MINNESOTA MUST SAVE HER OWN
SEED CORN

The last three or four years have dem
onstrated that Minnesota farm
ers should plant only northern grown
seed corn and best results will be OBJ
tanned if they grow their own, according
to Andrew Boss, Minnesota experiment
station. 1t is not possible to use corn
grown in the states to the south, and
none Of the states either to the east or
west are producing corn that is as we'll
adapted to Minnesota conditions as that
grown within the state. Those having
fields Of good corn this year, therefore,
should take special pains to select good
seed for the next years use.
The shortage Of seed last spring alb
sorbed all available seed and there is
no old corn to depend on for next year.
The wise thing to do is to save suffi-
cient seed for two years use. This
means that Minnesota farmers should
this fall. This is something of pro-
gram to undertake, but the Importance
Of the crop warrants it..
Early picking Of the seed and prop
er curing in seedcorn rooms and houses
is essential. Picking the best ears from
hills having three or four well-grown
stalks will insure getting the best yield
ing corn.

TIN SCARCE; SAVE JARS AND BOT
TITS

Tin containers are likely to be increas-
ingly scarce, owing to the heavy de-
mands Of canned goods for the army and
navy, according to the advices received
at University farm from the federal
food administrator. Consequently, the
housekcepes are being urged to make
use of containers of other sorts insofar
as possible. Wide neckcd bottles and
sealed stone containers will take care of
everything except large fruit canned
whole Many containers in which com
mercial food stuffs have been bought
are suitable for the storage of home
products. Narrow-neckcd bottles may be
used for fruit juices, tomato paste and
catsup, wide-nccked bottles for prescr-
yes, pickles and vegetables. Tin, wood
and paste board boxes may be used IN
storing dry fruits and vegetables after
they have been properly conditioned.
Pressurc-lid cans, coffee tins and lard
buckets with tight covers are excellent
for dried fruit and vegetables. Thin
paper pasted over joints will help make
containers Of this sort air tight.

The federal food administration has

ORCHARD AND GARDEN NOTES

Plant few daffOdlls, tulips and
hyacinths in pots for spring blooming.
A cold frame is good place in which
to store root crops, cabbage, and celery
temporarily.
Squashes should be picked before be-
ing frosted and they require dry and
warm place for storage.
Take up a few plants of parsley for
winter use. It will grow quite readily
in the kitchen window.
Let the Gamma and dahlia bulbs lie
on the ground a few hours before put
ting them in the cellar.
Cut all the grass away from small
apple trees before the ground freezes.
This will leave one less home for MICE.
Hydranga Paniculata flowers cut be-
fore they are frosted will last we'll in
to the winter if put into dry vase.
Clean up the garden as early as pos
sible and pillow or spade it this fall.
Many insects will be destroyed by doing
this.
Save all fallen leaves, pile them in an
out of-the-way corner, put little SOIL
on them, and they soon make good fer
tilizer.
Don't knock the apples off the trees
and then throw them into barrels if
you expect them to keep long. Every
bruise means quick decay of that part.
Be careful of fire in the woods these
days. AS soon as the leaves and weeds
are dry, fire spreads rapidly and is too
dangerous to be careless with.
One of the prcttist Of the common
ANIMALS in bloom this year was the
scabiosa, sometimes called morning
bride. It is easy to grow and blooms
over long period.
AS soon as the frost has killed the
asparagus foliage, it may be cut off and
burned Young plants may be started
by saving and planting the seeds when
ripe.
It doesn It cost much to plant trees,
yet they add great deal to any prop
erty. The New Jersey Forester says
the shade trees Of New Jersey are worth
$20,0O0,000. Still there are not nearly
trees enough in New Jersey.-LeRoy

GET SEED POTATOES NOW FOR
NEXT YEAR

This is the time to select seed pota
toes, says Richard Wellington of Univ
crsity Farm. If it is not too late, one
should go through his potatoes stalking
strong and vigorous vines, especially
with a main shoot and strong, healthy
side shoots. Then when harvesting the
potatoes he should dig these hills sep
arately taking his seed potatoes only
from hills yielding from 6 to IL potatoes
of from 10 to 16 ounces, uniform in
size, smoothness and trueness to type.

THE AMAZING FIGURES

The announcement of the Treasury
that $4,000 100000 would be raised i'm.
mediately BY the sale OF certificates
of Indebtedness anticipates the next
Liberty Loan, which probably will be
, launched in April. The stupendous
cost of this war is just beginning TO
show itself in some rather startling
! Rgures. The other day an official
Statement was made that the ten
months Of the war have cost the
| United States s7,100,0o0.O00, at the
rate of nearly s24,OOOOOo day. These
figures are getting somewhat beyond
! the realization Of the human mind.
But that Is not all. The Secretary Of
the Treasury has repeated the state
ment that the Treasury will have to
raise s1O.0N0000,00O by loans between
now and July l. and in view Of the
huge tax payments which come in
June. the bonds will apparently have
to De sold in one campaign.
Commenting on this situation. well
known financial authority points out

! tificates permitted 10 be outstanding at
one time under existing law is $4,000
! 100000, and of these more than ST.
| 900. 000,0 600 are due on June %. The
proceeds Of these have been received

bond issue is announced. The amount
of bonds remaining unsold under the
! existing authorization IS only $685.

that another offering will be made
without changing the terms in some
