Bio Oats Yield.

Ida Grove-SeveraI fields of ninety
bushel oats are claimed in Ida county
this year grown from the new variety
known as Iowa No. 10S. Two years
ago L. ]. Baxter. of Silver Creek. got
enough Of this seed from Ames COL
lege to plant twenty acres. From the
resultant crop in 1915 he obtained
enough seed for his own uses and sold
1000 bushels to other farmers in the
county. Among the purchasers Is
Paul Corrie, who threshed a few days
ago 719 bushels Of Iowa No. l03 from
a patch always considered to contain
eight acres. which means half a peck
less than ninety bushels to the acre.
+. o. Peterson planted twelve acres
with the seed and obtained seventeen
and half loads from it. Ray Craw-
ford, another user Of the same seed.
had thirtytwo loads from thirty acres
Mr. Baxter himself has obtained sixty
Ave bushels to the acre. Ed Page,
who used the same seed. has his oats
still in stack. but the yield appears
very heavy. Those who have grown
this variety say that the yield is very
prolific, altho the grains are hardly
as large as the average varieties. \
much larger acreage of this variety is
anticipated for another year.

John Co,o,,ie Urges
Selection of Seed No,o
For Next Vars Corr,
[By John Cownie,l

10y JOnu No"hiS'I
This Is the month to save seed corn
Go in the field and select the best
formed ears, as soon as the kernels are
well dented.
See that the stalks on which the ears
grew are strong and vigorous
The ears hanging about waist high
Remove all husks and silk, Gather al
least twice as much as will be needed
for seed next year.
Take it at once to your dwelling
house and store in room that mas
good ventilation and artificial heat, that
it can be fire dried. Place the ears on
racks or Slated shelves or hang them
with Irvine. that will insure free cir
cula ton of air between the ears.
Open the windows in dry weather,
close them in wet or damp weather
Keep up the fire heat until the ears
are thoroughly dried.
Fire dried seed corn has much more
vitality than air dried seed, grows
stronger and yields better,
Never allow any dampness where
seed corn is kept. Wniie moderate cuid
may not materially iniure seed corn
when wen uElSu, lHe tStHpVieN"iN ~"
the room, attic or basement If dry and
warm, where seed corn is kept should
never fall to the freezing point.
When Smelling seed corn just before
planting, reject all tip and butt kernels.
also any ears that may have nodded or
appear unfit for seed from any cause, Z.
Sort the ears according to the size
of the kernels and she'll separately to
insure uniform dropping by the planter.
BY following strictly the foregoing
methods during more than forty years
on an Iowa farm I never had poor
stand or replanted on account of poor
seed and with an almost perfect stand
of three stalks to a hill.
While there were three serious fall
ures Of seed corn in Iowa during the
twelve years I was a member OF the
board Of control the saving of seed
corn at our state farms received my
personal attention and the foregoing
method was the rule.
Result: Not single hill was re-
planted on account of poor seed and
invariably full stand secured, with
our waste of time in testing.
During the last twenty five years the
farmers of Iowa have lost hundreds Of
millions OF dollars by failure to gather
and save their seed corn in a proper
manner.
Had my advice in regard to saving
seed corn been taken, now given for
more than an average life time, thru
the press ard at farmers and other
meetings, the additional yield of corn in
Iowa If sold at market price, would
have hard surfaced every public high
way in the state.
This article is written. printed and
mailed to every newspaper and agri-
cultural journal in Iowa at my own eX-
pense, and | trust it will be printed by
those receiving it.
And If the advice here given is fol-
lowed by every farmer in Iowa, poor
seed corn will never be heard of again,
full stand will be secured In each
and every year. and hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars added to the wealth of
our state that have heretofore been
lost.
Let us all unite as one man to ban
ish forever from our state the posi-
bilty of poor seed corn, in any year
and when this result is secured my OBJ
! ject in writing and publishing this ar
! ticle will be ACCOMPLISHED

New Method Of Hayina.

Ida Grove--Charles Rauch, who
farms his fathers place in section lG
of Grant. tried new method this year
in putting up forty acres of good tim
othy hay. He cut 1t with binder, but
did not tie sthe bundles. After an am
pie drying in windrows the timothy
was stacked and when thoroughly
cured was moved away in the barn.
He claims that this method is much
simpler than the ordinary me1h nds of
putting up hay and the results are the
same. He claims that it can also be
done with clover hay. Mr.. Rauch and
his father believe in permitting tim
othy to ripen more than the majority
Of farmers do. They claim that tim
othy Is a very slow drier and if put
away before all the sap has disap-
peared. that it will black mold and
be worth only fraction Of its former
value. The Rauchs have also sixteen
acres Of new alfalfa seeding this year,
but they report that it has not done
very we'll, owing doubtless to dry
weather.
