CORN CLUB WORK
WORTH MILLIONS
South Entering New Era Of Asricul.
tural Production, Declares
n. G. Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special.) .)-That the
Boys Corn Club movement means
great deal more to the South than
the average citizen has ever dreamed,
is the conclusion presented in an in
teresting interview by H. G. Hastings
of Atlanta, chairman of the agricul-
tural committee Of the Atlanta Cham.
Der of Commerce and manager Of the
Georgia State Corn Show. which is
presented annually in the state capi-
tol building.
1--WE are facing" says Mr.. Hastings,
"an era Of agricultural production such
as the world has never before wit.
messed Every year since the first
corn club was organized, the move.
ment has seen more than remarkable
growth. One years record has be-
come Insignificant when that of the
next year doubled 1t; and by that,
mean that many more boys have gone
into the work and nave vastly in
creased results not only by their own
efforts, but through inspiration to fa-
thers, brothers and neighbors until
millions Of dollars have already been
added to corn production in the South.
"And yet this is but forecast of
what Is to come. There are now be-
ing organized as au outgrowth or the
corn club work, Three and Four-Crop
Clubs. The boys will plant oats and
cowpeas on their former cora acre.
thus diversifying their crops and re.
newing the soil, while a new acre will
be taken for corn cultivation. In some
sections cotton has been added to the
list. on 81 third acre. and the -FOUR.
Crop Club boys have already gone to
work
Another outgrowth of the corn club
is the Pig Club. Southern boys have
learned the truth Of the story of the
unsuccessful farmer who sent to o
more prosperous neighbor to buy
shoat. The neighbor sold him the
shoat. but with 1t presented him

ed too high or too low. and whether
it is vigorous or spindling and has a
good leaf development. In other words.
1t is Of paramount importance that the
ear have plenty Of feed, light and
range upon which to draw for It's sup
ply OF plant food. When we find a
stalk that under average conditions
bears an ear Of exceptional quality
above the average In the field we snap
it and carry it to the corn house and
hang it up to dry SO thoroughly that
the first hard freeze will not injure its
terminating qualities.
Practical experiments as we'll as the
growers shows that an ear taken from
the stalk as soon as 1t is glazed or
even before 1t shows as great vigor
after planting as do ears that are left
on the stalk until the entire crop Is
fit to husk. Such experiments and
testimony seem to justify us in taking
advantage of the early maturing ears
and those that are less mature. II they
possess many OF the moro desirable
characteristics. Some authorities
seem to favor marking the desirable
ears and leaving them on the stalk.
Which is right am not able to affirm,

effects from selecting my seed corn

.PROGRESSIVES PLAN
INVASION OF SLOPE

Mandan, n. D., Jan. 31.-The pro-
gressive republicans are planning an
invasion of the slope countries by
selecting Mandan as the headquarters
for the primary campaign. The cleo
ton Of Attorney LANCER as secretary
issues an aggressive flight between
now and the June primaries.
1t is asserted that by transferring
the headquarters here q raid can be
made on the stalWart strOngholds west
paratively little Roadway has been
made in any county west Of the river.
There has always been some latent
sentiment for the progressive cause
but 1t has not been aroused. In the
last campaign Governor Hanna car
ried the entire slope country and his
lead in Morton county alone, insured
his election. 1t is claimed that with
an aggressive campaign for Burdick
IN the western counties it will not be
impossible for Burdick to win.
About the only opposition to Bur
dick among the progressiVes is among
certain leaders who are still indignant
at the WillistOn man for what they
call his lack of courage in becoming
u gu]bernatorial candidate two years
ago. They insist had he entered the
primary contest at that time he could
have been nominated over Hanna, VIII
won, and assert his candidacy at this
time is hopeless in view of the
customary practice of the voters in
reWard1ng a state official who has
made good with a second term.
Secretary LANCER is getting in touch
with the work he is expected to do
and a great deal of activity will be in
evidence aroun the headquarters in
a short time. 1t is understood the
league will take an active part in
W. of the denomination of all three
of the present congressman. In this
district the fight against Norton will
be bitter as Simpson of Dickinson,
who secured moro first choice votes
two years ago than Norton, will again
be a candidate.

HOLSTEINS SHOW
GREATER PROFITS
NATIVE STOCK AS COMPARED
WITH BREED GRADES SHOW
THE DIFFERENCE.

Valley City, N. D., Jan. 31.-That
the strictly dairy COW is far superior
to natice stock as a money maker
from a dairy standpoint has been
clearly proven from results already
obtained by the Leal-W Wimbledon Test
ing association.
Through the efforts OF the Better
Farming association a car load of
nigh grade Holstein heifers were plac-
ed in he vicinity Of Leal and Wimble-
don. These were held to freshen in
the fall, the time that all mich COWS
should freshen if more than ordinary
results are desired.
At present these are in milk and
from those in the testing association
one Is able to get a direct comparison
with all native stock in some cases
owned by the party and receiving
Identical care.
The comparison is made between
these Holstein grades and between
native. heifers Of same age and which
nave treshened this fall.

number OF the COW, the second row of
figures the pounds of butter fat pro-
duced IN a month and the third row
