just as well have been fed on North
Dakota corn, had 1t only been planted
Then again it takes time to go into
stock, and If 1t should be necessary to
sell out now it will set the farmer
back great deal in his farming and
in the most valuable part of It, and
all due to the fact that he did not
plant some corn.
ut has been demonstrated that corn
can be grown all over the state. Last
year 5000 school children grew corn
and good corn at that, corn that made
the Indiana and Illinois corn growers
take notice at the Omaha corn show.
The ears were not as large, but they
were wonderfully well matured and
then again the stalks grow smaller
here and the ground being richer,
more stalks can be grown per hill, and
this corn was grown clear up to the
Canadian border and matured. Corn
is also being grown on each of the
twenty-siX demonstration farms, and
is doing well there, so there is no
longer any excuse for saying that corn
will not grow in this state. The 9TH
er day the writer saw a field near
Bathgate that had been planted the
middle of April and yet the stand was
about eighty per cent. Where else
could corn have gone through such
mixture Of weather as this had?
The corn can stand more cold and set
backs here than further south. Corn
that had been planted in the middle
Of May, however, was larger, and this
is really a good time to plant it. Ev-
cry farmer ought this year to take
note Of what can be done with corn
and secure some seed and cure it we'll
and try some next year. Then again,
corn has this advantage, that the Gull
tivation given 1t leaves the ground in
splendid shape for the following crop
so that when corn is planted it prac-
tically assures two good crops, one
of corn and one of grain the follow
ing year.
This year 5000 school children are
growing corn in the state, so that It
should not be hard for any one to get
within reach Of some growing corn
and& see how nicely 1t is doing this
year even in sections where every
thing else is gone Corn is king even
in North Dakota and the farmers
ought to give this wonderful plant a
chance to do some work for them"

MONTHLY REPORT OF
G. A. r. AND w. r. c.

To The Forum: Monthly report of
the department press correspondent for
North Dakota of the G. A. r. and w.
r. c.:
Your flag! and my flag!
And oh, how much it holds,
Your land and my land,
Secure within its folds.
There never mas been a country
worthy of the name, on this footstool
we call the earth that has not inspired
her sons with patriotic love, and her
daughters with modest womanliness.
"Breathes there the man with soul Sd
dead,
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own, my native land"
These are the words Of a worthy citi
zen of little country (Little, but, Oh
myD but they voice the feeling of all
countries.
So 1t is typical of high level OF
patriotism when, in this great country
We see SO much kindness and respect
shown to the rapidly thinning remnant
of those who offered the last full
measure of devotion" as Abraham Lin
coin puts it, in the early sixties.
Booker washington says Abraham
Lincoln is his literary patron saint
Nine too.
Ny motto is his. "As God gave me tc
see the. right, / viii do it" Can you
find a better? Or a more modest?
North Dakota and her citizens are
patriotic in high degree.
Witness the beautiful celebration Of
the nations Sabbath Memorial day, In
every corner where G. A. r. man lies
at rest. Soon that will be every towr
and hamlet In our fair state.
But there are old soldiers who are
not lined up in the Grand Army of the
Republic, at least in the North Dakota
contingent.
Possibly many Of them are keeping
UP their connection in posts in the old
er states.
We would respectfully suggest thai

home here too.
Any comrade, or relief corps woman,
| reading this report in our statewide
paper, The Forum, is cordially re-
quested to write a postal TO me, and
they will be put in touch with post and
corps.
We will be only too pleased to or
ganiZe near you.
Let me hear from you.
1t is pleasant to see John r. Rey-
nolds corps with it's noble effort at
the state fair. These women are a
fine band, who always make good.
Willis A. German Post of Grand
Forks had a remarkable record Lass
year, in that it did not lose man. But
we missed Mrs. Church from the an
| nual convention, and we were sorry
to hear it was sickness in her home
that hindered.
We rejoiced to see Mrs. Ella
Sprague doing her share as we'll as Of
old. We cannot do without the old
friends, however many new ones we
make.
We have not had any recent news
from Appomatox corps in Larimore
but we know nothing is neglected there.
We hope to see something of Abra-
ham Lincoln corps in Minot during
August. There is big band of loyal
women there.
Lisbon lies very near our heart be-
cause Of old friends and comrades,
whose last resting place is near the
home, and widows and dependent ones
in other states take solid comfort in
knowing that the state will always keep
up the care of low, green mounds there
Shall we do less in any of our little
towns Nay, verify.
Every time I come along the Great
Northern west Of Rugby l look out at
Gods acre there and see several flags
flying close to Mother Earth. For
there lies Comrade Irwin, commander
of Jerry Rusk post; Comrade Nathan
lei Vaughan, and other old friends.
There are two old soldiers in Rugby
who never forget, and the citizens sup
port them ably.
But l wish that loyal women who
have been members of the w. r. @.
would gather together in a pickett
corps and help the comrades to hold
their own.
News from Dickinson tells OF COM
rades and w. r. e. at Oakdale who de-
sire to organize as of old. Who next?
In faith and hope.
