Seed Corn Time,
Sept. 10 to 20
FARMERS ARE URGED TO SCOUR
FIELDS AND SELECT CHOICE
EARS.

The time for the selection of seed
corn is rapidly approaching and Min
nesota farmers are again being ad-
vised to attend to this annual task,
which will insure them seed of good
quality for next years planting.
September 10 to 20 is recommended
by experiment station and agricul-
tural extension men of the University
of Minnesota for Seed Corn Time in
this state.
The best time to select seed corn is
when the leaves of the plants are still
green, the husks beginning to turn
yellow and the ears weH dented, ac-
cording to A. C. Army of University
Farm. "When the seed ears are
selected from the plants as they are
maturing" he says, 'the choice can be
made on sound basis to maintain
or increase the yielding power of the
variety, while at the same time dis
ease can be recognized and avoided"
The university men believe that
Seed Corn Time is none too early to
plan for the harvest Of 1924. Some
of the cardinal principles to be observ-
ed. are, they say: Selection from
fields adapted to the locality; selec-
tion before severe frosts of about
twice as many ears needed for plant
ing; storing the corn at once in a
dry, well ventilated place where it
will cure quickly and remain dry.

County Board to
Consider Ditch
SLEEPY EYE CREEK FINAL
HEARING TO BE HELD
SEPTEMBER 11th.

On the 11th of September the board
of Redwood County commissioners
will hold the final hearing on County
Ditch No. 81 sometimes referred to
as the Sleepy Eye creek ditch 1t is
the largest ditch ever considered in
Redwood county, the original cost in
cluding damages being in excess of
$1,677, 100000. At present construc-
tion costs the expense would be re-
duced considerable but still would be
possibly million and a half dollars.
The final hearing was to have been
held last year but was adjourned until
August 18th pending further develop
ments, and at that time further ad-
journment was taken until September
11th. 1t is said that there is a move
to drop the proceedings providing
those for and against the ditch can
arrive at some definite agreement as
to the settlement and payment of ex-
pense already incurred which amounts,
it is said, to $4,000. Nothing in the
official proceedings indicated any rea-
son for further adjournment but un-
doubtedly the board is anxious to do
whatever is best and at the same
time satisfy the large majority of in
terested parties if possible, so every
opportunity is being given the several
hundred farmers effected to arrive at
some agreement if they can.
The project was proposed four years
ago and preliminary proceedings
started in 1919. 1t proved to be
tremendous ditch project for county
ditch and covered a wider scope than
its originators intended.
The engineering job was a big one
and has already cost the county about
$4,000.
The area affected exceeds $4,000
acres. There are approximately 400
miles of tile and open ditch work, in
cluding the main ditch and its laterals
and branches. The, ditch would ex-
tend through six townships, starting
in the vicinity of Milroy and follow
ing the Sleepy Eye creek until a
short distance north of Wanda. Seven
townships contain land affected by the
project.
According to the engineers and
viewers reports there are over 400
farmers, who would be assessed for
benefits in case the ditch is establish
ed. The original benefies to be as
sessed against the farms and town
ships are said to be about $2,000,000.
The original cost of the ditch, includ-
ing damages, was estimated at ST.
677,018.52. The proceedings have
however covered such period of time
with its readjustment of construction
costs, tile, labor, ETC., that the origin
al figures of cost do not apply now.
The objectors to the ditch have had
lawyers working on the matter for
some time and they have tried to
crystalize sentiment against the ditch
to point that all parties would reach
some amicable agreement on the ex-
pense and drop the project but it is
possible that this plan has not met
with smooth sailing, at least it seems
to be taking long time. In addition

Bankers Hold
Annual Picnic
BASEBALL GAME HELD AFTER
DINNER WAS SPIRITED con-
TEST. OFFICIALS SCORED.

According to information received
the Bankers picnic that was held in
Ramsey State Park was a great af-
fair. Bankers and their families from
Redwood and surrounding counties
came in for festive day. A picnic
dinner was served at noon and from
all reports there were "some eats"
Immediately after dinner a baseball
game was held. It is said that the
game will go down in history, and
shat it compared favorably with some
that have been played in the World
Series. If John McGraw could only
sign up some of the participants in
Mondays game he would have the
1924 pennant as good as won.
The Gazette is told that the score

ing the lowest score on each hole.
The final score stood "a points for
Springfield and 80 for Redwood Falls.
