MINNESOTA WILL HARVEST
ONLY half. CROP CORN

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept 6-Half
crop of corn is, all that Minnesota
may expect this year. This is the
gist of numerous reports received to-
day from all parts Of the state by the
extension division of the college Of
agriculture: Moreover, to get even
half crop; the weather will have to
be of the best for three weeks. AS
the normal time for heavy frosts is
about September 20, the case looks
bad 1t looks bad, in fact, both for
this year and for the next, inasmuch
as this years crop must give the
supply of seed corn for next springs
planting.
The average of the reports received
run about thus:
about so per cent of the corn
planted will mature if; the weather
is favorable for from two to three
weeks.
1.-THE prospects for securing seed
corn are fair, with good weather.
every little old corn suitable for
seed next year is available.
1.-THE varieties showing up best are
Minnesota Nos. 13 and 23."
In view of this situation the ex-
tension division of the college of
agriculture is making a great effort to
bring to the attention of all farmers
the necessity of gathering every pos
sible ear of minnesota grown seed
corn, as seed corn from farther south
is not safe for planting in Minnesota
