America S Most
Important Cereal

The Secretary of Agriculture last
Wednesday issued the following state
ment:
Corn is Americas most important
cereal. 1t can be grown successfully
over a wider area than any other and
furnishes nutritious food for man as
well as the staple grain feed for cattle
and draft animals. The production OF
corn should be increased this year to
the fullest extent, taking into consider
alton seed, labor and existing economic
conditions, and the availability of good
land III corn growing regions not needed
more urgently for other crops. The
acreage may well be Increased in most
OF the country east of the Tooth meri-
dian, as cora, IN general, tnrives III this
region.
An appreciate increase in the corn
crop is most feasible, however. in the
sections OF highest corn production
Favorable growing conditions exist in
such regions: farmers there are iamii
lar with cOrn-grOwing; they have the
necessary equipment available, and have
adapted corn production to prevailing
economic conditions. Farmers in such
regions, through many years OF expert
ence, have learned methods OF success
fully combating adverse conditions.
IEcy know that the planting Of virile,
tested seed in well-tilled, friable soil,
Immediate replanting of missing hills,
and early and continued cultivation Of
the fields count for much in the ability
of the plants to produce a bountifuI
yield. This knowledge should be put to
good use during the coming season in
order that however unfavorable con
ditions may be production of an excep-
tionally large crop may be assured.
In practically every county in the
country in which experience has shown
that corn may be produced successfully,
he possibilities of increasing the corn
crop without encroaching upon other
important crops is at least Worry Of
consideration, if land, labor and seed
are available.

would be submitted, TO maintain said

to be applied in building additional

Based on the assessment of 1916 II
would take six mills at first TO take
care of said bond issue, but we feel
confident that the number of mills
would be reduced due to the agricul-
tural development now in progress in
