parts Of the corn belt tor seed corn,
for seed corn from such areas does not
mature early enough to escape frosts
in Minnesota.
What is to be done, then?
Andrew Boss, A. D. Wilson, c. P.
Bull and others at the Minnesota Col
lege of Agriculture, who have been
studying the situation, suggest this:
Search out the most mature acres
of corn on your farm.
Pick supply Of seed corn from
these acres the moment the corn is ma
ture enough, picking from the stanu-
ing stalks in the field.
Corn is mature enough for seed when
it has reached the dent stage, though
it is better tn let it rinen beyond -
stage if possible. But ii it has reach
ell this stage. and frost threatens.
TAKE NO CHANCES BUT PICK
SEED CORN.
If YOU have no corn far enough
along for seed, and some other farmer
in the vicinity has, buy the privilege
Of picking seed corn in his field at a
fair prize per bushel. Tt will cost less
to 10 that than to buy seed corn-of
doubtful worth-next spring.
Pick Minnesota No. II and Mime
sofa % if possible. Reports show that
these have met the trying conditions
this wear in the main better than 9TH
err corns.
Immediately after picking your seed
corn, hang it up to cure in place
where every ear can get plenty Of
ventilation and be wholly safe from
being frosted.
EVERYBODY. the FARMER, business
man, school or other professional man,
AMI EVERY KIND OF ORGANIZA-
from farmers clubs to the com

make the matter of getting a sufficient
supply Of seed corn for next year
business through the remaining weeks
of September.

CARELESS IN SPRAYING Celery
CARELESS METHODS ALLOW COP
PER TO ACCUMULATE AND
RENDERS IT UNFIT FOR FOOD

An lnVeslgatlOn OF number OF
complaints received by the department
of agriculture indicates that many
Florida celery growers have been care
less in spraying their celery and that,
as result, quantities of copper in ex-
cess of what is believed necessary or
healthful have been found on the eel
cry when ready for consumption. The
use Of salts Of copper in food products
has been officially pronounced injur-
ious to health, and in previous sea-
sons the department has warned grow
ers of the necessity of their complying
with this decision.
The copper is deposited on the eel.
cry in the form of dried Bordeau
mixture Qime and copper sulphate),
which is used extensively to prevent
the destruction of the crop by blight.
Unless the plants are sprayed at GER
tain periods of growth with this mix
ture it has been found impossible to
bring them to market in good condi-
ton. With proper care in spraying,
however, there is no reason why any
undue quantity of copper should be de-
posted upon the stalks. The excessive
amounts Of copper sometimes found on
the stalks Of celery are due to faulty
methods of spraying, 2 frequent cause
being the use Of knapsack instead of
power outfits. The knapsack sprayers
do not operate at sufficiently high
pressure to make fine spray or mist;
hence, by their use the Bordeaux mix
ture reaches the plants in a number of
fine streams, which fail to cover the
leaves as does the mist or fog but run
down between the stalks. The mixture
thus accumulates at the base of the
plants, giving blue-green appearance
to the base Of the celery.
With an efficient apparatus working
under high pressure-150 pounds or
more-this trouble does not exist. The
spraying should be stopped as soon as
the leaves are thoroughly covered with
the mist or fog. Thus there is no op-
portunity for the mixture to run down
the stalks. AS for the leaves, when
there is an appreciate amount Of cop
per salts upon them, they should not
be eaten under any Circumstances.
That growers have not been careful
enough in the use Of their spraying
apparatus is indicated by the fact that
the department has found as much as
34.9 parts Of copper per million on
washed inner stalks. In other cases
the proportion has run as high as
ia, IS, and 11.3 parts per million. On
the other hand, in many Of the speci-
mems examined it was found that cop
per was not present in undue amounts, !
which emphasizes the point that care
in spraying is all that is necessary.
AS matter of fact, if punches of |
celery are broken up and the stalks !
thoroughly scrubbed before being eat
en-, practically all the copper from the |
Bordeaux mixture will be eliminated !
and there will be no danger of bad ef
fects to the consumer. It is recon- |
mended, therefore, that this practice |
be followed wherever there is any rea-

THE 1916 CORN IN DANGER
PICK SEED CORN THIS FALL OR
1916 CROP WILL BE
SMALL,

Grave danger to the 1916 corn crop
lies in the condition of corn in Mime
sofa this fall.
Next years corp will depend in a
large measure On the supply of good
Minnesota-grown seed corn obtainable
this fall, and good Minnesota-grown
seed corn is going to be mighty he~1
to get. From careful reports received
from various part Of the state, is
certain that general heavy frost be-
fore September 20 would easily DESTROY
the seed value of most Of Minnesota s
corn. Even if frost holds off until af-
ter that date, the quality Of corn that
Will be available for seed will be
small, for reports indicate that at best
the state will not "et more than a
