SOUTH ST. PAUL MEN FORM
COMMITTEE TO ASSIST SHIP
PERS OF STOCK AND GRAIN.

Local bankers have received, with
in the past week, the following letter
from Jay E. Markle, vice president of
the Stock Yards National Bank at So.
st. Paul.
Gentlemen:
Last year considerable difficulty
arose on account of the car situation
and while today there appears to be
plenty of cars to move livestock, we
believe this is occasioned by the fact
that very few shipments are being
made at this time.
However, within the next sixty days
we know positively that there will be
a tremendous demand for cars and
the railroads will be unable to fur
nish enough to meet this demand.
A committee, consisting of South
st. Paul men who are vitally interest
ed in the live stock business, have TAX
en- charge of the car situation, and If
at any time you are unable to OBJ
tain cars, or have any difficulty in
getting satisfaction from the Rail
road Company, and cannot get results
take this matter up with anyone Of
the Committee, or with Mr.. S. A.
Johnson, the Chairman, and we as a
whole will do our utmost to be of as
sistance to you in this respect.
Following is a list of the Commit
tee: S. A. Pohnson, Chairman; Don
Slater, 7. R. Jones, T. F. Hughes, o.
r. Gurney, Jay f. Markle, l.. w

Yours very truly,

CELEBRATION GIVEN ON FIFTY
EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF
SIOUX BATTLE AT FORT
(From SPRINGFIELD Press. J


On Monday, August 23rd, the Fort
Ridgely State Park and Historical as
sociation celebrated the 58th anniyer-
sary of the siege of Fort Ridgely by
.zthe Sioux Indians in 1862, which was
'Mttended by number from this vi
Dinity, who state that they enjoyed it
Immensely.
The exercises were opened with an
invocation by Rev. Hughes of Sleepy
Eye, after which the Fairfax band
rendered several musical selections.
After short interval Judge Hughes
of Mankato gave historical account
of the battle of Fort Ridgely, stating
that the Indians had planned sur
prise attack on the fort, but were re-
pulsed by the defenders, whereupon
they proceeded down the valley, des-
troying all the settlers homes be-
tween the fort and New Ulm, where
they were again repulsed after stub
born fight. A great number of white
people were massacred at that time
and had it not been for reinforcements
arriving at New Ulm at that time,
the losses would have been enormous
and the outcome appalling. After
their reverses at New Ulm the red
skins returned to the fort with a ven-
geance, but were again overpowered
and from that time on moved further
to the west, and the valley again re-
turned to peaceful state. Several of
the aged veterans then related some

Only seven states in the union pro-
duce annually more bushels of corn
than Minnesota. Minnesota has made
splendid progress in cOrn-groWing in
the last ten years. In 1909 1,690,000
acres were planted to corn, yielding
5S,812,000 bushels. In 1919, 100000
acres of corn were planted, producing
118,000,000 bushels.
Minnesotas one handicap IN corn
growing is the shOrtness of the sea-
son. The handicap imposes need of
special care and attention on corn
growers. Because of this handicap,
the Minnesota Agricultural College
has for number of years called spe-
cial attention to Seed Corn Time, Sep
tember 1920, and has advocated the
selection of seed corn at that time.
The reason for this are:
First-We normally have killing
frost in the state not later than Sep
tember 90 Corn that has matured
before that time, is likely to mature
before that time the following year,
while if one waits and selects corn
later in the fall, he is likely to get
corn that did not mature until Octo-
Der | or later, and such corn planted
the following year is not likely to ma
ture until October /, or later, and,
therefore, is likely to be hit by frost
before it has matured.
Second-Seed corn selected Septem-
ber 1920 has ample time to dry out
before freezing weather. Freezing
does not injure seed corn if it is dry,
but it does injure it if it is not dry.
Corn, of course, will not dry out thor
oughly when left unhusked in the
field.
A Good Example.
The year 1919 was a splendid corn
year in Minnesota and a splendid yield
was secured. Many farmers feeling sure
that they could get seed in their fields
any time, kept busy at other things
and did not save seed corn until husk-
ing time A regular blizzard and
freezing weather struck the state
about October 20. Many who saved
seed corn after that time found this
spring that their corn would not grow.
In the last ten years we have had
three or four such experiences.
We realize that what we say is not
new to Minnesota corn-growers. Ev-
eryone knows it, but not enough prac-
ice Seeu corn SSIeCLJHS aJ the TlSnL
time, so we send this letter to sew
eral thousand corn-growers. merely as
suggestion:
First-1hat every corn-grower Sc
lect his seed corn during Seed Corn
Time, September 1920.
Second-That this seed be selected
from field of corn adapted 10 the
locality, If one hasn't such corn on
his own farm, he can get permission
to select seed from neighbor field,
paying for the corn, Of course.
Third-That the selected seed corn
be stored in dry, well ventilated
place where it will dry out quickly
and stay dry.
Fourth-That fifty ears Of corn for
each acre to be planted the follow
ing year be selected. This will pro-
vide enough corn so that careful re-
selection may be made next spring.
Remember these suggestions, ami
select seed corn at Seed Corn Time.
