STORING SEED
CORN PROPERLY
If KEPT UNDER RIGHT CON-
DITIONS TROUGH WINTER
TERMINATES PROMPTLY
Montana Growing Season Short and
No Chance Should Be Taken on De-
lay in Getting Crop Started Due to
Replanting Drying Essential.

The excellence of the corr exhibits
shown at the state fair this year was
remarked upon by hundreds and
should encourage farmers to put in a
larger acreage of this important crop.
The time was when 1t was thuouht
that corn could not be grown success
fully IN Montana. In eastern Mon
ANA at least this idea has proven false
Tor the exhibits of Custer and Dawson
counties included orr that would be
a credit TO any state.
One of the most important factors
III the successful growing of corn is
that of seed. The growing season in
Montana is short at the best and it
is highly important that seed corn
terminate promptly SO that there will
be no delay in the starting of the crop
due to replanting.
The conditions under which seed
corn is stored have a very great in
tluence upon its power to terminate.
Should be Dry.
Seed corn should first be thoroughly
dried and then should be kept drv
throughout the winter. If dry it will
stand any amount Of freezing without
mjurlng its vitality.
The main thing in storing seed corn
is to have it in a dry, sheltered place
and so arranged that the air circulates
freely about each ear. An easy way
OF taking care Of seed corr is to make
a finishingnail hanger. Nails are
driven into a board so that they slant
upward and the corn ears are pushed
onto thenails. After filling the boards
are nailed or hung to rafters. Finish
INC nails can also be driven into the
sides of the granary wall and used for
this purpose.
Stringing the Ears.
Another common method is to hang
the seed corn on strings. Take a stout
cord ten or twelve feet long. Tie one
end around the center of an ear and
then tie on other ears by mean Of a
ship loop around the middle of each
cal.
Make sure that the seed corn is
thoroughly dried this fall before freez-
inc weather starts in. hanging it be-
hind the kitchen stove if necessary.
II possible save cough seed for two
years planting.

A BRIDGE STORY

A bridge story which gave vast
amusement was of a naive young
woman, arriving at party, the in
vitation to which she had accepted
not knowing that bridge was to be
played after luncheon. She confided
to her hostess that she did not know
one card from another, but as she
was a much-needed fourth, she was
urged to sit down and simply keep
saying mo bid" in the hope of being
dummy" all the while.
When seated at the table her three
companions asked one another the
most complicated questions before
commencing the game, such as 'DO
you take me out on a four card suit
when l double a no trump on first
bid?" and Does your bid of two clubs
over one heart mean club strength
or no trump"
To all of this the nonbridgist lis
tened silent and perplexed. Turning
to her, the others at the table said
perhaps you would like to ask some
questions before we begin?'
Eyes, should like to ask one" she
replied. (Which has the Whiskers
the king or the jack?"
Whether the result was an insen-
safe heap of three under the table is
not related.

M. Nj. CORNER.
Edited by Aunt Jennie.

Thru some ones neglect, no meet
ing was arranged for this week, so
there will be some things forever I'M
done. We should have put our heads
together" made and carried out some
plans for the Better Babies cam
paign." All of us have relatives. friends
and acquaintances who should be in
terested in this contest. whether or
not there is baby in the house.
Judging by the remarks we hear
and questions that are asked. it is
evident that we need some one, or
many to do some follow up work
right now. When cards and circulars
are sent out, that is only the begin
ming, many have no children in school.
and do not take a newspaper. Those
living in upper rooms are not likely
to get circular. Others are not in
the habit of even looking at any print
ed matter left at the door. Some
men and women, too. are prejudiced.
in a way, considering this a sort of
graft, and still others fear to have
their children examined for fear it
may bring to light some fancied or
real defect meaning treatment or an
operation perhaps later. So its quite
apparent that there's something for
each of us to do.
We can make this a good excuse
for calling on our new neighbors, and
try to persuade them to attend the
lectures at least. 1t is likely some
may be hindered on account of not
having suitable clothing for them
selves or children. Here's what we might
have done in a quiet way, all to our
selves: fitted out that baby, without
hurting the mothers pride either:
what pity that so much good clothing
is laid away, gathering rust, when il
might be a needed blessing.
So let's begin right now. Wednes-
day or Thursday, even. Perhaps some |
of US can take some ones children
for the day. or ask them to come to !
supper. after school; and so give the /
mother q chance to go and hear a lee /
ture. 1t may prove to be a time of |
her life.
