IS PLENTY OF
SEED CORN IN
THIS STATE
Better Farming Director
Says We Raise Enough
and Will Grow More.

Il don't believe that 1t will eve be
necessary again for North Dakota tc
so outside of the state to purchase
! seed corn" said Secretary Cooper OF
the North Dakota Better Farming as.
ISOLATION.
The reports that have been receiv-
ed at this office" he continued. dur.
ing the past week. practically assures
corn OF a high quality for SEED that is
already ripened. and is now ready fol
selecting for seed for the coming year
the seed is O being selected.
Il might say that all corn that was
planted early is now ready to have
the seed selecte d from it.
Selected 1000 Bushels.
w. A. Peck. who represents us ur
that way. is already selecting 1000
bushels and this will be kiln dried and
made ready for use neN planting time.
The reports that come from Adam.
and Barnes counties show that the
corn is practically rip g and that the
farmers and others are already select
ing their seed. The yield is very sat
i%sfactory." said Mr.. Cooper. "On a
small demonstrating plat we have Sc
cured seventy-tive bushels to the acre.
The question of the selection OF

the people Of the state and should be
attended to Just as soon as possible. l
am Of the opinion that the seed for
next year should not cost much out
side the state. for I am convinced that
there is plenty of good seeding corr
right in the state If il was attended to.
and it won't take very long until this
will be the most valuable. The state
should not find 1t necessary to buy a
single grain of cor for seeding pur-
poses if the work al properly looked
after. and l am nor than glad to be
able to say that very many people all
over the state are attending to this.
Putting up Seed.
Il am informed that farmers and
firms in the state in various parts are
putting up from 500 to 1000 bushels
Of seeding corn and l think they will
find that it will pay and pay big. The
past season has demonstrated one
thing. that corn that is planted early
enough even with such an undesirable
season as the past has been will ma
ture and produce good seed. The
warm sun of the past few days. not
counting today. of course. has ripened
the corn to a great extent. and has
made is possible for the seed to be
selected in some cases. while in 9TH
ers this work is going on.
Regarding Threshing.
"Threshing is going on in all dis
tricts represented by the Better Farm
ing association and from one-fourth
to one-third has been done. In the
southwestern part of the state thresh-
ing has just commenced. and the same
might be said of the northwestern
part. The Yields are all that was ex-
pected of them, and the state, to my
mind. has been greatly benefited by
providence and the hard work Of the
farmers themselves as we'll as BY the
efforts Il association has put forth
The Yields have been very generally
satisfactory and there is a feeling OF
pleasure among the farmers all over
the state"
