STORE SEED CORN IN A
DRY PLACE.

Word is being sent to the
farmers of Minnesota to take
special pains in drying and stor-
ing their seed corn this fall. G..
P. Bull, University Farm, St.
Paul, secretary Of the State
Committee of Food Production
and Conservation says:
.The amount of moisture to
be removed from the corn this
fall is larger than usual. A well
ventilated room with artificial
heat, if needed, should be pro-
vided for curing. Care should
be taken, however, not to dry
the corn too rapidly. The tenn
perature Of the drying room
should be kept somewhere be-
tween 60 and 70 degrees. The
ears should be hung up by the
double string method or should
be put on hangers or trees; it
should not be dumped in a pile
in a bin.
A double allowance, if it can
be had, should be saved, in or
der to admit of a more rigid Sc
lection next spring.
The present indications are
that there will be a good demand
for seed corn

County Buys Many
Liberty Loan Bonds
About 100000 Bonds Sold in
Redwood County, City
Buys $75,0OO

While returns are not yet in
from all parts Of Redwood Coun-
ty it is estimated by bankers
that the sale of the Second Lib
erty Loan Bonds in Redwood
County amounted to practically
100000. The city of Redwood
Falls subscribed $75, 900.
While these are under-sub-
scriptions Of the quota allotted
the county and city on the $5,-
OOO,O0O,O0O basis, they are over
subscriptions based on the 3d.
900, 100000 bonds asked for first.
Solicitors throughout the coun-
ty have worked valiantly all
through the campaign and are
deserving Of considerable credit
for the sacrifice of time they
made in neglecting their own
business that these bonds might
be sold. More definite figures
will be obtainable within a short
time.
Samples Of the bonds Of $50
and 500 denominations were
shown today at the State Bank
of Redwood Falls and are most
attractive pieces of paper aside
from their monentary value.
The most attractive thing about
them however are the coupons
which look very clippable. More
of the bonds are expected by the
bankers within the next few
days.

COW PRICES LIKELY TO BE
MUCH HIGHER.

A. J. Mcclure of the extern
sion division of the Minnesota
College of Agriculture looks for
the prices of cows to be much
higher next spring than they
were last spring, if the war con-
tinues. He, therefore, urges
farmers to keep their cows, es-
pecially in northeastern Mime
sofa. Mr.. Mcclure says:
Last spring farmers in north
eastern Minnesota bought COM
mon cows at from $75 to $125,
and grade cows for as much as
SITS. Now, with a shortage Of
feed, cows are being sold from
the same section of the state
and many are going to the
stockyards to be slaughtered.
s'To sell a COW that you will
need, again next spring, or that
will be needed in your neigh
borhood, will surely prove a loss.
If the war continues, it is pos
sible that the price of cows next
spring will be double that Of
last spring. If you need all the
cows and heifers you have, it
is a public duty to keep them. A
small farm in. the tiTnbered sec
ton of northern Minnesota with
out cows is almost without
means Of living for the owner,
and surely without sufficient
means of helping the country in
the present emergency.
You can buy hay this fall
much more easily than you will
be able to buy cows next spring.
We believe it good business to
mortgage cows, if necessary, to
buy feed. A warm barn will
save fed. Fix your barn SO that
the temperature will not get be-
low freezing in the coldest
weather"

WOULDN'T BE DICTATED TO

The. secretary Of one Of the
striking miners organizations
at Globe, Arizona, makes rath-
er lame explanation of the rear
son VIII his organization did not
display an American flag on its
headquarters. Secretary Smith
asserts that one of the big cop
per companies sent broad
hint to the union telling it to
fly the flag, but his men 'sbalked
at so doing because, they said;
it would look as if they were
being dictated to by the COM
pany."
This reminds us of the man
who broke his leg by fall down
the cellar stairs and who ex-
planned it in this wise to a friend
You see, I was at the top of
the stairs, just ready to start
down, when my wife called to
me, Now John, do be careful! 7
Well, / won't be dictated to by
a woman, so down | went
The miners of Globe who
would give themselves the ap-
pearance Of disloyalty to their
country and its flag, because
"they would not be dictated to-
showed an intelligence just
about on a par with that which
this husband displayed. Man

Make Good Gift

Not the least of the many
splendid things which have been
done for the Red Cross since it's
organization, is the gift which
Arnett & Hammer of Redwood
Falls are making every day and
have been for several weeks.
When it was found necessary for
the Red Cross workers to vacate
the domestic science rooms at
the high school because of the
beginning Of school, there was
considerable difficulty in secur-
ing. suitable working quarters.
Arnett & Hammer suggested
that the spacious rooms above
their garage might be used and
stated that there would be no
charge for the use of them. Since
the cold days the rooms have
been kept comfortably heated
and are also lighted for evening
classes or for work in the late
afternoon-all without any ex-
pense whatever to the Red Cross
branch. Anyone paying for heat
ing and lighting a home or a
kshop realizes that in terms of
money this is large gift and
in terms Of kindness and con-
venience to the workers it is
much larger. IF it is true that
He also serves who only stands
and waits it is much more true
that he truly serves who helps
some one else to serve. Not only
the local branch is very CRATE
.sful for this generous gift, but
Mrs. Margaret Little, the chair
man of the Redwood County
Chapter, is also very apprecia-
tive Of the gift of this firm.
