Public Schools
Grows Larger

The second week of the 1916-1017
term Of the Valley City public schools
finds the classes organized with an
increased enrolment over last years
record. Fridays figures show that ITS
are in attendance at the high school
and $50 in the grades, a marked in
crease over the previous years enroll
ment.
An indication of the healthy growth
which the public schools are gaining
under the successful guidance of Sup
erintendent Hanna is evidenced by
the fact that this term it was neces-
sary to divide the fifth grade of the
Lincoln school into two sections and
employ an extra teacher for the work.
The Kindergarten department in
augurated this year starts out with an
initial enrolment of As. The base
ment of the library makes clean
airy room for the kindergarten pupils
who are in charge of Miss Hazel Ha
ley, of Superior, Wis. Children from
four to six are admitted to the kinder
garten.
With the classes already organized
and getting down to regular work anC
the attendance reaching the high mark
Of almost a thousand, this years ses
sion promises to be one of the mos
successful in history.

How to Give Good Advice.

The best way to give good advice is
to set a good example. When others
see how quickly you get over your

Remedy they are likely to follow your
example. This remedy has been in
use for many years and enjoys an ex-
cellent reputation. Obtainable every

of good seed corn and caring for 1t
carefully.
The exact method used by the In
dams in curing seed may not apply to
our dent corn, as the dent contains so
much water and does not get ripe or
dry in the field, as the flint corns, but
the principle applies to any corn, that
is to get the seed dry. There is no
question but what there would be a
much better supply of good seed corn
in North Dakota from home grown
fields, and good seed, too, if farmer
would 60 through his fields and pick
his corn in a wagon and spread it out
on scaffolds to dry during the fall. 1t
certainly is far superior to the all too
common method of picking seed corn
out of the shock or bundle during the
fall and winter, or not saving seed at
all and depending on the seed firms
for seed that may be shipped in and
is not raised in the immediate locality.
Much can be learned from Indian
corn culture and the North Dakota
farmer is going to prize the Indian
corn more highly as the years go by
! and he raises more hogs and sheep.
These classes of live stock will har-
vest the corn in the field without any
waste.
In any event take this lesson from
the Indian: Get the corn out early
and dry it thoroughly if one wants
good seed. E. w. Hall, County Agent

Takes Huge Daily Sum
to Operate a Railroad

Operating and maintaining rail-
road runs into huge sums and if the
total expenditures of all of the sys-
TENS in the United States were COM
puted together the amount would
reach almost fabulous figures.
For the last Is years the daily aver
age expense of operating the more
than 5000 miles of Northern Pacific
road was $148,780. This included $685.
337 for wages, $45,356 for other oper.
ating expenses, $24,288 for interest on
bonds and rentals, and $13,899 for
taxes. Interest on joint bonds is not
included. In the course of single
year the total expenditures for these
items on this one road, alone, amount
to $54,3O4,7OO.
Taking for granted the fact that the
above figures may be higher than on
some roads, due to the efforts con-
stantly made by Northern Pacific Off.
cials to give service par excellence
the total operating costs of the com
bined railroads of the United States
will run we'll up into II figures.
Nor do these represent the total
moneys paid for betterment of the
service, for the Northern Paci6c's
average daily outlay for a period Of
ten years ending June 80, 1916, has
been $19,797 on permanent improve
ments. The total average amount
annually expended by this road fol
this permanent betterment work
reaches $7,225,905.
1t is argued that the public demands
the best of service of it's public service
corporations. With the present rapid
development of the country even
greater sums must be appropriated to
expand the commercial and industrial
arteries so that adequate service may
be given. For each of the next ten
years conservative estimate of the
money required to meet these condi
lions by extensions and additional
equipment has been placed at one bill
lion dollars. ..'.
1t is acknowledged by experts thai
the railroads Of the country are run by
most careful policy of economy. Il
is a matter of great public concern
as to how the railways of the nation
are going to be financed in these pro
jects which loom ahead and no les!

greatly relieved. It is generally felt
on the part of all fair-minded people
that railroad, like anybody else, can
not serve so many masters, and tn
time has come for equitably fixin!
rates so that the income of the road
can be adjusted to conform to thei
expenses, leaving a fair percentag

