Special Harvest is Five Days
Ahead of Normal.

It is always wise to select seed corn
escape killing frosts. That is why the
agricultural extension division at Uni
versity Farm, st. Paul, has year after
year fixed on September 1920 as Seed
Corn Time-a period for the special
harvesting Of seed corn for the follow
ing years planting. Killing frosts do
not come in Minnesota usually until
after September 20.
This year, because of the early sea-
son and the advanced stage of the
corn crop, farmers have an extra
chance to beat the attacks of the frost
king. The corn crop has matured
earlier than usual because it got an
early start, and to get corn that will
mature in about the same number of
days next year selection should be
made somewhat earlier than usual.
Corn may have to be planted later
next year than it was planted this,
and II 1t Is not early-maturing it may
not come through in time to escape
next years frosts. FOR THESE
REASONS SEED CORN TIME THIS
YEAR HAS BEEN SET FOR
September 5-15.
So between September and Is this
fall
Select your seed corn.
Store 1t at once In a dry we'll
ventilated place where 1t will dry
quickly and stay dry.

In the Matter of the Estate of John

The Petition of Hanna Pahkamaa,
as representative of the above named
decedent, together with her final ac-
count of the administration of said
estate, having been filed in this court,
representing among other things that
she has fully administered said estate
and praying that said final account
of said administration be examined,
adjusted and allowed by the Court,
and that the Court make and enter
it's final decree of distribution of the
residue of the estate of said decedent
to the persons entitled thereto, and
for the discharge of the representa-
titive and the sureties on her bond.
1t is Ordered, That said petition
be heard, and said final account ex-
amined, adjusted, and if correct, al
lowed by the Court, at the Probate
Court Rooms in the Court House, in
the City of Duluth in said County,

all persons interested in said hearing

corn to be planted next year, In
order to give chance for re-
selecting In the spring after ger
mination tests have been made.
Whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap" as text never had
better illustration than in the SOW
ing of corn. II one sows badly shaped
grains of corn from runty, distorted,
crooked ears, which have matured
late, he will get the same kind of corn
he planted: that is, IL he gets any at
all. II. as suggested, however, he
sows late-maturing corn, the frost
king is likely to get 1t and the s0wer
to get nothing. What one should do,
according to the universal testimony
of good corn-growers, therefore, is to
select
Corn that has matured early
before kiIling-frost time-from
the standing stalks In the field.
Ears of moderate size, but shap-
ed to standards now recognized
as desirable wherever corn 10
grown.
Ears with grains having good
broad tips, giving a larger proper
ton of cob to the ear than kernels
with small pointed tips.
Having made his selection of the
kind of corn he would like to grow the
next year, one should take care of
what he has selected by seeing to it.
That It has chance to dry be-
fore killing frosts come.
That 1t has chance TO keep
dry and fairly free from extreme
cold throughout the winter.
