GAS long as tthe private bankers
who are fighting us are allowed to re-
tain control of our money our battle
for a cooperative marketing system
and more adequate credit is almost
hopeless" said Chairman A. A. Lied
erbach of the Nonpartisan League
state executive committee, recently.
"And as long as the members of the
League and everybody else who have
taken part in the battle for justice
for the producer, continue to deposit
their money and do business with the
private bankers the latter will have
control Of our financial system.
"There is no longer any excuse for
the people of North Dakota deposit
ing their money in unfriendly private
banks. The Bank of North Dakota Of
fers the only absolutely safe deposi-
tary for private as we'll as public
funds to be found in the United States
today. It's services are at the command
of every citizen in North Dakota.
Every person who believes in justice
for the producer and fair play should
deposit his or her money in the Bank
of North Dakota.
"The Bark of North Dakota offers
ample facilities for ordinary checking
accounts ard pays three percent inter-
est on daily balances. It pays five per-
cent on time deposits. The entire re-
sources of the state of North Dakota
are behind this bank There is no 9TH
er bank In the United States that can
offer such absolute security for every
cent deposited in it.
'The private deposits in the Bank
Of North Dakota are steadily increas-
ing. No check drawn on an individuals

of freight from his. local station. OF
course, there is also delucted several
commissions for handling the prod
ucts. He pointed out that any increase
or decrease in the cost Of transporta-
ton is reflected directly by an in
crease or decrease in the amount OF
money which the farmer receives for
his product. In addition to paying
freight on the commodities which he
produces he also bears the freight
charge on the great amount OF prod
ucts which he consumes or uses in pro-
ducing crops. II
Mr.. Howard maintained that the ex-
cessive reilroad rates were largely re-
sponsible for the dilemma in which
Agriculture finds itself and he stated
! that. the present cost of production
and the high transportation rates
would cause the farmers to produce
fewer crops next year. Even with con-
IditiOns assthey are at present in many

Seed Corn Week
September S to 10
Why Pick Your Own Seed Corn7

why i I'm xVuA OWA OCCN SVAAs
There are a great many reasons
why home grown seed corn should be
picked and possibly the chief reason is
that the whole future of the corn in
dustry depends on it. Time was when
it was considered impractical to grow
corn in South Dakota, Minnesota and
even Iowa. It was found, however, that
corn rapidly adjusted itself to clim-
attic conditions and soon became a
staple crop. One of the chief factors in
the acclimatization of corn, however,
was the saving of seed from year to
year. If the farmers Of the corn belt
should have imported their seed corn
every year from some other region,
it is doubtful if this crop would have
gained it's present Importance even in
the corn belt. w t<4
North Dakota Fast Becoming Corn
.,-. - State,
North Dakota is fast forging to the
front as corn state. Only in recent
years has corn been successfully ma
tured in different sections of the
state. The reason why it can be done
now is that rigid seed selection has
been practiced in the different variet-
les adapted to the conditions of the
state rather than expecting conditions
Of the state to adapt itself to the corn.
Several farmers in Bottineau county
who planted home grown seed corn
have much better fields of corn than
their neighbors. Fields of Northwest
ern Dent and White Dent planted from
home grown seed around the Goth Of
May produced roasting ears before
August 1st. "a ~ ..a. ~
Don't Put Off Picking Seed
Our intentions are usually good.
Picking seed corn tho, is somewhat
like taking swim in cold water-we
keep putting it off. Now let every
farmer who has good corn make a
resolution to pick enough seed corn
during the week Of Sept. 5th for at
least his own next years use and that
of one Of his neighbors.
A Few Seed Corn Pointers
\ /. A comfortable sling can be made
to pick seed corn in by tying two corn
ers of grain bag almost together
with string and hanging it over the
shoulder, opening forward.
2. Pick medium sized well developed
ears. "-j.
8. Don't pick abnormally large ears.
4. Choose ears from strong sturdy
stalks, with ears as far from the
ground as possible. -.:.,. o
5. Hang them up in cool well ven
tilated place to dry.
6. Test during the winter
F Corn isShere to stay. Let everyone
get their shoulder to the wheel and
help make corn a profitable crop for
the farmers; sure winter feed for
the livestock; and an advertisement
for the county that will bring in pro-
gressive settlers for some Of our va
cant land.-C. B. Aamodt, Co. Agent.
