Fargo.-In order to obtain cattle for
North Dakota and to take advantage
OF the lower prices prevailing in the
corn belt states, where the drouth
has cut down the supply Of feed, the
North Dakota Better Farming Asso-
citation has dispatched representa-
tive to Kansas City with instructions
to buy at least. 1000 head of CATTLE
While attempts will be made by the
Better Farming Association to secure
a good quality of dairy cattle when
possible, the greater quantity bought
will be Of the beef cattle type. Many
North Dakota farmers who are not
ready to embark In the dairy industry
will raise beef cattle, and it is espe.
cially to supply this demand that ac-
tion has been taken by the associa-
ton.
While the corn crop was injured
greatly by the drouth in the south CEN
trail states, North Dakota is about to
harvest the largest and finest crop of
corn in its history. The greater part
OF the crop was planted with North
Dakota-grown seed and has, therefore,
matured better than in previous
years.
This will afford plenty of fodder in
all parts of the state and the cattle
industry will receive a big impetus
this fall and winter, according to the
better farming experts

Grand Forks.-When his companion,

shot down and killed in the streets of

Grand Forks narrowly escaped like

when the roads were blocked. A mes
sage scribbled on the back of an en-

Seed Corn "Dont's.

!. Don't fail to select your seed be-
fore frost.
2. Don't go to the low places or
old stack bottoms for your seed ears,
but go to the part of the field where
the corn has had an average oppor-
tunity to develop.
3. Don't be afraid to select too
much; it is always good feed if nothing
else.
4. Don't pile your seed corn in
some unventilated place. "Glve it
air.
5. Don't throw seed corn on top of
the grain in the bin; the heating of the
grain will ruin it.
6. Don't neglect tying up your seed
on string where it can thoroughly
dry.
7. Don't forget that mice eat seed
corn as we'll as any other kind of
corn. Put it away.
8. Don't leave seed corn in a
freezing temperature until it is thor.
oughly dry.

Home Grown Seed Corn
Gives Best Results.

In last weeks edition, among other
things, was discussed the ACCESSIBILITY
of growing mature corn The produc
tion of mature corn is dependent upon
the use of good seed corn. All exper.
ience has indicated that the best seed
corn for this county is grown and Sc.
lected at home.
Go into part of the field where the
corn has been raised underage condi-
tions. There select the best ears for
seed. Select corn from standing stalks
that are of medium height, we'll braced
at the bottom, and carrying an aver
age number of leaves. Exceedingly
large stalks with an exceptionally
heavy foliage, are almost invariably
late in maturing. Ears selected for
seed should have shank OF medium
size an length. Avoid short, heavy
shanks, as these are hard to shuck
also aAoid long, lean shanks, as these
are apt to break, shutting OFF the nu-
triton from che stalk or loose the ear
while swinging to and fro in the wind.
The ear should hang between two
and four feet from the ground, and
should drop forward. These qualities
simplify husking. The chief qualif-
cation for good seed ear is ability
to reproduce itself. This ability can,
however, be demonstrated only by ac-
tual test In the ordinary selection of
seed we must be satisfied with evil
dence of such power.
Select ears that are of medium size,
showing evidence of early maturity.
Maturity should never be sacrificed
for any other point. The ears should
be somewhat cylindrical in shape, and
start to taper about three inches from
the tip end. Ears that carry their Cir
cumference entirely to the tip are often
short and late maturing. 1t is also
desirable to select ears with straight
rows and with kernels of a uniform
size and color. as 1t is impossible for
a planter to drop seed which is not
uniformly even in size.
An early maturing ear has husks
that are somewhat browner and dryer
than the average in the field. II is
usually produced less than four feet
from the ground, is seldom excessive
in size, and often quite small in cir
conference. The kernels are genel-
ally somewhat wide and shallow, sell
dom have much dent, but are usually
quite smooth over the crown. Often
one will find small portion of the
cob exposed at the tip end of an ear
of early maturity.
In selecting seed corn it is veil fo,
the beginner to- tie u good ear, one
that comes nearest to his ideal, to his
suspenders or carry it in his pocket,
where it will be handy. 1t this ear is
compared with each ear selected, it
seldom fails to secure an evenness in
color, size, maturity, dent, etc.
This is the second Of three articles
on seed corn The last will appear in
our next issue.-ED.

The next thing Illinois needs is a
law prohibiting railroads from issu-
ing passes to anybody
Giving passes is not only bad pub
lie policy, but it's bad business pol
icy. It's a genteel form of bribery,
and the railroads themselves would
be better off if the pass system were
abolished.
When passes are given, the people
who pay their way are taxed to pay
for all free transportation. They pay
not only for themselves, but for the
spongers as well?
The sooner railroads go on the
theory of equal rights for all and
special privileges to none, the better
off they'll be.
