TO INSURE NEXT
YEARS CORN CROP
Stevens County Called Upon to Save
$500 Bushels during Seed
Corn Week

In seed corn campaign in which
the county farm bureaus of Mime
sofa are to cooperate with the agri-
cultural extension division of the
University of Minnesota in observ-
ing Seed Corn Time, September 10
to 20, Minnesota's farmers will OBJ
tain 100000 bushels of seed corn as
a means of insuring the seeding of
corn for the next year.
This means one bushel of seed corn
for every six acres to be planted to
corn.
According to the plans of this cam
paign Stevens county's quota of seed
corn to be selected during Seed Corn
Time, September 10 to 20, is $500
bushels. This county has an aver
age corn acreage of $4,000 acres, and
the amount of seed corn mentioned
is enough to seed this acreage for
next spring. The selection of this
amount of seed corn will insure
farmers against a repetition of such
seed corn shortage as occurred in
the spring of 1918.
Every farmer will be called on to
select one bushel of seed corn for
every six acres he puts into corn, and
he will be urged also to select lib
eral margin over this amount to give
a chance for reselection in the spring
after testing this corn for germina-
ton before planting.

pistols but lost them all during the
long hiking into Germany.
"It will be remembered that at one
time there was report that he had
been wounded and was in the hospit-
al. There were three Ericksons in
the company and one of these boys
was shot through the thigh as it was
reported Hank was, and also was
wounded by a piece of shrapnel which
struck him near the eye, and in the
hurry after the fight the company
clerk got the wrong Erickson on the
wounded list"

Russian Ermine.

The Russian ermine is a weasel
like animal whose fur is used for
the facings and Innings of the
robes Of office of certain dignitar-
les. The animal Of this species.
which furnishes the fur most
priced. is found exclusively in Rus
STA and Siberia. for il is only in
these countries that the fur be-
comes sufficiently white to be Of
great commercial value. For many
years it has been used by royalty
and by the highest JUICES for the
ornamentation of their official gar
ments. the purity OF its Wilderness
being considered emblematic OF in
tegrity and incoErUptibility. Dur
ing the summer season the Rus
sian ermine is light reddish
brown on the upper part OF the
body and a sort Of cream tint un-
derneath. At the approach of win
ter the short thick fur changes TO
q delicate creamy white. excepting
at the tip OF the tail. where it is
black. 1t is these tips sewn
through the fur that give II the
rich contrast Of black and white.
