Station Tries to Find Best Corn
Varieties

With the aim Of determining &C.
curately what types Of corn are best
adapted to the soil and climate of
each locality, the Minnesota Agri-
cultural Experiment Station is pre-
pairing for its second year Of corn
variety trials in southern Minneso-
ia The project was begun in 1880,
with some Sc different varieties
tested at the branch experiment
station at Waseca, and also on
farms in Rice, Blue Earth, Fari-
bault, Cottonwood, Mobiles and Rock
counties.
Included in the Sc varieties were
five entered by the experiment sta
ton, consisting Of two Of the new
double-crossed strains, Waseca Sill
yer King, and two commercial va
rieties. The other 81 were varieties
grown locally by farmers and be-
lieved to be Of outstanding quality
and yielding ability. Besides find
ing the type Of corn best adapted
to each locality, the trials, there
fore, aim to locate desirable high
yielding strains Of corn now being
grown by farmers; and second, to
test experiment station varieties
and hybrids more generally thru
out the corn growing region.
Work will be carried on in the
same counties and at the Waseca
station this year and in succeeding
years with the same varieties, in an
attempt to get record of from 3
to 5 years on each. The five sta
ton varieties are grown at all the
test locations, while each individual
farmers variety is grown in at
least three locations, including his
home county, and adjacent county,
and the experiment station at Wa
SEGA. All varieties on any given
plot are handled exactly alike, and
yields Of three stalks per hill.
Yields are figured in bushels of
shelled corn per acre, on the basis
Of IA per cent moisture. The aver
age Of the three plots for each va
riety Is used as the yield for that
entry.
Wide variations in the yielding
ability Of the different varieties was
shown last year. The So varieties
at the Weseca station ranged in
yields from IS to IS bushels per
acre. Large variations were also
shown in each of the six counties,
the greatest being in Faribaut
where yields on "a varieties ranged
from 40 to SO bushels. Because of
the abnormal moisture and wealth
er conditions during 1880, any con-
illusions drawn from the yields
must be tempered by' information
gained in future trials, says Charles
w. Doxtator, corn breeder Of the
University Farm staff, who super
vised this project in cooperation
with r. c. Hodgson, superintendent
Of the Waseca station.
Mr.. Doxtator adds that it is not
expected to find any one best va
riety which nay be recommended
to the exclusion Of the others. It
should be possible, however, after 8
to years, to obtain some idea Of
the type Of corn adapted for var
ious parts Of southern Minnesota,
and also to obtain reliable yield da-
ia Of farmers variety selections and
on the experiment station strains
and hybrids.

lions in Scott and Dakota counties.

lions In Scott and Dakota counties.
According to County Agent Ray
Aune, the high herd in the Scott
county association made 52.2 cents
per hour returns for labor above
feed cost while the average Scott
county herd paid It's keeper only
1875 cents per hour. The average
returns for all members Of the test
ing association was 42.3 cents per
hour.
The Dakota county statement,
compiled by w. e. Watson, county
agent, showed even more striking
comparisons, being based on whole
milk prices. The return above feed
cost for the high herd in Dakota
was 63 cents per hour, as against
8 cents for the average herd of the
county. Members Of the dairy herd
improvement associations received
an average return of 33 cents.
In general, these figures check
closely with those for the entire
state in 1880. For, all of Minnesota,
a herd averaging 400 pounds of
butterfat per COW returned So
cents above feed cost for each
hour of, labor spent, while a 200
pound herd, which Is the state av-
erage, n returner only IT cents.
These figures are based on 40 cent
butterfat, and would have to be re-
duced by Is per cent to conform
with the present 30-cent price, says
H. r. Searles, dairy specialist, Un-
versity Farm.
Mr.. Searles adds that low pro-
ducing cows, those making 100 to
125 pounds Of butterfat, paid only
2 cents per hour above feed cost
for labor in 1880, making about So
for the year. This year, however,
the man who wants to work with
this kind Of cow will have to pay
about 3 cents hour for the privi-
lege. On ITO hours Of labor, the
average required for a COW the loss
will be about 81.
Dairymen who would Just as
soon work with good cows and
bank the difference, may Gull out
the low ones by testing through
the Statewide Cow Testing as
ISOLATION, with headquarters at
University Farm. The cost Is but
SIS year, for herds of 10 cows or
less. County agents can provide
further information, or a booklet
giving all the details may be had
by writing the Agricultural Extern
son Division University Farm, st.
Paul.

Condition of So. America Repub-
lies. Population handicap to Stable
Government, and Political Paroles"
To thoroughly understand condi-
tons in South America one must
compare the various aspects re-
lated with those of Northa Amer
ica- North America has made rapid
strides because the Anglo Saxons
were an ambitious, religious family
loving people with knowledge Of
self government. The Latin Ameri-
cans settling in South America
were adventurous, money loving,
defiant and with no high ideals of
government or beneficial colonial
ton in mind. The Anglo Saxons
soon brought their families while the
Latin Americans sought only gold
and power, while inter marrying
with the Indians. AS a result Of
contrasting conditions United
States established a successful
stable self government with a
European trade while South Amer
lea remained a country of hatred
between the conquerors and the
conquered. The Mestezos, a mixed
race Of Indian and Spanish origin
were mostly represented in ignor-
ance and deeply hated by the
naughty castilions in Spain. For
200 years these people had no
stable government. The Mestezos
and Creoles (the purely bred
Spaniard) might have developed
beneficial conditions but Spain
her hold fearing, an up
rising for freedom as was taking
place in North America.
However the South Americans
fought for their freedom and the
first of the Indian countries to es-
tablish a republic was in 1910. BY
1925 there were 16 republics with a
lack Of preparation for self-govern-
ment and previously in servitude
these people have found it difficult
to properly govern themselves.
Different geographical conditions,
mixed races, and varied economical
developments have disturbed pro.
gress. The big problem today is
the political and economic not the
color question. All these have
come about thru the out-growth Of
historical conditions. Financial diff
ficulties have developed from vast
scenes for public Improvement.
American bankers should stand
ready to aid South America in her
strife for political and public i'm
provement. England has always
been helpful and interested in
South America and as a result to-
day is reaping a good trade with
South American Republics. Be
cause Of our increasing strife for
power and our war with Mexico in
1846, South America looks with dis
trust upon our interest.
