STUDENTS WRITE CORN ESSAYS

How / Made My Crop Of Corn" is
the subject of essays written by stu
dents of the rural schools of Brookings
county and which We're entered for
prizes in the industrial contest OF the
Boys and Girls Club Of the county
held In Brookings recently. Harold
Slocum of Brookings was awarded
first prize on his essay and Ray Lynch
OF Sterling Al was awarded second
prize. The first prize essay follows:
/ enrolled as a club member because
I was interested in farming, and want
ed TO win some prizes.
The object of the club is to interest
boys in farming, and to get them to try
to raise more corn at a larger yield.
l tested the corn by the ear taking
four kernels of corn from each ear,
and using the rag doll method.
I hauled ten loads of manure on the
acre. II was her plowed eight inches
deep and well narrowed two times.
The corn was then planted. 1t vas
drilled. The hills were about ten
inches apart in the row and the rows
were three feet four inches apart. 1t
was narrowed several times more
then.

SECURE THE CLEANEST MILK
Barns Should Be Kept UnpoIIuted anG
Yards Free From Manure and
Litter Of All Kinds.

These rules are given for the clean.
est milk obtainable with only little
more than ordinary care: Barns should
be kept clean and well ventilated, the
yards free from manure and litter and
drained so that no water will stand
there. Before milking, the cows
should be brushed around the TANKS
and udder with a stiff brush; this
should be followed with a damp cloth
which will remove many of the dust
particles and so dampen the others
that they will stick to the COW during
the process of milking. The mixer
should keep his hands dry during the
milking. Milking with damp hands
is a filthy process and Is apt to cause
the teats of a GOV to chafe and be-
come a source of annoyance. The milk
should be removed from the barn or
milking pen to a milk house just as
oon as possible after 1t is drawn. The
milk should be separated and the
ear cooled as oon al possible after
milking.

to the dairyman's advantage to belong
to this class. The proposition con.
fronting the dairyman today Is not
primarily a matter Of location, soil
or climate; 1t Is he, himself, that
stands in the way Of his own progress.
Few people realize what intelligence,
care and study, what patience, obser.
walton and experience are needed to
make a good dairyman, to interpret
to the mind the language of the COW
In such a manner as to understand
her every need and be able TO properly
supply it. The inherent and fatal
weakness of many people is that they
wholly ignore the really important
and decisive factor Of success in all
fields Of human activity, viz, trained
and intelligent judgment, based on
sound theory and practice. The
and cure for the hackwardness of the
dairyman Is in his mind, and in the
solution Of his problems chief promi.
nence must be given to the human fac
tor. The trouble with many dairymen
Is that they think they know, which Is
the worst possible kind Of ignorance.
THE first step of knowledge Is to
know that we are ignorant" Our

past two years. Three or the ten ear

test. Two of the contests have been
held on the fair grounds, in the chill

house.

corn.

try to hoe and cultivate it more.
Harold Slocum.
Ray Lynch, winner of the second
prize, tells in the following essay how
he raised his crop:
| enrolled as a club member because
| saw some boys at the contest that
had good corn and I thought perhaps
| could do nearly as well as they, and
so tried the first time but failed and
have tried the second time and the
frost killed the stalks and the corn
was not much good.
/ tested my corr with a tester and
then planted it. 1t tested good and
grew good. The soil was quite fertile.
1t was SUBSIDIZED and cultivated good.
The corn should be planted early
and not very deep. The ground must
be pulverized and dragged good. After
the corr rows are several inches tall
you should cultivate it and be careful
not to cover it over, because if it is
covered it will turn yellow and die.
The plant is a tender thing and is
very easy to kill.
The land should be fortified with
manure to keep ii rich so that you will
obtain a good stand. l cultivated my
plat four times and the field was quite
clean. / cultivated it with a surface
cultivator.
People should harvest their corn
when it is ripe. They should cut it
with a corr binder and shock it to
keep it from spelling. If you want to
market it you will have to husk 1t and
put it in a building where it is dry.
The best way to store corn in the
winter is to put it in a dry place and
let a little air get to it so as to keep
it from spelling.
The use of corn is to feed to the
hogs, cattle, horses, and the cornstalks
are fed to COWS. The cows a get
the ears and the stalks better than
horses, so they feed them to cows
mostly.
The Corn Club has been interesting
to me and given me instruction, it has
made my health better. and has made
me a little profit. Ray Lynch.
The contest for yielding the most
corn per acre resulted as follows:
Largest yield per acre.....73 bu. 3Ofb
First prize. :. $1,000, Harold Slocum,

II CROW'S-NEST


In the Health Talks" column of a
prominent daily paper the question
wrong to take a light lunch before re-
tiring?" The doctor gave the follow
ing facetious swe For thin,
anemic, nervous, frail, sickly or deli
cate people a light lunch before retir-
ing is just what the doctor orders. For
stout, high living, lazy, ~dyspeptic, bill
ious or overfed persons the rule is to
retire without that indulgence" II
ought to be easy enough TO classify
ones self according to this doctors
answer to the question asked. But, is
the rule observed by very many people
in the early period of their lives? The
eating of four or FIVE meals or lunches
a day seems to be the common custom
in certain circles and soOn becomes a
fixed habit, whether good or bad re-
mains TO be seen. 1t may be, however.
that those we see eating midnight
lunches do not get around in time for
breakfast and have TO have their three
meals a day, so are neither frail nor
delicate.
A statistician in one Of Jul eastern
cities recently published the results
of some OF mis- Investigations on the
question of thrift. He says: out Of
every 100 average healthy men at
twenty-five, ut sixty-fve SO will be
dead, / will be rich, 4 will be wealthy,
s will be supporting themselves at
work and 81 will be dependent upon
friends. relatives or charity" OF
course these figures are meant for an
average the country over and may not
apply to western conditions at the
present time, but it may be true OF
even the West in another forty years.
The young mar at twenty-five, who has
not made a start at saving some of his
earnings may well consider the above
figures and try to profit by them.
