Corn Growing Experience.
(Staff correspondence.

Emmett, Jan. 9.--There was shown
at the Movable Agricultural school at
Emmett this week an ear of corn, or
the Imperial Yellow Dent variety,
grown at Emmett by J. G. Dewey, that
was pronounced by r. b. Coglan OF
Boise, the state seed commissioner, TO
be equal to the corn that won the
championship prize at the lnterna-
tional Dry Farming congress held last
fall at Iethbridse, Canada. When II
is considered that Is states participant
ed in the great congress at Lethbr1dge,
ii is seen that this ear OF corn grown
by MIR. Dewey is one of remarkably
fine size, color and quality.
Mr. Deweys experience IN corn
growing here is ample evidence that
corn can and is being profitably grown
at Emmett MR. Dewey last year grew
two acres Of Imperial yellow Dent
corn that yielded strong so bushels per
acre. He now has 100 bushels of seed
corn in his bin that was pronounced
Nv Mr.. Coslan to be the finest corn ne

ripate his corn at all But he thor
oughlv cultivates his land. He checks
his corn rows when planting, and
planis his corn in rows 81 feet apart
each way. He plants from three y
five seed to the hin.
Mr.. Dewey propagated his Imperial
yellow Dent corn from Il kernels he
got from d seed house IN Minnesota
four years ago. He planted these l.
kernels III his garden. He exercises
great care in the selection Of the ears

STOCKMEN OF THE
SOUTHWEST MEET

Phoenix, Ariz, Jan. s.-The present
condition and future outlook of the
stock raising industry, and incidentally
some Of the principal reasons for the
existing high price of meats, are to be
discussed here next week at a notable
conference of farmers and cattle rails
ers representing the west and south
west. The gathering is to be held I'M
der the auspices OF the American Ma
tional Livestock association. In the Of
fetal call for the conference, the assoc
citation points to the situation as being
azure because of the fact that there
is less livestock per capita In the coun
try than ever before, and that, on ac-
count of the limited supply of sucN
stock. there viii undoubtedly be an at
tempt by the next congress to place all
the products OF the farmer and stock
man on the free list. Action will be
urged by the conference for securing
the enactment Of national laws that
will give the use of the grazing lands
Of the public domain to cattle l'aiscrs
on equitable terms.

Potatoes need lots OF air.
1.-THE potato thrives best in cool,
moist climate.
1T is best to plant potatoes at such
a time that the tubers begin to form
after the hottest weather is over.
TOO much care cannot be taken in
the selection of your seed potatoes
1T is well for any one district to
grow enough potatoes of one type so
that full carload Of potatoes OF this
type can be shipped from this one dis
trict. Last year Twin Falls got a
single order for 40 carloads of one
variety Of potatoes. and Twin Falls
filled the order
Emmett now is on the Oregon
Short Line, and the Q. S. l.. prefers
the white potato for Its dining car
service. And the o. S. L. buys white
potatoes in carload lots.
1.-THE sma:.er size potatoes sell best
for seed. Mr.. Hollar of Emmett, two
miles east of town, has a fine potato
storage cellar which he described.
"Mr. Grub tells potato growers to
try to irrigate the roots of their po-
tatoes and therefor approves the
trenches in the potato rows.
THE Pacific coast points prefer the
russell type of potatoes, whereas. the
eastern markets prefer the white po-
tatoes. We should grow most of our
potatoes for the eastern market
"Mr, Grub says Idaho potato
growers should buy their seed potatoes
in Idaho, because Idaho grown pota-
toes are freer from disease than out
side grown potatoes.

I'VE are starting terminating test
station for corn in Boise" said Mr..
Coglan. Before seed corn is sown we
should know it's terminating power, so
that we may know how much corn to
plant per acre. In these tests Of corn,
oats or wheat, the seed should germi-
nate within six days. That which
does not terminate within six days Is
not apt to terminate in the field. All
seed should be tested for terminating
strength before 1t is planted-corn,
oats. wheat. alfalfa. clover. etc.
Corn should be fully matured in
the field, before being selected for
seed and testing purposes.
Corn for seed purposes should be
selected from stalks where there are
two ears on the stalk.
. 1T is always better to select your
seed corn from the stalk, and your
seed potatoes from the hill in the
field, rather than from the bin. In
the matter Of seed potatoes. select
them from the hill in which the pota-
