depends on the dis
charge Of obligation. Obligation is
imposed on us by the sacrifice of 9TH
Iers. Parents make sacrifices that their
they themselves never knew. Loyalty
TO the obligations which these sacri'
fees impose, is therefore the measure
of our success. A few days ago the
great lake steamer, Pere Marquette,
went down on Lake Michigan All her
passengers were saved; but all except
three OF her crew were drowned, in

They had sacrificed themselves for
others. The incident, said Mr.. Weld, is
only another example Of the heroism
of the plain people, who are true to
their trust true to their obligations.
But the measure of the sacrifice Is
determined by those for whom the sac
rifice Is made. Shall ii be a. real loss.
In usefulness, In happiness. in life. as
the years go by, or true gain? This
Ia determined by those for whom the
sacrifice is made"
In this strain Mr.. Weld inspired q
keen appreciation of what the work of
the school should mean to Its mem
hers, impressing the thought that hard
ships and disappointments are often
the ennobling and even the glorifying
agencies of life.

ly to the west of these have suffered,
to a considerable extent.
There have been no reports of dam

numbers.
All that. have been found thus far
are natives, and nearly all belong to
the four species that are found more
or less every year.
The Rocky Mountain locust that
worked such havoc in former years
has not been found or reported. The
two striped locust is by far the most
prevalent and has done most of the
damage.
It is impossible to foretell just what
the likelihood is of damage next year,
but unless active measures are taken
1t is but reasonable to suppose that
they will be much more numerous than
they are now for they are very prolific
and so far are practically free from
parasites.

until cold weather. The eggs are laid
almost anywhere except in heavy sod
or on freshly plowed land. The great
err numbers are laid in the stubble
fields, though road sides and other To-
cations having a firm soil are freely
selected Each female lays about one
hundred eggs, these being deposited in
nests or clusters of about thirty. The
only practical way of combating the
Insects is to destroy the eggs In the
fall or very early spring. This is best
accomplished by blowing the land four
or five inches deep and dragging it
Immediately afterward. Where this is
not practical any treatment that will
break up the nests of eggs and expose
them to the air answers very we'll If
1t is effectively done. 1t has been found
that on soil not too hard a thorough
dragging in the fall destroys most of
the eggs. Along roadsides the road
grader or scraper should be used.
The principal source of danger lies
In fields left for summer fallew that
are not plowed until after the eggs
hatch in the spring. Where grasshop-
pers are numerous 1t is dangerous to
leave such fields. They should be
plowed early or at least thoroughly
dragged or better, disced

North Dakota has a law compelling
land owners to pillow infested fields

commissioners, Those knowing of srleh

should notify the county commissions
ers in time to leave no chance for the
insects to hatch and continue their
work of destruction.

Economy That Does Not Eeonon1ize.
The agricultural college will open its
doors Sept. 20 for the registration of
students for the ensuing college year.
The poor crops realized by farmers
the present season should encourage
rather than discourage increased at
tendance ont the part OF their chill
dren. The need of education that in
future will more largely forestalI crop
failures was never more apparent. The
sacritce may be more severely felt
because OF diminished income. but to
practice economy by keeping the young
people out of college is not fair to
them. Most of these young people are
destined to become farmers and
farmers wives in a very few years.
More and more, IL becomes apparent.
even to the casual observer. that edu-
cation and training of the sort the
agricultural college offers Is extreme
ly helpful, If not essential, to the pro
ductien Of bountiful crops. This is
especially true during seasons when
the weather conditions are somewhat
unfavorable, What a knowledge of
physiology and materia medica is to
the physician or what Blackstone is
to the lawyer, scientific knowledge
or the soil and its management is TO
the farmer
The age or exploitation is rapidly
passing. The blind forces of nature
are unreliable. While the soil was new
and Destructive fungi unfelt. the Ae-
ment OF chance could be trified with
without such serious consequences as
now Henceforth, TO be prosperous
the farmer must be skillful in handling
machinery and able, intelligently, to
direct the forces of nature.
The children OF today will be COM
Hnissioned to produce the wealth OF to-
nrorrow and hence should be educated
for their work. They are entitled to
this education for their own sake
though no interest will suffer mora If
they are not educated, than that of
the state whose natural resources will
be entrusted to their keeping.
In an agricultural state, the educa-
tfln that bears upon agriculture as a
! vocation, or that prepares men and
women for positions that give to- az
riculture direction and potency. can
be stinted only at the expense OF the
general welfare, the present and future
material well-being OF all the people
Is lodged in the soil Shall this, the
peoples heritage be committed to UNI
skilled, trained hands? Shall that
which is vital to the peoples prosper
lty, and hence 10 their comfort and
happiness receive less attention than
what concerns individuals alone? And
can you, as parents Of these children,
cheerfully start them in life with less
than the best possible educational
equipment for their future activities?
! am aware Of the sacrifice this ar
gument may involve, having spent my
own life and reared family under
similar circumstances, but is 1t fair
to over economize when 1t means the
lifelong disadvantage OF the children?
There can be but one answer.
This is an age Of education, of
specialization, OF practical training.
Those to whom the country's natural
resources are entrusted should, above
all others, be broadly and literally
educated for their work.
