potatoes was one Of the pointed
statements made by c. e. Brown of
st. Anthony Park. Mimi, in his adj
| dress to the convention on the sub
ject OF Growing and Marketing Seed
Potatoes.
The speaker said that because of
the climatic conditions of the south 1t
has been impossible for that section
Of the country to breed its own seed
potatoes and that in the past the
growers Of potatoes in that section
have been taking northwestern seed
regardless Of its quality because they
had to have seed and this was
the only place to secure It, &.
This Is changed now" continued
the speaker. THE people Of the south
ern states have learned what good
potatoes are and through the efforts
Of the seed growers Of Wisconsin and
the northeastern states a strong
competition Is being built UP that
makes it necessary for the northwest
ern states to look to their laurels." He
insisted that quality is now necessary
and that this can only be secured
through Standardization and the
production Of potatoes with quality
backed by a real guarantee as to this
| quality.
The speaker reviewed the work In
clay county ana OCher parts or Min
nesota and the work that IL now
being done by the Minnesota Potato
Growers association, of which he is
secretary. Mr.. Brown has been In the
potato growing business for the past
twenty-five years and for nine years
! was with the college Of agriculture of
Minnesota.
The speaker said that legislation
| will be needed to bring about the
proper guarantee as he said that 1t
| was absolutely necessary that the
guarantee should be real one-that
when the certification is made that it
| will mean to the southern purchaser
good quality" The southern grower
do not care for price-that is a minor
consideration. It is quality they want
and 1t is quality they will have to be
given If the northwest is to retain its
| position as a seed potato country"
said Mr.. Brown.
Little Ahead Of Indians.
Otto Uhlhorn, county agent of
Ransom county, startled the farmers
| present by stating that in the matter
| Of growing corn, the farmers of the
northwest are very little ahead of the
Indians Of hundreds of years ago. Mr..
| Uhlhorn spoke on A Farmers Expert
ence in Corn Breeding. r. .a
'Tt is known that corn was grown
| in the vicinity of Mandan, N. D., be-
tween 800 and 400 years ago, before
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-01-16

the first white settlers" said the
speaker. Corn was grown in Mani
tobaL before the time OF the early
French explorers.
"It has been learned that the Indians
in the vicinity of Mandan grew on an
average of twenty bushels OF corn. to
the acre while today we are producing
% q bushels to the acre. We are very
little ahead of the Indians about one
seventh ahead.
Mr.. Uhlhorn traced the history
OF the crop and said that 1t had been
brought north by the aborigines IN
general stages until 1T mad pecone &C
cIinnated. He said that this transplant
ing from its native home had produced
a yastnumber of varieties of corn which
will do about what man wants 1T to
do: that this transplanting has
developed kinds that vary greatly In
time OF maturity which ranges from
20 DAYS to 200 days and, that 1t has
made many wide divergences in size
Of stock which ranges from to feet
in height. @
He then took up the matter of maxi
ing greater productions than the lndi-
ans made saying that 1t can only be
through proper SEED
selection. He went into the details or
the isolation of the seed plant and the
method Of planting as a
means OF bringing up the standard Of
seed. Low production, he contended,
was due to low vitality in seed, which
could be eliminated by use OF COM
nonsense methods in seed selection.
The speaker said that the average
was about so per cent
that out of the 100000 acres reports
show were planted to corn in the
northwest there were 100000 acres
that produced nothing that were not
planted with seed corn, but with feed
corn" He estimated that this loss
to 3.346,000 bushels or about
81, 276, 500.
.In planting corn in this country
the farmer must look to maturity first
and production next" said Mr.. Uhl-
horn.

