STAGGERING STATISTICS

Grand Forks, Sept. Some in
teresting statistics concerning
North Dakota's hundred mollion
bushel wheat crop have been COL
lected in Grand Forks. Some of
the figures are startling. For
instance, to haul this crop in
thousand bushel cars there would
be required a solid train Of 500
miles long, train so long that
while the engine was whistleing
for Chicago, the caboose would be
just about Devils Lake. All of
the North Dakota wheat crop,
with the exception of small
fraction is hauled in cars of ap-
prOximately that size. These
cars are not hauled at one time,
or in one train, out the hauling
of them gives employment to an
army Of men. The wheat raised
in North Dakota this year would
be enough to provide each man,
woman and child in Belgium with
800 pounds of flour, far more
than enough to make bread for all
Belgium for year.

mARkETINo PoTAroEs

Grand Forks, Sept. I'm the
opinion Of an experienced potatoe
raiser who has for several years
furnished information to the
Grand Forks Bureau. it is only
when the farmer has exceptional
facilities for storing potatoes that
it pays him to hold them over
winter. A small percentage Of
defective tubers in pile may
communicate rot to many bushels
If pits are not we'll protected there
is loss from frost and if too much
covering is given, overheating
will result. There is almost al
ways demand for shipping at mod
crate price in the fall, while this
is not always true in the spring.
II must be remembered that the
potato crop is perishable, and can
not be carried over the year like
wheat. The combustion of this
grower is that large quantities Of
potatoes should never be car
ried over unless the farm is eq-
tipped with well-protected, WELL
ventilated and conveniently ar
ranged cellars, and that even then
one is taking chances by hold
ing until spring. The central
warehouse, such as is not provid-
ed quite commonly. aids in the
solution of the problem.

DAIRY AND BANK DEPOSITS

Grand Fork, Sept. 7-Said a
Morton County man in a discus
sion Of dairying at Grand Forks
recently:
'The year of 1910 was a pref
ty hard year in a good many sec
tions Of North Dakota. The old
song How Dry | am was pecu-
liarly appropriate that year. What
rain did fall seemed to fall at the
wrong time and many of the crops
failed. We were about as dry
in Morton County as elsewhere,
but while it was necessary for the
banks in a good many counties to
obtain money from out side in
order to carry their customers
over, it was not necessary to bring
a dollar Of outside money into
Morton County. On the contrary.
our farmers continued to deposit
money in their local banks all
that year. !, 1t was the dairy COW
that did it. We have been dairy

TloWefS Can De secured from
bulbs in the early spring. Gro
cuses, hyacinths and tulips are
the first to bloom. These bulbs
do we'll on most soils that are rich

bulbs is about the first of October

MONEY IN PICKING
OUT BREEDERS NOW
Now is the Best Time to Select
Foundation for Next Years
Flock.

Money is to be made by select
ton at this time of foundation
poultry stock for next year, says
N. E. Chapman, of the Agriculture
al Extension Division, University
of Minnesota. Success with
poultry depends upon breeders
and this is the time when breeders
should be selected.
Mr.. Chapman lays down several
by practical poultrymen. The
rules that have been worked out
are as follows:
Breeders should be mature
vigorous. healthy, good layers,
and as good specimens of their
breed as can be selected.
Two-year-old hens should be
used rather than pullets.
Hens that are often off feed
dumpish subject to colds, or have
been through some infectious dis
ease should not be used as breed
ers, but hens that are alert, act
i've, happy and good feeders.
Breeders should have all the
marks of high producers: Short
strong beak; rather narrow head;
big blight eyes; soft prominent
comb, ear lobes, and wattles of
bright color; medium neck with
full hackle; V-shaped body from
top, side, and rear; long broad
back; deep body; close feathers;
tail carried rather high; with legs
rather short and Widespread Civ
ing large space between the pelvic
bones. Hens that are not often
broody. and that moult latest in
season are the best layers, and
in yellow leg vaities, those that
lose the color from their shanks
One should have supply OF
leg bands and mark thd most
promising Of his flock from time
to time and then he should keeL
selecting until the choicest ones
are known and banded. These
mated with the male birds from
high-producing mothers of some
standard breed, will result in j
profitable flock for city lot OF
farm.

Auto thieves broke the lock on
N: J. Jereski's private garage at
Lidgerwood Friday night and
stole his Studebaker car. The
car was not missed until Monday
morning, giving the thieves two
full days in which to make their
getaway. The uwner offers a
reward of 500 for the apprehen-
sion of the thieves, but the long
time that elapsed before the rob-
berry was discovered gives the
robbers a big advantage.

