BETTER BUTTER FOR IOWA
State Wide Cream Improvement Con
test Started by Ames Dairymen.

Better butter for Iowa, without IN
creased cost TO the consumer. is In

wide cream Improvement contest
planned by the dairy department at
Iowa State College, who have dug into
their pockets and now offer $50 TO the
creamery in whose territory formers
make the most Improvement in clean
cream production the next year.
The contest. open to every one OF
the 400 creamerIes in the state, aims TO
encourage better cream production
thru the leadership of the creamery
men in their respective communities.
Improvement can quickly come about
in three big ways, by building of farm
milk houses. of which there are too
few In Iowa; by the installation OF
farm cooling tanks and by moving the
farm separator to cleaner places. And
So to that creamery in Iowa in whose
territory during the next year farmers
show most improvement in these lines,
the first prize OF s25 will be awarded.
A second prize of $50 and a third prize
OF SIS will also be given. Announce
ment of the winners will be made at
the creamery mems convention next
year.

SEED CORN CAMPAIGN
GIVES IOWA NATION
BEATING CROP IN 1916

Months ago 1t was estimated that
the seed corn campaign conducted dur
ing the fall Of 1915 and spring of '16.
by the agricultural extension depart
ment at Iowa State college, would add
100000 bu. increase to the 1915
corn crop of the state Of Iowa. Did II
do It?
1t did, says careful men who know
conditions. So thoroughly were Iowa
farmers aroused to the dangers OF the
bad seed situation, so aggressively did
they respond to the call of the cam :
paign that Iowa surprised herself last
year by raising a 366,S25,oO0 blu. crop
of corn, worth 1921, 100000, or enough
to buy every person in the nation new
SO Easter hat. ..,---
Note that, after such an unfavorable
corn year as 1915, when many farmers
did not have one ear of seed corn III
they crib, Iowa not only raises a
country beating corn crop 60,000,O00 bu.
larger than that of any other state
but that she stands head and shoulders
in corn yield above her neighoor
states, with whom she usually has
900 bu. greater than her own 1915 crop;
10000, 900 greater than her average for
the past four years, With an average
acre production Of 36.5 bu., she excels
the U. S. average by III bu, per acre
Note that it is blu. more per acre than
the Illinois crop, which had the best OIL
the argument by 6 Blu. in 1915: 10 bu.
more per acre that that of Nebraska,
in 1915 c.5 bu. more than Indiana
had an bu. margin over us in lSlo'
that II leads Missouri by II bu. per
acre, whereas Iowa beat the Show-me
state in 1915 by but l bu.
The facts are significant, for 1910
was a VIGOROUSLY bad corn year. not
only for Iowa, but for her neishoor
states Iowa conducted a seed corn
the other states did not.
Farmers of Iowa themselves declare
the campaign added at least bu. per
acre to the state yield. With lO,00o.OOo
acres devoted to corn in Iowa this
means an increase OF 20.00O000 bu. or
