on or makes it more severe; yet they

How to Increase Corn Yield.

An acre of corn planted in check
rows, hills three feet and six inches
apart, has 1856 hills; and with three
stalks to the hill, contains 1868
stalks. II one stalk in each hill will
produce a ten-ounce ear, the yield
will be 31.7 bushels. In an address
before the Corn and Clover Conven-
trion in February, A. f. Chamberlain
of the Great Northern called atten-
ton to the fact that the average yield
for ten years in Minnesota has been
but 29.4 bushels. The average yield
Of corn per acre in Minnesota for
1909 was 34.8 bushels. From this it
is easily seen that on the average
two stalks OF of each hill do not ear
at all, or are missing. What is i'm
mensely more important than large
ears in field of corn is that every
stalk produce a good eight or ten
ounce ear. Three eight ounce ears
per hill will practically triple the
present average yield. If care is used
in selecting only choice seed ears,
long strides will be made in increas-
ing corn yields.

A Good Time to Build.

During the past decade, certain
kinds Of lumber has advanced con-
siderably, particularly the maple. The
price we ask for high grade maple
flooring, etc, is still within the reach
of all but as the various hard woods
are growing scarcer every year, the
price on that quality of lumber is
sure to advance steadily. Five years
hence, the home you build now will be
worth more than its present cost.
Build yourself home don't pay
rent any longer than you have to.
Let us show you how this can be done
at saving to you. We have experts
who will be only too glad to give you
their time in making estimates, sug-
gestions, etc. Remember, you pay
no more for Quality Goods bought
here than you would for other kinds.
