SEED CORN WEEK SET
FOR SEPTEMBER 1920
Minnesota Farmers Asked to Save
Enough Seed Corn to Last
Two Years.

In a genuine win-the-war seed
corn campaign in which the county
farm bureaus of Minnesota are to CO.
operate with the agricultural extern
sion division of the University of
Minnesota in observing Seed Corn
Time, September 10 to 20, Mime
sofas farmers will obtain 100000
bushels of seed corn as a means of
insuring the seeding of corn for the
next two years.
This means one bushel of seed corn
for every three acres to be planted
to corn.
According to the plan of this cam
corn to be selected during Seed Corn
Time, September 10 to 20, is 49,
900 bushels. This county has an
average corn acreage of $4,000 acres,
and the amount of seed corn men
toned is enough to seed this acreage
amount of seed corn will insure
farmers against repetition of such
a seed corn shortage as occurred last
spring.
The farm bureaus of every county
will have county committee to see
that each county raises it's full quota
of we'll selected corn. Under the
county farm bureaus the various COM
munities of the county will be or
ganized by proper representatives,
and when Seed Corn Time arrives
the whole state will be busy laying
in it's stores of corn.
Every farmer will be called on to
select one bushel of seed corn for
every three acres he puts into corn.

Land may be prepared for rye by

land may be used that has been

FARMERS OF MINNESOTA
SHOULD GROW MORE RYE
Can Do So Probably, Both in Stand
point Of Money and
Labor

The Farm Bureau Of Stevens coun-
ty is considering the problem of an
increased acreage Of winter rye. The
attention of the bureau has been
called by the extension division of
the department of agriculture, Uni
versity of Minnesota, to the fact that
1 900 acres of winter rye were grown
in this county in 1917-18, and that
probably a considerably larger acre
age can be grown with profit.
Two reasons are urged for this pro-
gram:
That on soils mot we'll adapted to
wheat, fine yields of rye may often
be obtained Soil that will not pro-
duce wheat will often produce ex-
cellent rye and pound for pound rye
is nearly as valuable for bread as is
wheat.

Farm Bureau Makes Announcement

Recently concern has come into
existence known as the Federal
Farm Bureau" with several branch
Offices throughout the country, one
of which is located in the city of ST..
Paul.
The Executive Committee of the
Stevens County Farm Bureau wishes
to announce this concern has no con-
nection whatsoever with the County
Farm Bureau movement in Stevens
county or elsewhere.
The County Farm Bureau move
ment is organized to cooperate with
State and Government in conducting
food production campaigns and in
promoting permanent improvement
of agriculture and farm home life.
AS near as can be learned the prin-
cipal business of the Federal Farm
Bureau" is to sell a so-called Farm
Accounting System being quoted at
$500. 1t is we'll to state that GER
tain testimonials have been secured
by this concern from government
officials advocating farm accounting,
particularly in connection with in
come tax reporting by which it ap-
pears the concern may be attempting
to represent to farmers thatits system
had been especially Endorsed by the
Federal Government.
The Farm Bureau Executive Com
mittee does not want to be under
stood to desire to do any injury to
the concern issuing this account
book or to discourage anyone from
keeping farm accounts. 1t simply
desires to make it clear that it has
no relationship with the concern.
1t is we'll to state that simple
and practical farm account book was
recently prepared by the Agricultural
Extention Division, University Farm,
Minnesota, and distributed at cost
of ten cents each. Many Of the
bankers of the state have been CO.
operating in distributing these books.
More information may be obtained
concerning such at the Farm Bureau
headquarters.

Silage Valuable for Sheep

A good quality of silage is ex-
treme1y palatable and can be fed to
all classes of sheep with good re-
suits. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that silage which is either very
sour, moldy or frozen should not be
fed.
Use of this succulent feed for
sheep has attracted the attention of
most farmers only during the past
few years. Much has been said of
it's bad effects upon sheep, but these
have been due either to an inferior
quality of sileage or carelessness of
the feeder and improper feeding.

Home Curing of Meats Permitted

The home curing of meats sufficient
to supply all reasonable needs of a
family is an act of thrift and one to
be commended is the statement of
the federal food administration for
Minnesota.
The food administration will not
interfere in any way with the custom
that has existed for years, among
farmers particularly, of killing some
of their home grown animals and
curing the meat for their own use
during the winter, and any individ-
uals killing and curing a supply to
meet the needs of the family for the
winter need have no fear that the
supply will be confiscated.

