SAVE NORTH DAKOTA
SEED CORN IS SLOGAN

County Agricultural Agent Ed
gar Olsen of Grand Forks County
has started campaign urging
farmers to save North Dakota
Seed Corn.
I'm year like this he says.
I'VE cannot follow the ordinary
rules entirely in selecting seed
corn. Corn this year, if not ma
ture, should be left as long as
possible in the fields, at least I'M
til the leaves are killed by frost.
A light frost that will kill the
leaves will not hurt the germ to
any great extent. After growth
has been stopped the corn should
be picked and placed in drying
racks, or hung up as soon as pos
sible after picking.
Oct Good kernels
According to the Agronomy
department Of the North Dakota
Agricultural College, corn so i'm
mature that it is in the dough
stage, if properly dried and taken
care Of, will grow t give better
results, t|lat4seed~ shipped in from
the south.

when they may be set out.

when tney may be SET out. =
Squash should be carefully
handled in hauling, and placed
one layer deep ON wooden racks
in a warm, well-ventilated stor-
age house.
What are the most common
wild flowers in your vicinity that
may be used in decorative work?
Many should be in bloom even
now.
The giant daisy, Pyrethrum ul-
iginosum, has been an excellent
Towering plant this fall. 1t pro-
duces larger flowers if not allow
ed to grow too thick.
AS soon as the frost cuts the
foliage on the dahlia remove all
but five or six inches, lift the
plant out of the earth and let it
dry in the sun for an hour or so,
then put in a cool dry storage eel
lar. Te tubers must not be dry
enough to shrivel or moist en-
ough to grow before spring.
There is still time to plant PHI
lox, iris and peonies.
So far is it is possible it is we'll
to prepare flowerbeds for next
years use now.
Carrots and beets keep better
if little dry sand is put over
them. This prevents drying out.
A cool cellar is the best place
for cabbages. Hang them up or
wrap them in paper and lay on
shelves.
See that the sweet corn saved
for next years planting is stored
in well-aired place where it will
not freeze.
The branches of currant bus
hes should be drawn close togeth
er and tied to prevent the snow
from breaking them down.
While many raspberries will
come through the winter without
protection it is always safer to
lay them down and cover them
with earth.
AS soon as the frost kills the
foliage of grape vines they may
be pruned back and laid on the
ground ready to be covered with
earth. They should be covered be
fore the ground freezes.
Remove all trash and rubbish
from the garden. If convenient, it
is we'll to pillow OF spade the land
that will be used for garden next
year. This will help to get rid of
many insects and weeds.-LeRoy
Cady, associate horticulturist.

Some varieties of the autumn
bearing strawberry have done very
we'll this fall on account of the
moisture and favorable weather.

COWS NEED MORE
THAN PASTURE NOW

The dairy farmer who keeps
his cows too long on pasture in
the fall suffers a loss. Pasturing
too long causes decreae in milk
production, and recovery is not
secured by supplemental feeding
later. Supplemental feeding-with
silage, if available-should begin
at once. This will keep COWS up TO
their best in milk yield not only
for the immediate future but
through the winter.
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1915-10-07

dry free circulation should be
provided. Windows and doors
should be open during the day and
on warm nights. The temperature
should at all times, however, be
above freezing.
Don't Store In Bin
Corn should not be cured in a
bin where small grain is stored,
as when this sweats the corn will
absorb the moisture given out.
Likewise it should not be stored
in a barn where live stock is kept.
Outside Of this any building OF
place will do"
This information applies to all
Of North Dakota.

Sat. Ernest r. Edwards was IN,
fortunate enough to have another acci-I
dent in which an automobile figured.
TIE car which he drives for the Berkley
grocery in Lyons stopped in front OF
the Werlich market, there being
two other persons with Mr.. Edwards.
When ready to leave one of the thre G
attempted to crank the car and it be-
gan to move forward on account of be-
ing in gear or on account of the vi
bration thro wing on the power. Before
the car could be stopped it was almost
upon team of horses owned by H. W.
Konkel of the town of Greenfield which
were but few feet ahead of the car
when it was cranked. The horses EVIL
IDENTIFY thought the car would run into
them for they broke loose, turned
around and dashed north along the
street. AS they passed the A. M. Rod
ems fruit store, the horse used by this
firm became excited and joined in the
mad run. When the Konkel team came
to the big snow bank at the Daniel
Ruggles law office one of the animals
ran inc the snow and this tripped tie
other which fell and brought them to a
sudden stop. An automobile belonging
to c. c. Cowles was but ten feet ahead
and would have been in the wreck had
the horses not been stopped by the
snow. The Rodems khorse stopped at
thu Luce livery barn without any par
ticular damage, but the harness of the
Konkel team was more or less torn.
T lie horses were taken to the Graves &
Fl 1ghes livery to recover from their
fri ght. On the run down the street q

k,l vehicle and this frightened the

What is claimed as the worlds record
for length and.weight of train hauled
has been made by the Matt H.

Gently placed in service on the Erie
railroad and described in Popular Me-
chanics. This locomotive made run of
twenty three miles at an average
speed of fourteen miles an hour, haul
ing 2O5 loaded 50-ton gondola cars and
a dynamometer car. The total weight
of the train, exclusive of the locomo-
tive was II, 912 tons while the train
was over mile and half long. The
average drawbar pull for the run was
about 100, 900 pounds, and in order to
avoid pulling the train in two it was
necessary to use pusher engines in
starting. Telephones were used for
communicating between the front and
rear ends Of the train.

Why are we here so happy and merry
On the 18th day of this February?
Because twas then, some years ago,
The stork bro't Payne to the werld
you know.
He came wee baby so tiny and frail
But look at him now and watch him
sail;
1t was insSumpter, some miles away,
He opened his eyes and saw first light
OF. day.
You see.by birth he's son of the soil,
Because it was there he began to toll;
He never was slow or an easy go,
But always willing to hoe hiss row.
And always listening and watching
they say,
To see that the dollars came his way.
Not few would do but quite heap
So he decided to keep some sheep
Not the common kind but the ones
imported
The pure breds and choicest quoted,
He did big business, had quite q
reputation,
Made money and built him a lovely
mansion.
I tell you what, twas busy hive,
Himself and wife and children five,
So he kept on going for quite while.
Till he decided to retire and live in style
Nowyou'll find him on Second street
AS happy and jolly as any you meet
He's busy too as he can be
Tendin' sick neighbors and wild 1ers,
you see.
We're glad he is here and we want him
to stay
Just where he is for many day
His birthday comes with men of state
He stands today with Lincoln the great,
Three cheers for them both hurra
hurra!
And may Payne have many returns of
the Gay.
