SEED CORN NOT VERY

Planted.

No end of trouble is being expert
enced by the farmers this year in get

lists frequently f:I e been very un-
favorable. The peculiar climatic con-
dftions OF last fall have been respon-
sible for this. Often the corn looks
sound but does not show the results
when il is tested out.
Some of the farmers Of Marion coun-
" have good seed corn and ". E. Nc
Comas. county agent urges upon these
folks that they help out their neigh
bors and notify him il they have any
TO spare Unless this is done he fears
that poor stands will result This is
tn proper time as it does not pay to
repIant corn. Mr.. McComas is al
ways anxious to obtain seeds OF all
kinds and the farmers are asked to
cooperate with him in this regard.
The seed problem is a very import
ant one and every farmer should pa
triotically respond because failure
of any crop will be serious with the
great war on The corn for seed pur-
poses eli over the country appears to
have been affected about rhc sEa'a
way. Mr.. McComas states that this is
especially true in Minnesota and other
great states in the Northwest.

hu IN Downs, Farming
ton, Has Success With
His Grass Crop.

Just how a man can carry Uncle
Sans mail on the rural route and TIL
a farm Of 1o6 acres without help is a
problem, but nevertheless Thurman ].
Downs, Pennington R. D. 1 appears 70
know the recipe. Mr.. Downs is a
young active farmer and does not
wind up his duties as rural mail car
rier until 8 o'clock in the afternoon,
after which time he is a tiller Of the
sofl.
Special success he appears to have
with grass and he has a field Of the
unusual sort for Mario ncounty. Mr.
Downs practices a three year rotation
with corn, wheat or oats He has the
best success with grass mixture. This
IS composed of one bushel OF timo-
thy. a quarter bushel of alsike and
one quarter of bushel of mammoth.
b. his system of rotation he has
an average yield of two tons of hay
TO the acre. He is a strong advocate
OF ac!c phosphate. For five years
Mr.. Downs has been trying out this
system and he IS convinced beyond
the shadow of a doubt that 1t is a
success. He has four different fields
on which he has tested il. His farm Is
ven Kept. Excepting for a time last
summer when he had a man for a
short time he managed to do the work
himself.