LACK OF BIG TERMINAL
ELEVATORS. Is SERIOUS
Government Should Provide Ample
Storage for Grain on Atlantic
Seaboard

lnVeSC1gaL1On by the Minnesota
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
relative to the grain elevator capa-
city on the Atlantic seaboard reveals
that there is available for CONNER
cial purposes only about 100000
bushels. This capacity is scattered
over seven ports from Portland, Me-,
to Norfolk, Va. This lack of elevator
facilities constitutes the weak link in
the entire transportation system over
seas and unless additional storage is
provided in the immediate future,
the commission is convinced that the
movement of grain overseas will be
hampered and that there is a serious
and constant danger of repetition
of the disastrous freight congestion
of 1915, which was popularity spoken
of as due to "car famine"
Commissioner o. P. B. Jacobson,
by personal investigation in the
East revealed that there was no
actual shortage of cars at the time.
On the contrary, cars were plentiful,
but instead of being used for trans
port purposes they were devoted to
storage of grain in the terminal
yards of New York, Philadelphia,
Newport News and other ports, re-
naming idle for weeks, and in many
cases, for months at a time. Thous-
ands and thousands of cars were
used in this way when they should
have been in motion, and as a re-
suit of so much idle equipment, the
entire commercial and industrial life
of the country was disorganiZed. Had
there been adequate grain storage
facilities at the Atlantic seaboard in
1915, cars would have been released
Immediately on arrival, and there
would have been no serious conges-
ton, although climatic conditions
possibly would have caused some in
reference with freight traffic.
On a recent visit to the Atlantic
ports, Mr.. jacobson learned that the
situation now is fully as serious as
in 1915, and probably more so, as no
additional elevators have been con-
structed and several of the old ones
have been destroyed by fire. High
officials of the Federal Railroad and
Food Administration agree that the
elevator facilities in the eastern
ports are "shamefully inadequate"
They are straining every nerve to
keep freight moving and to keep the
ports clear from congestion, but
frankly confess that there should be
a very much greater grain capacity
on the seaboard so that grain from
the west may be un1oaded without
delay and the cars returned to traffic,
and also that vessles may obtain car
goes as soon as they arrive in port.
Without such facilities breakdown
in the overseas transportation al
ways will be imminent.
The Minnesota Railroad and Ware
house Commission is endeavoring to
bring before congress and the rail-
road administration the urgent need
of taking prompt action to provide
additional elevators at all the main
ports on the Atlantic and urges
every farmer and every friend of the
farmer to exert every influence upon
| the Federal Government to take such
action as will supply this much need
ed want of the grain interests of the
United States and of the Allied coun-
tries.

RED CROSS entertainment At WA.
IERPRoOF.

The entertainment given at Water
proof on Tuesday night for benefit OF
the Red Cross was brilliant success
in every particular-indeed we say 1t
eclipsed the most sanguine hopes of
the promoters.
An excellent minstrel, composed en-
tirely of home talent-the boys and
girls of the local school-was the first
attraction of the evening and afforded
great pleasure and amusement to the
audience, and evidenced good deal OF
talent that showed great possibility II
properly developed. Mrs. Katherine
Newell and Miss Marjorie Davidson
had kindly consented to sing and their
solos were beautiful and inspiring.
A Bud Scott dance followed the
minstrel and the couples that were
soon lost i'm the maze of this delightful
and popular past time we're seeming
ly like unto the sands of the sesshore.
The attendance taxed the large school
building to the utmost, we may say to
the point of congestion. Booths were
arranged about the auditorium where
refreshments we're sold, and the de-
mand exceeded the supply. Every
body present enjoyed the occasion to
the utmost and friends met friends
whom they probably mad not seen in
years, for the crowd included people
from practically every cross road in
Tensas parish, while numbers came
from points many miles distant, we
may say all the way from Tallulah to
Natchez, and from Franklin parish to
central Mississippi. We understand
the proceeds realized for the worthy
cause exceeded three hundred dollars.
%, Too much praise cannot be given
the management for their tireless
work and the fruits of their labOrs
afford them happy comfort for their
indefatigsble efforts.
