Seed Corn Time. Sept. 1920

The shortness of the season in Min
nesota makes it necessary for the
corn growers to give special atten-
ton to securing early maturing seed
corn of good vitality.
We normally have a killing frost
not later than September 20 so the
University of Minnesota. has set
Sent, 1920 as Seed Corn Time.
Corn saved then, if the most ma
tured ears are selected, will be more
ikey to mature before frost the next
year than if the corn is selected later.
Seed corn selected Sept. 1920 has
plenty of time to dry out before
freezing weather and is less likely
to be injured during storage. Corn
left unhusked in the field will not
dry out thoroughly.
The fall of 1918, as result of
the seed corn campaign put on by
the Farm Bureau enough seed corn
was saved early to plant the 1919
crop and this when it was hard
year to select seed corn.
In 1919 there was a splendid corn
crop and the corn was mature so
that it would have been easy to have
saved the seed corn during seed corn
time. Very few did so, however,
with the result that little was select
ed at the time of the blizzard and
freezing weather which struck us
about October 20. Many who saved
seed corn after that time found this
spring that their seed corn would
not grow. In the last two years we
have had or 4 such experiences.
Everyone knows this to be true and
we are merely calling their atten-
ton to the matter hoping that it
will be more generally practiced this
year.
The Extension Division, University
Farm, offers the following sugges-
tions:
First-That every corn-grower
select seed corn during Seed Corn
Time, September 1920.
Second-That this seed be select

ed from field of corn adapted to
the locality. If one hasn't such corn
on his own farm, he can get per-
mission to select seed from a neigh
boris field, paying for the corn, of
course.
Third-That the selected seed corn
be stored in a dry, we'll ventilated
place where it will dry out quickly
and stay dry.
Fourth-That fifty ears of corn for
each acre to be planted the following
year be selected. This will provide
enough corn so that careful re-
selection may be made next spring.
Remember these suggestions, and

Facts You Know
About Certain-teed

Certain-teed Roofing has made good
everywhere. When you buy Certain
teed you know exactly what you are
getting.
You don't have to take anybody's word
for it. You don't have to taste it or
smell it or twist it or tear it. Those
tests are pure bunk anyway.
All you have to do is to see the name
Certain-teed on roofing to know that it
is good roofing.
Certain-teed Roofing has never been
known to wear out on the roof. It is
guaranteed for S, 10 or IS years, &C
Cording to weight. It is weather-proof,
fire-retarding and opark-proof.
Now, what do you know about private

Don't Take a Chance

Why guess on the merits of private
brand roofing? It may be alright, but
can you afford to take chance?
If you are willing to buy cheap roofing,
get it at a fair price. We make third
grade roofing, called Guard Roofing,
which gives satisfaction where long life
is not required. It is priced and sold
strictly on the basis of third-grade roof
ing-and it looks as good as any.
Any responsible dealer can get either
Certain-teed or Guard for you quickly
from a nearby Certain-teed warehouse
or jobber He gets it when he wants it
and he gets what he wants. He can
afford to sell you at fair price.

Dog Attacks Three Men.

A battle between three men and
a savage dog was staged at Dewitt
early Monday morning at the door
of the farmers store.
G. H. Christensen attempted to
drive away the dog which was
threatening patrons who tried to en-
ter the store. The dog showed
fight, and Christensen armed him
self with club and the battle began.
The dog charged Christensen re-
peatedly and he had all he could do
to defend himself. Joe Bloom, a
bystander, entered the fray and was
bitten on the hand. Then Jack
Moore, the town marshal, appeared
upon the scene.
The dog charged the officer, who
fired four times before he could stop
the enraged beast He was bitten on
the hand before he could kill the
dog.

Can't Find His jug Now.

Long ago, when conditions were
different and the law permitted a
man to make himself little "oh be
joyful" Ernest Fox, of Woodbine,
ground up lot of grapes and turned
them into wine. He buried jug of
the juice near the house and forgot
all about it until recently, when he
made an effort to find the jug and
its contents, but he has forgotten
just where to locate its burial place
and has given up the search. Now
that the glad news is out Ernest can
look for mysterious searching par
ties on his farm every day and night
as no doubt there will be plenty who
will make a try for the jug. A jug
of 3-year-old wine is worth $1,000
900 to some people these days.

Bows Sent TO Penitentiary.


