AGRICULTURAL COM
MISSIONER WRITES
JOURNAL READERS
SAVE SEED FROM LAST YEARS
CROP is EXPERTS
MESSAGE
WEATHER HAS RETARDED CROP
Corn That Should Be In Tassel Is
Now Only Two Or Three
Feet High
WEATHER HAS RETARDED CROP

H. M. Cottrel, Agricultural Com
missioner for the Rock Island Lines
desires us to call the timely atten-
ton of the journals readers to the
great danger that we all know may
be ahead and sends the following
warning and advice that we hope all
will heed
.sSave Seed Corn. At Once From
Last Years Crop" Most of the corn
through the entire northern belt
is, July 10th. 1915 at least a
month behind in its growth
Tens of thousands of acres of
corn that should be in tassel are
only from two to three feet high.
With the rest of the season fay-
orable, this corn will produce large
crops for feed. There is consider
able danger that the corn will not
reach that full maturity which is
nee :ssary for stTor examinations
in seed.
Every Corn grower should at
once select sufficient seed for next
years planting from corn raised in
1914,
Through large part of the north
ern corn. belt the corn raised in
1914 had unusually strong vitality
in termination, many districts re-
porting the highest vitality of any
crop in the past four years.
1t will therefore be Safe to select
such corn at once and put it in
special storage to be used if needed
for seed in 1916.
Corn of the 1914 crop that has
been kept in seed rooms, or that
has been protected from storms in
cribs where it has been held under
good ventilation, should be sorted
over and ears of the best type Sc
lected for seed.
This seed should be hung up OF
be stored in racks.
The work can be done the first
rainy day when it is too wet fol
field work. There will then be nc
extra expense.
The old corn so selected may not
be needed but it's selection insures
strong seed for next spring
If there is any question about the
termination of the corn six kernels
should be taken from each ear and
planted out doors in the ground
making cheaply a termination tesr
under field conditions.
A farmer who has choice bret
corn will find it profitable to Sc
lect 100 or more bushels, it is like
ly to bring good price next spring

Timely WARNING
ABOUT SEED CORN

some manner got tangled UP in the
Jens n rig so that they were thrown
down and could not get up with
out the aid of their masters help
and the other men who were about
there. Fortunately no one was hurt
just delayed from their work.
Later the same day, as Peter Pc
tersen and Albert. Larsen were COM
ing into town, and when they were
crossing the railroad track the neck
yoke broke letting the poll of the
buggy down. The horses made for
the door of Weddum and Norre Gar
age, but just as they approached
the door they changed their minds
turning so quickly that the buggy
was upset and throwing Mrs. Peter
sen out. Mrs. Larsen had jumped
out meantime.
1t was indeed a close call and the
ladies cons. der themselves very
lucky in escaping without getting
mark.
But more serious runaway was
experienced by Mr. and Mrs. Muddy
Hansen as they where returning to
/ th=ir home east of town Friday e.
vening after having attended Chau-
tauqua. 1t seems as though the
team they were driving became
/ frightened of a wagon that was left
!, on the road, and ran up bank, up
setting the buggy in such a manner
{ that Mrs Hansen's one leg was bro
ken below the knee. 1t was a very
/. bad break and the doctors at first
thought it was necessary to ampu-
|. tate it. However the doctors decid-
ed not to do it, and the last reports
fare that Mrs. Hansen is resting
ia little easier. And it is the wish
!!of her many friends that she may
liz It along in good manner without
1 any future trouble. A trained nurse
j from Des Moinss is at the Hansen
! homa caring for her. Mr. Hansen
/! and the baby who is little over a
year old did not get hurt in the
'least which is very fortunate.
