CON- IOKENSCARD

OF SEED grain This year. the bulk
Of the seed grain will have to be
shipped in from other points, conse-
queatly there will be freight added to
the first cost; then the elevators will
probably charge from 10 to Is cents
above market price, and up to 35c
above market price on flax. Awful!
you say? Yes, but even the farmer
will do that when he has a chance
to sell seed grain to his neighbor
The rate of interest on seed grain
10 Per cent. Then there must be
added enough to the price of the
grain to cover the expense connect
ed with letting out seed grain, and
that will in all probability be at
least s cents per bushel. The COM
missioners will do all they can to get
the grain as cheap as possible, but
from present indications, it is safe
bet that It will be high enough.

seed grain is let out by counties, the
law 10 very plain on that. ss
1t provides (see Sec. II, Article
210, Session laws 1909, that the

that such tax shall be levied by the

they do not have a suitable room in

4 Few thoughts
for heFair1ner
By j. M. WILLIAMSON,
Arkansas Agricultural Experiment
Station.

The silo is nearly always associated |
with the dairy, but today, before the
dairy men in Arkansas see the ne
eessity of silos in connection with
their business, the feeder begins to
build them and finds that they lessen
the cost of producing beef.
There is, near Fayetteville, under
construction the only concrete block
.silo in the state SO far as we know,
but many are building silos of other
material. Today the dairy man with
out a silo is back number and is
not getting his highest profits.
How About Your Feed for Winter?
Have you ever stopped to think
If there are other crops that would
supply more feed than you are get
ting from your present crops?
Every farm in the state should be
an experimental farm. The writer
was, only few days ago, on noun
tain farm 2,400 feet above sea level
80 miles from railroad where tho
| farmer and his son were finding out
things by trying them. They were
not satisfied, when they moved into
| this locality, with the statement from
| the natives that red clover will not
grow. They are growing it now.
They were not satisfied with weeds
in the waste places. They have Ber-
muda grass growing now. They also
found by trying that they could grow
certain meadow crops that yielded
from one to two and half tons
per acre. The writer also found COW
peas waist high where crop Of oats
had been cut in the spring. These
men are making success with soy
beans as we'll.
If the farmer would look around
and find several crops adapted to his
land, instead of confirming himself to
one or two the feed question would
soon solve itself.
i How About Your Seed Corn?
Have you selected your seed corn
. for another crop? Now is the time
, to do SO il you would have better
! corn, because you can tell what kind
J of stalk your good earns come from,
! which would be impossible to do II
Q you waited and selected from the crib
next spring. Another thing in this
n connection to remember is that the
e biggest ear Is not always the best
! Four points must be taken into
It consideration in the selection of corn.
d. First. will 1t yield? Second, will
- it ripen? Third, will it mature!
&c Fourth. does it show improvement?
u II you have an ear that fills ali
ls the requiremtnts from these four
Mt standpoints, you may consider that
rd you have good ear for planting.
rs After you have selected the seed
re corn do not forget to test each ca,
nc and see II it will terminate. This
GU can. and should wait until spring
20 There are several methods of testins
me seed corn, but the simplest is to TAX,
am small box, fill with sand and plan
ter six to ten seed from each ear in
me row across the box Dampen an,
serr keep in warm place anu in few
IS days you can tell wrich ears will b.
gas the best from the termination stant
cts point.
css Prof. P G. Holden, the Iowa cor
INT expert, says: IF the corn fields :
Dor the United States We're mine and
I s could give but one order. that ords
Ind would be to test six kernels of CO,
uid from every ear OF seed intended t,
the planting"
