LARGER YIELD NEEDED
Profits in Corn Raising Deter
mined by Increased Yield Per

The dearth of good seed corn
this spring taught corn growers
in this state lesson that they
iare not liable to forget soon.
The same conditions might pre-
vail again. The selection of seed
.corn this fall. then. should not
be postponed. 1t may mean a
big profit next year, where, per
haps, a loss mi ght otherwise be
incurred.
AT the present price, it can
be said that every bushel raised
in excess of the average yield of
corn in this state represents a
profit. 1t does not take much
more time, attention or expense
to raise 40, 80 or 6O-bushel
crop of corn than it does a 30
bushel one, and, after the cost
of production has been paid,
the profits increase in direct
proportion to the increase in
yield.
When you have spent the time
and money needed to raise an av=
erage corn crop. a Little extra
effort will greatly increase yields
and profits. There are certain
linked or overhead charges that
must be paid OH every acre of
corn raised. The Minnesota Ex
pertinent Station found that the
flve-year average cost Of grow
ing an acre of corn on the
series of selected Minnesota
farms was $13.75. This in
cludes charges for seed. shell
ing. blowing, dragging, planting,
cultivating. Mlsking, cost of ma
cbinery. rent of land and general
expenses. Most of these items
are little or no greater for a
6O-bushel crop than for one
of only 20 bushels. The extra
effort may make the difference
between just breaking even and
making good profit.
How is this higher yield to
be obtained? There are several
factors which must be taken in
to consideration. OF course the
termination test and cultivation
should be carefully attended to.
A very important factor. how
ever, lis the stand of corn OBJ
tanned. TO obtain good stand
IT is necessary that good seed be
planetd. Reliable seed can be
most easily and surely obtained
by careful field selection in the
fall. The good corn grower
must pay primary attention to
mis- seed, and this attention can
best be given in the fall. when
the corn still stands in the
field. This is one of the extra
efforts that pay such big divi=
dends.

WILL MAKE INSPECTION
U. S. Engineer to Visit Lake
Traverse and Decide on I'M
provements to Be Made There.

while in st. Paul, last
Week, said \. W.. LiAdquist,
OF Diamond, - called at the o:s-
-ce OF the United tates engi-
neer to obtain information as TO
the uses to be made of the
$1,000 appropriation made by the
last congress for improvements
ON Lake Traverse. This APP
preparation was the result of a
bull introduced by Congressman
Burke, and the engineer informed
me that the money is already
available. He assured me. also,
that he would personally visit
Lake Traverse during the early
part of October, for the pur-
pose OF inspecting the waterway
and deciding upon what was nee.
essary to be done to improve
the same. There is no doubt
but that Lake Traverse will be
one OF the principal deep water
ways OF this part of the country,
some dav. and while the present
appropriation is small, it will
be sufficient to start the nee
'essary work, and, as Mr.. Burke
is heartily in favor of the pro-
posed Improvement in the Lake
Traverse waterway, there should
and undoubtedly will be no diff
Guilty in securing his cooperation
IN the matter of an additional ap-
preparation by the next congress.

that body, as he is so richly en-
titled to do

neers office, | also discussed

establishment of a waterway

on the survey this fall, and the
Canadian government has already
ordered a survey from the i'm

or not it would be possible to be-
gin the survey at Lake Traverse.
and was told that it was impos-
slble at this time, as the appro=
prlation includes only the ter.
rltory lying between Wahpeton
and the Canadian boundary.
The engineer was of the opinion.
however, that there would be
little difti"nl1y in getting bill
through congress extending the
survey to Lake Traverse, and
suggested that the people Of
Roberts county get busy with our
representatives in congress and
see that such a bill is introduced
at the next session. And in my
opinion, this is what shcnld and
undoubtedly will be done, as
everyone who is familiar with
the proposition is ave TO the
advantages to be derived from