, the necessary money can be secure,

Explains Indian Plan
for Curing Seed Corn

The Indians on the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation in northwestern
North Dakota have raised corn longer
than the oldest member Of the tribe
Gan remember. Their fields have been
bcated all along the Missouri river
through North Dakota. One field, To-
Gated near the old village where all
three tribes-Mandan, Crosse Ventre
and Arikarees-lived together for
some years, has been under cultiva-
lion for at least u years. Beans and
Suuash were raised beside the princt-
pal crop, corn.
One of the important operations IN
indian corn culture is the curing OF
the seed. The seed is picked early
But no particular field selection Is
made. The corn is husked and spread
out on corn scaffolds which are made
by setting up four or six posts, fork
cd at the: tops and then covered with
willows. This allows circulation of
air around the corn because willows
are not solid material The willows
are close enough together to keep
the ears from falling through. The
scaRold is about six feet from the
around. The corn is spread out all
over the top of this scaffold and left
there through rain or shine until it is
perfecrly dry. The best ears are pick
cd out for seed and put in boxes and
barrels and stored in the house, or, in
the old days, the corn was buried in
cache holes deep in the ground. Other
supplies such as beans, squash and
the feed corn was also buried in these
cache holes.
The principal thing in this Indian
curing process is getting the corn per-
1ectly dry. Practically every Indian
house at the present time has one OF
these corn drying scaffolds in front
OF the house and this scaffold has al
ways been part of the homes equip
ment
The writer asked one old Indian
man how ne tested his corn. He said
that he did not test it because he
knew it was good and would grow. 1t
always did. The stand in every In
dian field proves his statement. 1t is
rare to find a missing hill. Dry seed
is the reason for this. Even the fields
III the summer of 1916, when the year
previous, 1915, was a poor corn year,
are practically perfect stands.
The Mandan Indians have keep
er of the corn" A daughter of their
former chief holds the Office at pres
ent and it is her sacred duty to pre-
serve the seed from year to year. She
eultivates her field very faithfully,
and cures the seed and preserves it
very carefully. This is a splendid
example to the white man of the value

Time to Pick Seed Corn

This is the time to insure the next
years corn crop by selecting seed
from the fields that are now mature.
During the latter part of this week
and all of next week every effort
should be made to select enough
Northwestern Dent or Minnesota Thir.
teen, or any other of the Dent varie.
ties for next years planting.
This year has been good illustra.
ton of what North Dakota can do in
the production Of mature corn in an
unfavorable year. With a very back
ward spring and practically no corn
weather until July list the results in
the production of mature corn is equal
to that of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota or
any of the other corn states.
The selection of seed corn is one Of
the most important points that re.
quire attention at particular time.
In North Dakota where our climate
differs from most of the other corn
growing states, it is especially i'm
portant that attention be given to Sc.
lection Of seed corn at the proper
time. Mature corn has a much high
err feeding value than immature corn
and the only way to grow mature corn
is to select the seed from the home
fields. This year practically all of the
Dent corn that was obtained from
seed grown in the state is mature at
this time.
In selecting from the field it is we'll
to remember that as corn natures
early the ear tends to decrease in
size. This must be overcome by Sc.
lecting the largest ears that mature
early. The earliest maturing are pro.
duced nearest the ground, so the ten.
dency can be overcome by selecting
early maturing ears that are high
enough from the ground so that they
can be cut with a corn binder.
The corn should be husked and
hung up where the air circulates
freely. 1t contains high percentage
Of moisture and this should be dried
out before hard frosts. Where it is
dried slowly the corn is apt to mold
Sometimes there is question as to
how ripe the corn must be to grow.
Corn in the roasting stage will grow,
deal more care till dry.
Last spring the farmers were able
to obtain quantity of good 1914 seed,
but this supply of old seed has been
exhausted. So in order to be sure of
good seed next year it will be neces-
sary to select from the fields now.
One man can easily pick and hang
up three bushels of corn in one day.
This should be enough to plant twenty
to twenty-five acres, and next spring
will no doubt be worth fifteen to eigh.
teen dollars. Fifteen dollars is good
wages for one days work Twice as
much seed as needed shopld be pick
ed, and in the spring before planting
the poor ears can be discarded.
