THE coRN-GRow1Na CONTEST
Value of the Grand Effort Minnesota
Boys are Making

Few people realize the value and ex.
tent of the boys and girls Corn
Growing Contest, being conducted by
the Agricultural Extension Division
this year. This contest was organized
>{1) to encourage the boys to learn the
best methods of corn culture, (2) to
show how many bushels Of corn it is
possible to raise in every district in
Minnesota, and (3) to show that our
soils can be made to produce more corn
than they have been producing. The
boys who enter the contest agree to
raise one acre of corn themselves, do
ing all the work. They agree to study
and practice the very best methods of
corn-culture, and to keep a record of
all operations: There is great educa-
tional value in this.
At the same time, each boy will be
doing a service for his community. His
.neighbors, when they learn that he is
trying to set record for corn-produc-
ton, will be interested in the outcome.
They will be present, the day the yield
is to be checked up by the committee
in charge, to see how the plot turns
out. Each contestant will thus become

real demonstration, for his district. #
he secures q high yield, others will
copy his methods of comprehension,
and he will stimulate an interest in
corn growing. :.
: In recognition of the service rendered
to his community and to the state,
each boy who completes in the contest
will be awarded q gold plated badge
emitting him to membership in the
State Junior Crop Improvement Club.
Boys securing the highest yields will
he awarded. cash prizes. The grand
champion corn: grower ct the State win
receive a years scholarship, valued at
5000, at the School Of Agriculture. The
prizes are worthy Of great effort.
Already nearly 1000 boys and girls
have enrolled for the contest; So. coun.
ties Of the state being represented.
One thousand. acres, planted by boys
in corn demonstration plots, will exert
q tremendous influence for more corn
in the state. Everyone should boost
for this contest. Give the boys chance
to show what they can do. It will soon
be too late to enter. Boys should
send their names to the Extension
Division, St. Paul, for further par
ticulars, at once.J. b. Lamson.

NORTHWESTERN. EXPERIMENT
FARM BULLETIN.

Grand Rapids, Minn.-The theee
most important crops in Northeastern
Minnesota are clover, fodder corn and
potatoes. The seed for each of these
crops this spring is scarce and high
priced, but no farmer should change
his plan for seeding them on account
of the high price Of seed. 81 invested
in seed for any of these crops, may be
made to return $40 and more in the
crop.
Glover seeded on the Experiment
Farm in 1911 cost SLIGO per acre for
seed. In October this clover seeded in
the spring with a grain crop, was
pastured with dairy. cows. It provided
pasture at the rate Of one acre for 80
cows for one day without injury to
the next years hay crop. 1t produced
twenty-five pounds of butter for each
acre pastured, worth $3.50. This alone,
was more than three times the value
Of the clover seed, not counting the
1912 hay crop.
Fodder corn on the Experiment Farm
in 1911 yielded from ten to fifteen tons
Of green fodder per acre. One bushel
Of seed was used for seed for three
acres. This spring Minnesota,~g grown
seed corn. is very high priced, but
varieties grown farther, south may be
used for fodder Corn, and this seed may
be purchased from the large seed houses
at from $3.50 to $3.50 per bushe1:
The dairy herd on the Experiment
Farm, consisting of 81 cows, averaged
in 1911 1856 pounds of milk per cow,
and 253 pounds of butter per cow.
These cows are only representative of
such cows as the average farmer may
have. They were fed largely on clover
and fodder corn, most of the fodder
corn in the form of ensilage. The
value Of the butter at the local market
price was $77.90 per cow. The cost of
feed was $31.24 per cow, leaving a
profit above the cost Of feed of $46.65.
Dairying can be made a very profitable
business for the farmers of Northern
Minnesota who will regularly grow the
two above mentioned crops-clover and
fodder corn.
Potatoes on the Experiment Farm
in 1911 yielded $50 bushels per acre
Carmen variety. 500 bushels have been
sold on the local market at IS cents
per bushel. 1000 bushels are still or
hand which will probably bring ont
dollar per bushel. The cost of growing
the potato crop, including seed, labo]
and rent of land, was about $25 pei
|acre. Potatoes are the cash crop fo1
the farmers Of Northern Minnesota
Farmers should not rush in for a big
crop this spring, because they are hig1
priced, but should start out to annually
grow as many acres as can be give1
proper attention and care. The potat,
market is moving north, and the farm
er who will grow potatoes regularly
will profit Observation-Disclosures