the plant gets much higher than the
other branches. This is before any
bloom appears. It should also be cut
rather high-cutting below all the
branches often kills the plant. Hand
ling sweet clover for hay is very
similar to alfalfa, except that the
larger stems make curing somewhat
slower.
Cutting Alfalfa Hay.
Alfalfa is relatively easy to cut,
and an ordinary team will handle a
6-foot mower and there is a big adj
vantage in using as large a machine
as possible, so as to cut the field
quickly. II the field was put in shape
when the alfalfa was sown the mower
may be run close to the ground. al
though IL the tillers have made con-
siderable growth it is advisable to cut
above them. The bottom part of the
alfalfa stems are more woody, and
for this reason there is little adj
vantage in cutting low. In, fact, there
is some advantage In leaving a rather
long stubble, of or 4 inches, which
will help to hold the hay up off the
ground, and allow it to cure more
readily
Cut During Hot Part Of Day.
"As 1t is the big problem to get the
moisture out OF the hay quickly after

at a time when there is as little
moisture in it as possible. This would
be during the hottest part OF the day,
and particularly after the dew had
gone off in the morning. The alfalfa
will dry off much more rapidly when
standing than when lying in thu
swath. and especially, il the ground is
fun OF moisture from a recent rain.
When possible. IL is best to cut the
alfalfa during the very hottest part OF
the day. This would probably be be-
tween noon and three or four o'clock
CIR IL there were great deal to be
cut the mower might be started at ten
o'clock and run somewhat later in the
evening.
Rake &c Soon &c Wilted.
IF the growth Is light and the
ground rather dry It may be possible
to rake what was cut in the morning,
later in the evening. It does not hurt !

tendance at the convention this after
noon. many OF the farmers coming In
on delayed trains and swelling the
crowd to about Its normal.
One of the principal speakers Of the
afternoon was J. g. Haney OF Grand
Forks, Of the agricultural extension
department of the International
Harvester Co.. who spoke on the sub
ject Of Making Clover and Alfalfa
Hay. s-,#% r..es .r...
In this instructive address Mr..
Haney said in part:
The making of alfalfa and clover
hay is no more difficult than making
any other kind of hay. There seems
to be a general impression that for
some reason alfalfa requires differ
ent handling, and is harder to make.
The first crop of alfalfa which comes
on about June 90 to Is, may give
more trouble in getting UP In good
shape than the later cuttings, be-
cause Of the fact that usually at this
time there Is apt to be more wet
weather. However, this Is not the
fault OF the hay.
Alfalfa. will stand as much. or
more rain than clover, and some other
common hays, and not be damaged
to as great an extent. Rain. Of course,
is a detriment to any hay crop.
Cut When New Growth Starts.
1.-THE time of cutting alfalfa for hay
is determined entirely by the stage
of growth, and this can best be ascer-
tanned by carefully watching for the
new growth which starts at the crown
of the plant. When this new growth
has started, and before 1t Is large
enough to be clipped by the sickle, is
the proper time to cut alfalfa, re-
CARELESS OF any other condition.
"For the first cutting. the bloom
ing period is apt to be greatly de-
layed, especially IL there happens TO
be some frost after the alfalfa has
made considerable growth. It Is well.
however, to watch for both tillers
and bloom, for 1t has been known that
when the weather was dry the new
growth or tilIers may be delayed until
after the crop has been cut, In which
case it would be we'll to note the
blooming very carefully. and cut as
soon as about one-tenth Of the blooms
have appeared.
Red Glover and Sweet Glover.
Red clover is usually cut for hay
when in full bloom, or when a few OF
the first blooms have begun to turn
brown. Red clover had best be- sown
with some stiff growing grass, such
as timothy. to hold it up and make 1t
more easily cured. Sweet clover, for
hay, should be cut before ii becomes
stemmy-before the central stem OF

