WEATHER BUREAU
PREDICTS FROST
st9 4

Washington, Sept. /. - Warm
weather in the east and southwest
and cool wave in the northwest were
predicted tonight by the weather
bureau experts for the first part Of
the coming week.
"It is likely" the weekly bulletin
said, that this cool change will adj
vance eastward and overspread tho
plains, states and the upper Missis-
sippt valley by Wednesday or Thurs
day. Local frosts will occur by the
middle of the week in the far north
west"
"A disturbance that is now over the
northern Rocky mountain region will
move eastward, attended by local
showers with thunderstorms, and cross
the great central valleys Tuesday.
Otherwise the week will be one OF
generally fair weather. There are no
indications at the present time Sof a
disturbance in the West Indies"

Save SEED
CORN SAYS
COOPER
Better Farming Expert Urges
the Farmers to Act
.-..-- j. ~.
Seed Selection Should Be Made
in September
North Dakota Should Raise
All Its Seed Corn

"seed corn should be selected in all
sections Of the state during the first
part of September" said Thomas
Cooper Of the Better Farming asso-
ciation yesterday. with the excellent
this year, the North Dakota farmer
should be able to secure his own seed.
Often it is considered that the selec-
tion of seed can be delayed until later
in the fall when work is not SO press
Ing.
"The Better Farming association
believes that the selection of seed corn
is a matter of first Importance and
should be taken care of before hard
frosts occur. 1t is not much of task
to select bushel or two bushels of
seed corn This is sufficient to plant
from twelve to sixteen acres, depend :
ing upon the variety, and the loss that
may occur through poor termination
of the ears.
Seed corn should be selected in the
field. Ears that are mature, well To-
Gated on the stalk and Of good form
should be picked during the first part
Of September, carefully strung and
hung up in some airy, well ventilated
place where the moisture will be
arawn off and where they will not be
exposed to freezing temperature. Corn
Is comparatively such new crop in
the state that few recognize its possi-
bilities and the economic Importance
OF the selection OF seed.
Until recently, practically all seed
has been purchased outside Of the
state. We can just as well produce
this seed within the state Approx
mateIy $4,000 bushels of corn will be
required to sow next years crop. This
will have value Of about 100000.
This is sum of money that is worth
saving and that should remain in the
state, even IL we did not take into
consideration the importance of homo
grown seed corn from the standpoint
OF maturity of the crop this coming

Weather conditions conspired to
make Labor day in Fargo one Of the
most ideal and beautiful that has
dawned in this city in many years
Perhaps the programme the laboring
men arranged today has not been so
3 picious nor noteworthy as in previ+
Gus years when more celebrated speak
ers have been heard but a better time
has never been enjoyed.
Lat Dor day which originated in this
country in 1882, was first observed in
North Dakota twenty-four years ago.
The original idea of setting apart a.
day for the laboring man was native
with the Knights of Labor of New
York. Gotham organization which
was prominent three decades ago.
The first state to take UP the move

spread to all parts of the United States

Superintendent Tayler Issues
Statement .
Amount Of State Aid for Each
Small This Year
Year 1914 Will See Much
Larger Distribution

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. Ito The
Forum: I enclose herewith a state
ment showing the number Of schools
classified for this year under the law
providing for state aid for graded, con-
solidated and rural schools. should
be pleased to have you give this pub
licity in the columns of your paper in
order that the people Of the state may
be generally informed as to the num-
Der Of schools that have met the REL
quirements for the year just ended.
The amount apporticned to each school
in the different classes is comparative
ly small, owing to the fact that the
apportionment this year is made pur-
suant to the provisions Of chapter 30
of the session laws Of 1911. That law
provided only $4,000 to be distributed
among graded schools; $4,000 among
the rural schools, and $4,000 to consoli-
dated schools. The amount being so
small the individual schools this year
receive only nominal amount of aid.
The appropriation for this purpose,
made by the 1913 session OF the legis-
lature is very much greater, but will
not be available prior to June 80. 1914.
Schools that are classified next year
will receive much larger amounts than,
those classified this year.
