grams that were taken to the MANY
communities in the county. Reels
that were instructive, reels that were
filled with romance and reels that
had a touch of comedy were shown
to farmers and farmers children that
have little opportunity of seeing at
fractions of this nature, due to the
long distances from town, poor me-
thods of transportation and lack of
means. Durinng the season thus far
10 shows have been put on and there
was a total attendance of 28O0 at
all of these meetings.
There are many chronic kickers in
the the farmers class who think that
the above mentioned service costs
too much for the good that they do.
However, it is plain to be seer that
these farmers do not sit down with
a pencil or come to the administra-
tive source of such service to see *
actly what is beingt done and what it
costs. The service under normal
conditions averages about rs cents
a year to each farmer which is neg
ligible compared with what they get,
and it is found that most farmers CO.
operate in one form or another.
Some farmers are of the opinion that
this 75c a year that they spend to-
wards the support of the county ex-
tention work should bring them in
several hundred percent on the capt
tai invested or in other words they
imagine that the county agent should
have the ability to give Individual

SELECT SEED CORN
EARLY AS POSSIBLE
NATIVE SEED MEANS SUCCESS
TO ROOSEVELT COUNTY
CORN GROWERS

Corn is coming on rapidly these
autumn days, and incidently the first
danger period is approaching. 1t is
highly essential for Montana, corn
growers to save a generous supply
of seed corn before severe frosts
have a chance to destroy or greatly
damage the seed of adapted var
ieties which is so important to corr
raisers in all sections Of Montana.
Seed Corn selection means con-
tinued improvement in corn produc-
ton in Montana and with our limi-
tations we cannot afford to ignore
any factor that means progress in
establishing a crop as important as
corn. Because of the varied china
tic conditions existing in different
parts of the state the above factor
becomes doubly important.
Roosevelt County is making grad
ual progress in expansion of the corn
acreage and growers cannot afford
to place any handicap on this ex-
~pansion by not selecting their home
grown seed. Imported seed each
wear only means disappointment
and failure in the end. Carefully
selected seed of adapted varieties
means success. Give your orr crop
the attention due it. Usually we
handicap it by late seeding, but we
cannot continue to handicap it by
haphazard seed selection and hope
to get satisfactory development.
Flint corn will soon be ready for
seed selecting. Whenever the kerr
nels commence to glaze get in to
field and pick seed and with
dent varieties as soon as the
kernels dent. Pick enough for two
seasons so in case something hap
pens your efforts on Improvement
are not wasted. Don't delegate this
Job to the hired a Do it your
self and study your field so that you
NAV get the best seed stock available.
An ordinary grain sack fixed 50
can be carried over the shoulder
a convenient bag to gather it
in. Select ears from average plants,
not those that have had some advant-
ages. Keep away from the highly
set ears. Earliness and low ears are
one of natures provisions. Follow
her dictations. Avoid the big beauti-
full ears. Get those of average size
and watch out for those pointing
upward which naturally accumulate
moisture. A medium shank, not too
.ong or thick is desirable.
By selecting while the corn is still
standing in the field you have the
opportunity to observe these charac-
5eristics and make a proper selec-
ton which cannot be done otherwise.
Don't put it off. Do it early, before
any danger of frost.
After selecting take carr of the
next years crop by thoroughly dry
ing and storing in a dry place.
Every corr grower in Roosevelt
County should feld-seIect enough
for his own use and one or two
1eighbors for the next two years.
This is the cheapest form of crop in
;urance and e success with corn.
