The period consisting of the
.srst three months of 1921 was the
earnest on record, and the aver
sc snowfall was the least. The
5yers were open during most of
he winter. There was very little
snow cover, but wheat came

Guiding a damaging general wind,

lad in the history of the Illinois
section obtained from May II to the
end OF July.
Corn made rapid growth, but
spring sown grains deteriorated.
Nav and July were too dry for

from wind, hail and lightning dur
ing the spring and summer. Killing
trosts came in October and No
Tember, but corn was safe by the
end of September. However, there
was much damage to the crop
from other causes. Satisfactory
progress was made with farm work
during the autumn, and pastures
and meadows were unusually good.
There was very little snow cover
during the closing months of the
year, but wheat continued in good
condition. A damaging ice storm
occurred in the central counties in
December.
Beats Record.
The mean temperature and abso-
lutte minimum for 1921 were much
higher than in any previous year.
aud the snowfall was the least of
record. At Marengo and Peoria,
the mean temperature was two and
half degrees higher than that of
any Of the last sc years. The pre-
cipitation was above normal at all
but five stations, the exceptions
being in the southern division.
There were several areas with
positive values of more than five
inches, and at two stations the ex-
cess reached Is inches. Generally
speaking, the totals were least in
the west-central and northeastern
portions, and greatest in the ex-
IRENE south. The snowfall totals
we're greatest in the extreme north,
and least in the vicinity of st.
Louis, Mo-, but there were good
amounts near the Ohio river. The
extremes were A inches in Lake

ON SEED
CORN SHORTAGE
AND HEAT TWO
THINGS NECESSARY TO sue
CESS, SAYS n. f.. JOHNSTON.

Brookings. eSpt 23-"Ventila-
ton and heat are the two things
necessary to successful seed corn
storage" says Ralph r. Johnston,
extension agronomist at tate college.
ANY place that has good roof, is
dry and has plenty of ventilation is
satisfactory for storing seed.
THE chief problem in storing
seed corn is to provide means
whereby the moisture content cen
be reduced TO the point where the
germ is not injured by freezing
weather. and that it remains this
way until planting time. OF the
corn picked early enough, properly
hung and in a dry, airy place. there
is usually no need for artificial heat
Never store corn in sacks, piles
or by placing one row of ears i'm
mediateiy on top Of another. Leave
some air space around each ear.
There are many different meth
DDS of storing seed corn. There is
the binding twine method by which
the ears are laid on the twine, cross
ing the cords each time after the cal
is laid in place and altering the
butts and tips. Ten or IL ears ar,
put in each string. There are wire
racks of various kinds with both
vertical and horizontal. strands
There are various kinds of tree oI
post systems by which ears are at
tached to nails which have beer
driven in or through posts or board:
in an upright slanting manner
There are a number of homer.adt
lath racks which are satisfactory
also homemade wire hangers MA /,
from No. 9 woven wire fencing ant
various kinds of patented and fac
tory made wire hangers. Or III,
husky can be retained on the cars
after first being drawn back, theI
tying several ears together ant
placing them over wires strung fr N
one rafter to another"

was felt throughout the city, treat
mass of rock forming what was a
part of the wall of a great open cut
of the Homestake Mining comtany

200 feet.
There was a great cloud of dust
attending the dislodging and falling
of the mass of rocn, this hanging
over the spot for several minutes
For several weeks it was momen-
tarily expected the overhanging por-
tion of the wall, which was as large
as a large dwelling house, would fall
and curious people during the Gay
time have watched it and speculat-
ed on when it would be dislodged
and come tumbling into the open cut
200 feet below.
Heavy rains finally weakened the
supporting brackets of rock and
earth and the giant mass of rock
dropped into the open cut,
