IowanS Watch Progress Hero
Iowans have followed with inter-
est and Surprise the progress OF corn
growing in North Dakota, H. D.
Hughes Of the Iowa state college,
Ames, said in tall. this afternoon
at the show.
Records set by North Dakota corn
growers "mcan everything in diver
styling the agricultural production
Of the Dakotas," the speaker
averred.
1--WE have marv led at the results
that were being secured from corn
up here in the Dakotas," Professor
Hughes said. 1--WE have watched
the average increase with almost
unbelievable rapidity through the
years, and the yields, un-
der similar conditions, in
crease Is the use Of the better vari-
eties and strains become more gen.
eral. From 25lo0 acres in 1900 we
have observed That by 1910 there
was 200, 900; by 1920, $4,000; and
by 1925 over . million acres with >
farm value in > single year OF over
$20, 900 900.
State Furnishes Best Varieties
The speaker pointed out that some
Of the heaviest producing varieties
of corn available for this part o& the
country-the varieties which can be
depended on to yield one year with
another and VIII get ripe-trace
back to corn grown and Velected
here through scores of years before
by the different Indian tribes. Per
haps the best example, he said, are
the Dakota White Flint and the
Gehu.
As producers Of crops, the farm
ers' interest must IL 9TH two en-
tirely distinet groups Of problems:
economical and eIficient production
| and satisfactoFy marketing.
The producsrs q crop and sni-
NAL products, constituting 3 POI

States, are receiving onl. shout q
