Pioneer To Furnish
Seed Corn Testers
Pioneer will Through North Dakota
Development League Furnish Seed
Corn Testers at Cost

The average ear of corn has 7OC
to 500 kernels. Each kernel plant
cd in hill should produce a corn
stalk; each stalk should produce
one ear of corn. 100 ears to a
bushel, would mean that each car
of corn should yield six or seven
bushels. The farmer loses So. SO to
$4.00 on each ear that will not grow.
There is a simple way to test seed
corn. Any man, woman or child
can make tests. The Pioneer will
supply corn testers at cost, which is
two cents each. Each tester is 9xl8
inches in size and has printed on it
full directions for making the test
and each one will test five ears of
corn. The tester not only gives full
printed directions but it also has IL
lustrations showing exactly how to
make the test and how good and
how bad grains will appear. Test
your seed corn. Send to us for
tester, remitting two cents each for
the number you can use. There
will be a short crop this year and
millions of dollars lost to the corn
belt farmers, if great care is not
taken in selecting and testing the
best matured corn for the seasons
planting.
The cold, wet season last year re-
tarded the growth Of corn. The crop
in many parts did not mature, con-
tains an excessive amount of water,
and is unfit for seed. Scarcity of
seed corn is the most serious in
many years. One poor seed means
700 or 800 weak. dead or moldy
kernels which, if planted, mean
missing hills and weak stalks pro-
ducing little or nothing. You can't
afford to take any chances. TEST.

There is such a scarcity of accom- modatiOrs that the overflow is occu- pying every available cabin tenthouse and private room.

No boom of like proportions has been seen in northern Arizona in wears. or since the palmy days of the White hills. and it seemingly has just begun.
 The Santa Fe railroad has promised additional passenger and mail service, the postoffice has been enlarged to three times it's former capacity, the power company's plans have been in creased three times since construction was begun two months ago. the mines are developed far beyond the expecta- tions of toe most optimistic booster and the rush has reached undreamed of proportions.
 Each week important news is spread of mine development. Last week the four feet of rich ore that the Georgia shaft passed through at a depth of 123 feet was announced, the widening of the higlgrade at the 175 of the Schenectady to two and one-half feet created wide attention. a big strike on the Rattlesnake group and the finding of 75 sacks of highgrade ore in an old wing on the Silver hill, to- gether with the oreshoot unblemshed from which this ore was taken by the old timers, constituted news features of the week.
 The Silver hill has put twelve more men at work A new gallows frame is being erected and machinery will be installed without delay. The recent sampling of the old workings gave encouraging results sufficient to war rant the building of d mill immedi ately to treat Silver hill ores. A custom department may be added
 Seventy three sacks of high grade ore was found in d caved-in wing. The sacks were badly routed, showing that they had perhaps been concealed bv miners or overlooked. The ore is extremely rich and will be run through the new mill as soon as the latter is completed. A brick will be made of the contents and will be ex- hibited in the offices of the company as evidence of the neglect of the prop erty suffered in years gone by
 The rich ore in the drift from the bottom of the 175 foot level in the Schenectady has taken on an addi- tional 6 inches If width, making a total of two and one-half feet of ore that wall pay well handsomely to ship.
