the state has been divided into a
northern and southern section, each
one competing by itself.

A committee consisting Of ]. H.

is in perfectly good working order
but for which Minot had no further
use. This has been taken to Surrey
and will be found invaluable in case

EXCELLENT RESULTS AN
NOUNCED BY THE NORTH DA-
KOTA BETTER FARMING ASSO.
CIATION-WARD COUNTY BOY
GETS THIRD PRIZE.

One hundred and six bushels of ma
ture corn was produced on measured
acre by Henry Granlund in Ransom
county. Ninety-six bushels was pro-
duced on an acre by Clemence Schatz
in McHenry county. The two boys
win first place in the Better Farming
association Acre Yield Corn contest
for 1913, the first in the southern dis
trict, and the latter in the northern
district. In addition, Henry Gran.
lund wins the sweepstakes prize of
$1OO in gold awarded to the boy grow
ing the highest yield of mature corn
on one acre in North Dakota.
The corn was produced by ordinary
field methods. The use of CONNER
cial fertilizers or systems Of planting
and cultivation not applicable to farm
conditions were not allowed. The corn
yields were carefully weighed by rep
resentatives of the Better Farming as
sociation and the yield as given is the
the quantity of mature corn raised on
one acre, allowing seventy-six pounds
to the bushel. :.
The contest this year has been very
successful. There were large num-
ber of entries from all section of the
state. All the boys grew at least one
acre of corn, and many Of them grew
from ten to twenty acres, the acre
judged representing the best one out
Of their field. A great advance is
shown as compared with the results
secured last year. In the 1912 contest
the largest yield was produced in
Ransom county and totAlled only sew
enty-one bushels to the acre. The
yield this year is thirty five bushels
greater. The highest yield in the

sixty EIGHT bushels, or twenty-eight
bushels less than that obtained this
year. Entries were made from all
sections Of the state, and it is inter-
esting to note the uniform high yields
obtained by the contestants. The first
fifty contestants in the southern sec
tion of the state produced an average
of 1913 bushels of mature corn to the
acre. The average of all contestants
in the finals in the southern section of
the state showed yield of forty-two
bushels to the acre. The first forty
contestants in the northern section of
the state produced over forty bushels
to the acre. While the average yield
for the thirty winners in this contest
in both sections of the state was sixty
seven bushels of mature corn to the
acre.
This contest shows Enthusiastically
conditions and with the soil that we
have in the various sections of the
state of North Dakota. One feature
of the contest is especially noticeable,
that is, that all of the winners pro-
duced their corn from home grown
seed. The greater number of them
followed methods as advocated by the
better farming association. All of
them adopted methods which might be
used on a larger field area. When it
is considered that the average yield
of the state for this year is probably
twenty-seven bushels, and is generally
less, the yields as obtained by the boys
who have entered this contest are lit
tie less than remarkable. Prizes will
be awarded at the various corn shows
held at later dates.

Uses Of Quicksilver

Quicksilver is used mainly, according
to the United States Geological Sur
yey. in the manufacture Of illuminate
for explosive caps, of drugs, Of electric
lighting and scientific apparatus. ana
in the recovery of the precious metals,
especially of gold, by amalgamaeon.
An increasing demand has been report
ed in manufactures of electric appll-
ances. An interesting and increasing
use in Scotland is the floating OF the
lights of lighthouses upon body Oh
quicksilver. The metal is not con-
sumed, of course. and the loss in use IS
insignificant. Concerning this Consul
Fleming writes as follows:
Quantities of quicksilver used IN
Edinburgh are for resilvering mirrors
and for floating the revolving lights
in lighthouses. The commissioners OF
northern lighthouses, Edinburgh. Nave
in their charge 80 light houses on the
coast of Scotland. Up to the year 1901
the revolving lights were borne or
rollers. The float system has beer
gradually intfbduced, however. and Is
now in operation at 20 coast stations
and will be used at all others. Ih'
lighting machinery rests'on pontooI
which runs on quicksilver in a groove
The quantity Of mercury required TO
this purpose in a lighthouse is iron
seven to eight TASKS of rs pounds each
AS the waste is trifling, the total pres
ent demand for this purpose is small.