night, but IL the hay has dried con-
siderably, and a heavy dew falls. 1t
will bleach to certain extent. How
ever, IL the growth is heavy and the
weather not very dry, 1t Is probable
that IL will be necessary to lei 1t all
lie over from one day until the next.
The rake should be started just as
soon as the hay has wilteds and be-
fore any OF the leaves become 50 britt
tie that they would rattle of when
the hay is raked.
Cure the Hay-Don't Dry II.
THE alfalfa hay perhaps more than
any other, should be cured instead Of
dried. The moisture leaves the alfalfa
plant through the leaves, naturally.
That is, it Is transpired theE same as
moisture taken from the soil during
growth. IL the hay is cut and left in
the hot sun the leaves will often dry
up before the moisture has been
pumped out Of the stems or transpires.
When the hay is raked into wind

row, or thrown into small narrow
cocks, the hay goes on Transporting
moisture in the natural way, until 1t
is thoroughly cured. For this reason It
Is essential that the hay be raked be-
fore it becomes too dry, and allowed
to go through the curing process in
the windrow or cock.
In handling alfalfa hay on a rath-
er large scale it is often desirable to
put It into the stack or barn from the
windrow. In fact, in using the hay
to do the curing in the windrow It
is fact, however. that IL the help Is

A PULLING
SENSE OF SHAME.

1t would be humiliating to the
Fatherland to negotiate for peace along
the lines proposed by President Will
son. So the people of Germany and the
Germans of the United States have
been telling us. They would have us
understand that they are a very proud
people and that they will never toler-
ate humiliation of their country. By
their simplicity and naivette the Ger
nan are every day making their psy-
chology more perplexing. While ap-
parent Y humiliation is what they
most dread, they have yet to perceive
that exposure of their country's in
fanny is a continuous performance on
which the curtain will not be rung
down until their official representa-
tives have been removed from the pub
lie eye.
What a peculiar sense of humiliation
is theirs! To modification they are
immune, else they would surely throw
up their hands and hasten the closing
of all accounts, wherein are to be found
the records of their diplomacy. Not
withstanding Bernstorff and Bopp and
all the co~ld-blooded assassins of Ger
man diplomacy who have been doing
the bidding of the German foreign of
flee for years, the people of Germany,
whom we have generously assumed to
be superior to their government, are
hugging their Kaiser to their hearts
and protesting that they will never
suffer themselves to be Inundated ut
his expense. 1t is indeed a difficult
task to save the Germans from them
selves.-Town Talk.

SPECIAL MEETING OF
STOCKGROWERS.

President ]. A. Schoonjans of the
Saratoga Valley Stock Growers Asso-
citation has called a special meeting of
the membership Of that body for the
afternoon Of November 2, and every
member SHOULD be present, if possible.
Matters of Importance to the individual
members will be discussed at the meet
ing and it is to the interest of every
individual member to attend.
1t is incumbent upon every stockman,
under present conditions, to cooperate
to the utmost with other producers in
an effort to carry out such measures as
they may consider necessary in safe
guarding their property and increasing
their production. Under war condi-
lions live stock market uncertainties
are intensified and the cost of produc-
ton is very greatly increased, and from
all indications throughout the country,
a great decrease in the number of live
stock is inevitable.
The government is making every pos
sible effort to stabilize conditions on
the range and encourage by liberal reg
ulations increased live stock produc-
ton within the national forests, the In
dian reservations and on the uappro-
priated public lands.
In these t%roublous times these and
many other problems come very close
to every grower of live stock, and it is
only by cooperation of the growers
through the medium of their local as
sociations that anything can be accom-
plished to relieve the situation. The
stockmen Of the country are finding
that their strength lies altogether in
cooperation, and local associations are
being formed in many parts of the
country for the protection of the indi-
vidual growers, who are realizing the
value of concerted action in order to

"Gladstone was another one of

with regard to work, turning from
political responsibilities of the heav-
lest to Greek, for recreation, and liv-
ing his fourscore years and more, just
as Pope Leo XIII turned to Latin
poetry for his relaxations from world
wide burdens, and lived so hopefully
that when, at the little dinner given
him on his ninetieth birthday, one
of the cardinals said, in proposing a
toast: "Here's that you may live to

who at the age of 81 proposed to write

had no breads; but they allowed their