CHANGE IS MADE IN MAIL ZONE
Parcels Routed for More Than
Three Hundred Miles Take
Rate.

Wahpeton usuers of the Parcel
Post will be interested in a gen.
eral ruling of the postmaster gen.
eral, effective September, which
upsets the system which has been
used since the law went into eff
feet. AS a consequence, a corps
of mail experts in now working
out an intricate mathematical
problem. They are calculating
the mail distance between some
1900 postoffices and other points
which have been classed within
the first and second zones of these
postoffices under the parcel post
law.
Under the present plan, all
points within $50 miles of a given
postof1lce "as the crow flies" take
the first zone rate, regardless of
how far the mail must be carried
to reach such point. The new
ruling provides that where the
mail may be carried more than
5000 miles, it must take the third
rate zone.
The local division of the rail-
way mail service, which includes
the states of Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, and the Dakotas and North
ern Michigan, have 1900 post
Offices affected by the new order.
The experts, who have been
working out the problem, came
upon two postoffices in western,
North Dakota which are within a
few miles of each other, but the
mail route between them is $40
miles. The new order requires
that parcel post packages between
these points, take an increased
rate. In eastern Wisconsin there
are many pOstoffices which are
less than 800 miles from other
towns across the lake in Mich
igan, but mail between them has
to travel several hundred miles.
Rates will be increased between
such places.
As there are but a few days
in which ito arrange the new
rate scheme the mail experts have

SEED CORN TO COST s. 90
a. D. Wilson Of Agricultural Ex.
tension Division Makes This
Prediction

Seed corn is likely to be worth
$500 or more, per bushel next
spring says A. D. Wilson, Direct
Or of the Agricultural Extension
University of Minnesota.
This opinion is based upon the
fact that the corn crop in Minne-
sofa is considerably behind it's
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1915-09-09
normal stage Of development at

normal stage of development at
this time.
While the crop in Minnesota
has made rapid progress in the
last two weeks, it is far from
assured continues MIR. Wilson
However, with two OF three weeks
sof good weather in September,
there will be many fields of good
corn. Corn on well-drained
fields that have carefully culti-
waited and planted with varieties
suited to Minnesota conditions,
have a good chance of maturing,
and from such fields It is quite
probale that enough seed corn
may be gathered in every commit
unity to give ample supplies for
next years crop. Will it be
picked?
The first task of every Mime
sofa corn-grower should be to aid
in such picking, to pick enough
seed corn for next years plant
ing before heavy frost comes.
If seed corn cannot be picked
from ones own fields, the privi-
lege of picking at reasonable
rate per bushel can, no doubt, be
obtained in the community who
has more favorably situated corn
fields and hence has been able to
mature crop.
One can far better afford to pay
$500 a bushel for the privilege
of picking seed corn from a
neighbor's field than to depend on
getting corn through dealers next
spring, because by picking from
neighbours field, one is more near
ly certain to get seed corn adapt
ed to local conditions.
Farmers clubs can do nothing
better at this time to justify their
existence, than to make it their
September work to see that every
member has a supply of seed corn
for next year. The. seed corn
situation should be carefully con-
sidered at the next regular club
meeting, or at special meeting
if need be.
If possible, in each community
field that has matured corn
should be chosen and Seed Cora
Day set aside. On this day, all
members Of the local club should
go into their ouw fields, or into
the community field chosen and
select sufficient seed corn for
next year.
A picnic and general jollitlca-
ton may be made out of the oc-
casion, and with this boys and
girls seed-selection contest might
be carried out. In this way all
the club members might spend a
pleasant day together and each
go home with enough seed corn
for next years planting, which
compared with seed corn that can
he purchased will really be worth
ten or more dollars per bushel.
Storing seed corn is always i'm
portant. 1t is unusually import
ant this year, because any seed
corn picked this fall is likely to
contain very high percentage of
moisture when it is selected. 1t
is very important that this moist
ure be greatly reduced before
freezing weather.
The day seed corn is picked, it
should be hung up on corn hang
ers, by the double or single string
method, or in some rack that will
allow no two ears to touch and
will provide good ventilation be-
tween the ears. This should be
put in some dry building provid-
ed with good ventilation. Al
wood shed or attic with facilities
for letting the air circulate thru
is good place TO- curing corn.
Minnesota absolutely must have
a good supply of MINNESOTA
grown seed corn for 1916. 1t looks
now as if corn were going to be