Quick dispatch of Justice was con-
sumated last Thursday when How
ard Rocker and Carl .Iough, the two
youths in the Jail for auto thievery
and bound over to the next grand
jury, were sentenced by Judge M. f..
Hutchison.
During the week the two told the
sheriff they were ready to plead
guilty and on Thursday the judge
came. They were brought before
Judge Hutchison in the clerks Of
flee with a county attorneys infor-
nation and pleaded guilty to a
charge of larceny. They were both
given five years in the Anamosa re-
formatory and on Friday were taxi
en- there in charge of Sheriff H. Y.
Jansen and II. J. Conway.
Three weeks ago the boys were ar
rested in Sioux City and taken to
Carroll. They waived preliminary
hearing in justice court and were
bound over 20 the grand jury. They
were thought to be the ones who
stole a Ford sedan from the Great
Western park in Manning one night
in October. 1t is this crime they
plead guilty to. When arrested in
Sioux City they were driving the
stolen car.
Their decision to plead guilty was
hurried by the fear that they might
be indicted for other offenses. There
seems to be no question they are the
persons who stole a car belonging to
Ira Small of Dedham the same Sun
day night the sedan was stolen. The
boys were members of a gang operat-
ing out OF Sioux City and entered
plea of guilty rather than have more
develop concerning their crime re-
cords.
When arrested Rocker gave his
name as Harry Rogers, and Hough
gave the alias Of Carl Wilson. Both
are about twenty years of age.

Sue TO Recover Own Land.

When the Rock Island spent half
a million building railroad from
Winterset to Greenfield, good
share of the money was used to &C
quire the right of way. After the
grade was half completed the road
abandoned the project.
The Iowa law makes provision
that an unused railroad right of way
reverts to the original owner in eight
years. The Rock Island sold the
right of way to Isaac Ketman.
In the Madison county district
court in the case of Wilson VS.. Ket-
man, Clark Wilson of Webster town
ship, asks that the title Of the UNI
used right OF way through his farm
be quieted and the land revert to
him. The case was tried by Judge
Dugan, who has the matter under
Amusement.
The case is of unusual Importance
as the decision will affect most of
the right of way between Winterset
and Greenfield and runs into thous-
ands of dollars.

Camn Soon to BE Sold.


The war department has ordered
that Camp Dodge be sold and bids
are to be advertised for at once ask
ing for some wrecking concern to
take over the whole business. Here
is a complete city capable of caring
for $4,000 men. There is a fine
water system, miles of paved streets,
sewer, and electric lights. A theatre,
community club house, library, tele-
phone office and a remount equip
ment capable of stabling 10000
horses and mules. An interurban
railway system with ample yardage
encircles the grounds. A hospital
covering 81 acres of ground, fire
stations, swimming pool and shower
baths by the thousand. To attempt
to restore it to farms again looks
like an endless task. A fine paved
highway connects the camp with the
city of Des Moines some twelve miles
distant. There are over 1000 build
ings. all provided with suitable
plumbing and water connections.
Des Moines was selected as the site
of an army camp on May IT, 1917,
and early in June work on Camp
Dodge started. Four thousand men
with a weekly payroll totalling more
than S100, 900 were employed. Work
on the camp was completed about
October 1, 1917. 1t cost the govern
ment 100000 and the impression
is that less than one million will
take it when it is put up at auction.
Elk Horn Land Mark Removed.
The past week has seen the pass
ing of a land mark at Elk Horn
which is almost as famous as the
large elm on the old Hamlin place in
Audubon county. 1t is the old depot
livery barn.
Years ago the town pointed with
pride to the structure, but modern
inventions put the livery business
in the discard and the building be-
came an eyesore to the prosperous
little village and like other old
things it had to go.
The razing of this building is a
good beginning to the cleaning up
which the town sadly needs. II
stranger enters the town by any Of
the highways, a pleasing sight greets
his eyes. But not so to those who
have their first glimpse Of the town
from the depot. The alley back OF
the business houses is a dumping
ground for all kinds of machinery
and junk which has passed their per-
iod of usefulness.
The old livery barn was formerly
one Of the buildings on the Rasmus
Hansen farm and here all the town
boys gathered to play pirates, bur-
glars and desperadoes. In late years,
| it is whispered, the older people
have used the same structure for
other games.
