he would swim and pull the

is to do this, two things must
be urged in every community,
first, the fact that last year s.
abnormal season was universal
and that North Dakota raised a.
larger percentage Of her corn
crop than many Of the so called
corn states and that therefore no
one should be discouraged becaus
of last years experience, and
second, that because of last
years unsatisfactory conditions,
seed corn must he tested.
The corn situation is having
attention all over the country.
The governor Of Minnesota is
making a special appeal to Mime
sofa farmers to test seed corn
and increase their corn acreage.
All of the corn states are alive
and North. Dakota must not be
behind.
As "a single cropy and also in
rotations, com ranks above any
Of the small grain crops in the
profit per acre where the stover
and grain are both used, accord
ing to experiments at the North
Platte experiment. sub station.
That corn leaves the soil in a
condition which favors profit
from the succeeding crop adds
to it's value. Spring wheat ranks
next, to corn and gives the most,
profit when it, follows corn in a.
rotation.
Every agency interested in
farm work should constantly urg
the testing of seed corn as it is
POSSIBLE if seed all over the state
is thoroughly tested to add Il
million dollars to the value Of
the North Dakota corn crop.

Death of {. A. Blake.

Huron papers of last week report
the death Of c. A. Blake at his home
in that city. He was for many years
publisher of the Washington Times
and well known over the state, par
tlcularlv to eastern Hand county res
ldents. He was for several years
postmaster at Washington, then reg
lister of the u. S. land Office at
Huron, and afterwards engaged in
the abstract business with Mr.. James
Scott.
Cab" Blake, az his friends called
him, was a big, whole souled man
who was good to know. He was ac-
tive and aggressive in politics, and
carried a chip on his shoulder during
his long newspaper career. but under
this ''militaristic" exterior he wRs
as generous and loyal a friend as
his writer has known. ever ready tc
share with. or help a friend. He be.
longed to that class Of early day
history makers in this section of the
state whose ranks are now rapidly
thinning out
This "old one" knew Cab Blake as
he was, behind the scenes, where
men get close to each other, anG
where the bluff and shams of the
world are laid aside. He was a rea
man of his day and age.
His passage from this life gives &
moment of pause and thoughts OF
personal loss to those who knew HIN
best. His widow. three sons anc
one daughter survive him. AS pei
his own request. his remains were
taken to St. Paul for cremation.
