MAKE SELECTION
FOR SEED CORN

Now is the time to select your
corn seed for next years crop.
Walk through your corn field
and pick ears from the stalks
that yielded well, that had no
suckers, that had ears at a de-
srable height and that matured
early.
Seed corn should be gathered
early, dried promptly and kept
at a fairly uniform temperature.
flyou have to buy your seed
get it from some one in your
neighborhood who has made, good
in. raising corn. Do not buy
from a stranger.
Corn is fast becoming one Of
the most important crops in
North Dakota farming. The
of this progress depends
very largely ON where the seed
is grown year after year, pro-

Annual Corn Show
Better Than Ever
Besides a Good Exhibit There
Will Be Many Street Attrac-
Mons and Band Concerts

The farmers of Western Nc
Lean county are going to prove
that they can grow corn. They
will show that it pays to grow
ccrn if you want to grow wheat.
In fact they are going to have
a show all their own in a new
corn show building, at which
will be seen the best products
from their farms, at Garrison,
September 25th and 26.
The second annual corn show
on the above dates will be a
hummer. Nearly 100000 in priz-
es will be given away. Over
600 school children will exhibit
their work at the show. A cow
testing contest will be held under
the direction Of the State Dairy
Department.. The 800 Lime"
potato growers will have pO~'
tato show. There will be bag
street parade, special trains,
plenty Of sports, amusements
and a good time for all. No ad-
mission charges, no entry fee,
free street attractions, band con-
certs, lectures and ball games.
ALL who saw the show last
year said it was great and this
one will be still greater.

gress will be slow; when home
grown seed is used, the improve
ment made each year is saved,
so that next years crop can be
made that much better.
This adoption of seed corn to
our soil and climatic conditions
must be made right in the To-
cality. Better seed corn can be
secured from your own corn
field, if well cared for, than can
be brought in from distance.
Gathering seed corn is not as
big job as it may seem when
one considers that one bushel CT
seed corn will plant six to eight
acres. A good way is to secure
grain sack tie strap to- one
corner of the bottom and the
other to a corner Of the top.
The sack can be carried with the
strap over the shoulder. This
leaves both hands free and it is
the easiest way of carrying the
corn. In this way, several BUSH
els of seed corn can be gathered
in a day. Every bushel of home
grown seed corn that is select
ed and we'll cured is boost up

far more subject to fluctuation
and risk; The state is all the
time finding ways in which to
ask for more money. New Of
fices are created, salaries are
increased, bu- the tax burden is
the last thing actually to change.
The people do not kick" enough
abedt this. The public is always
supposed to be ready and able
to pay, but the public is made
up of the people, and they have
to work for their money. 1t is
probable that our taxes could
be greatly reduced and we could
get along just as we'll without
thousands of dollars expenditure
in what is supposed to be the
states interest. For instance,
we would do just as we'll with
a half or a fourth of the legis-
lative force that we now have,
and have also to hire clerks for.
We could save million dollars
q year and would never know
where the service was any the
worse. Let the. voters think this
over before the election.-Steele

There are many who are ready
to quit at this frightful appari
tion of opposition from the north,
crying, 1T has been fumbled-
all is lost. Woe unto us that
we should have thought to slip
anything over in a rush ~
Bosh, frunes The ve"y i-dee-ar !!
The sooner the people OF the
north forget that county seat
]argon and remember that coun-
ty division is real necessity,
will come before long anyway
and might as we'll be taken into
consideration while there is a
chance of getting an equitable
divusaon-as soon as, Max, Garri-
son, and the other northern
towns forget anything but the
lasting enmity to the scheme
which the south part has al
ways had-the better.
The editorial in The Washburn
Leader placed that paper with
The Independent on this issue.
We are for division, but we also
are in favor Of dividing it fairly,
and if there can be meeting Of
all parts of the county to de-
eide where the line shall be
drawn, no delay ought to be
made in holding that meeting.
Anyone who has studied the
question at all, sounded the senti-
ment of the people of the ex-
tremes in the county, knows
that the northern part
has never had adequate repre-
sentaticn and wants to get away
from Washburn. Everyone also
knows that the west part, in
Guiding the reservation has cher
ished plans Of making itself into
a separate county, and that if
this were done, it would COM
plicate another division which
would be even more necessary
to the convenience Of the people.
So the time seems to be now.
The Garrison business men are
prime movers in getting the cam
paign started, but their idea is
not the selfish one attributed to
them by Max, but to divide the
county, and let the fight over
the county seat take care of it.
self two years from now. Max
has no cause to complain, or
her location in the proposed
Robinson county, it is better than
that of Garrison. She, however,
wishes a cinch, and is willing to
sacrifice county division on the
altsr of pure selfishness.
We would like to ask a ques-
tion or so. Do the towns in the
northern part regard this agita-
ton as a joke! Do they not
realize that signing and filing
the petition simply brings the
matter to a vote, and what could
be fairer? Let the people kill
the issue in the fall if they want
to, but it seems to this paper
hardly fair to prevent it's being
brought to a vote. Of course,
the petition circulated by Gar
rison is fully signed and will
be filed and this means it will
get a place on the ballot, but
with a half dozen other petitions
all calling for different divisions,
it amounts to the same thing.
The issue is confused and it
/ might as we'll never have been
started.
/ The Max people have been
| working the northeastern part
thoroughly, and their petition
will very likely be filed at the
next meeting Of the commission
ers, which takes place very soon.
+, Meantime, if Washburn- can get
out another petition dividing
the county in a till more fan
tastic way, we will at least have
something else to think about
