Neb. The sale is said to have been a
great success, buyers from many states
being present. Twenty-Five bred sows
and three boars were sold. The top of
the sale was $316, and the average was
$40. Hans Brodersen, of lakewood
farm, near Denison, purchased two of
the animals, and D. r. Williams, of
Charter Oak, purchased one. The asso-
citation rendered the visitors a banquet
in the evening. Il

vicinity Of Sheldon and northwestern
Iowa. The place will be used for the
breeding OF Holstein cattle. After dis
posing Of the land Mr.. Rensink pur-
chased ninety acres just east Of it,
known as the Webster-P dairy
farm. for $500 per acre. He purchased

PLANT ENSILAGE CORN
EARIUER IN

Planting of ensilage. corn last, instead
OF first, is an expensive mistake very
generally made in the northern portions
OF the United States, according to spe
cialists of the United States department
OF agriculture, who recommend that
strong terminating seed of ensilage va
rieties from regions farther south be
planted two or three weeks earlier than
the homegrown seed which is planted
for grain production. Such a planting
program works to the decided benefit
OF dailymen and other growers of en-
silage, corn in the northern states.
When large varieties of enslage from
as far south as Virginia or Missouri,
for example, are planted in regions far
ther north late in May, they make a
rapid, long jointed. tender, succulent
growth, and are SO green when fall
frOsts come that they are heavy to han
die. low In feeding value, and make en-.
silage which is sloppy and sour. But
when planted in April or very early
May. they make a slower, harder
growth: they better withstand spring
frosts and summer drouths. reach bet.
ter maturity, and produce more grain
than when planted later. Fall frosts,
not spring frOsts, are most to be feared.
Early maturing, home grown yari-
cites do not need such early planting
and will not be benefited in the way
that large ensilage varieties are. The
latter. though somewhat dwarfed by
very early planting, make ample stalk
growth and yield more and ripper grain
and make richer and sWeeter ensilage.
The early planting supplies the age nee
esSary for maturing and Reproduction.
Reprodnc flon is, in this case, grain pro-
ductiOn.
In growing ensilage crops in the
north one should judge the, crop by its
feedings value not by its height or its
weight or the amount of labor necessary
to Fsilo 1t.
.ss Early cultivation pays. as it. dries
and warns the soil surface. If the soil
remains wet, it stays cold and the
young corn can not grow, whereas STIR
ring causes the surface to dry rapidly.

"Bll" Shaw, in the Odebolt News. has
the following to say about Tim Raine,
who worked the j. r. Robinson farm
out in Milford township last year. Mr..
Raine has gone to Canada and, rented
a large tract of land. from Sears Nc
Henry: "Tim" Raine, who has been
farming in Odebolt and Vail territory
for several years, and moved to Canada
late in the winter, has taken a logical
and very likely a money making course
for a home in the northern scOuntry. I
recollect reading an article that Henry
Wallace wrote in WallaceS' Farmer a
number OF years ago, which seemed to
brimful of good advice to those think
ing Of moving from one locality to an.
other, or at least any great distance.
Uncle Henry's advice was that no man
who had a family ought to go to anoth.
err state or country and make a buy,
or invest very much cash until the
family had lived in the new location at
least year. The different climate, wa
ter, ETC., may not agree with one or
more members Of the family and II they
have not invested or tied themselves
down they are free to Vacate at once.
II understand Mr. Raine has taken this
precaution, and has rented 4 half sec
ton farm from some fellow down at
Denison, in fact has gone into partner
ship on the halves. Ny first acquaint-
ance with Mr. Raine was when he was
employed by Robert Miller out on his
farm northeast of Odebolt. He is on
the level and no doubt will make good
in his new home"

More than two hundred cars of live
stock were held at Carroll last Satur-
day week because Of the strike at the
Chicago stock yards. Much Of the stock
was later reshipped to Omaha, but the
loss to shippers will run up Into the
thousands Of dollars. A number of Ida
county feeders who had stock on the
road at tho time had it returned and
they are still feeding it, There were a
number of Schleswig; and Kiron ship
pers who billed their stock to Omaha as

COST OF GROWING CORN

Iowa farmers are not making large
profits on their greatest crop, corn. 4
Last year it cost the average farmer
80, cents to grow a, bushel CfHcoi'n, ac-
cording to n. r.. Munger of the farm
management department Of Iowa State
college. TO do this the farmer had to
have an average yield of 40 bushels per
acre in order to get out at that cost.
TO this SO cent cost must be added the
cost OF hauling to market. III
.'These figures are based on stand.
ard Iowa conditions said, Mr.. Nun
ger. We have placed our values in
computing this cost on these figures:
Use of land $1,000; seed so; manure
$500; labor, 10 hours at 400, $3.50;
horses, 4S hours at zoe, $3.50; equip
ment, As hours at SC, $2.40; storage and
insurance so. The costs are higher
than in 1918. but the increased value
of the land makes a. difference"
BY the time a farmer stores his crop
and markets it, there is not very much
left to be classed as profit.

LIBRARY NOTES

The library has just received a
small volume. less than 112 pages,
entitled, what Wilson Did at Paris" F"
written by Ray Stanton Baker. Mr..
Baker is known to many of our read
ers as David Grayson, the author OF
some of our most delightful American
essays. Since the outbreak of the war
Mr.. Baker has left literature and has
! taken his charming style into the field
of politics where he has combined it
with such wholesome accuracy that
! he Is one of our best magazine con-
tributors. He had charge of the press
bureau in Paris for the American
government during the time of the
making of the peace treaty. He tells
in this book the intimate story OF what
happened during that most extraordi-
nary period His information is accu-
rate and revealing; it puts into the
hands of the public the actual story
Of the difficulties, the compromises,
and the conclusions which were
reached at that time.
( We want as many people as possi-
BILE to read what Wilson Did at
Paris" In order that it may "go"
while it is new Git is just from the
press) we shall limit the time it may
/ be kept Even if you have never
borrowed books from the library telc-
! phone your name and you will be put
on the waiting list and notified as
soon as your turn comes.
There is still a large number OF
books overdue, dating back before the
holidays and the time of coal shortage.
! Look them up and get them In, each
day adds one more cent.
1t is surprising how many people
stop at the library between the hours
of $3.50 and 200 o'clock. The fact
that they cannot get in does not mean
that your librarian is having snap.
She is working hard getting material
ready for regular library hours. The
work has grown so that 1t is neces-
sary to stick to the regulation hours.
1t would be convenient and helpful to
have the library open from 8 to 9
during the school year and there is
