CORN YIELD CONTEST
Reaps So Bushels Per Acre;
Joseph Warmka and Charles
Swanson Next

Knute Oss, Bismarck, has been de-
elared the winner in the annual Bur-
leigh county five-acre corn yield con-
test.
Oss obtained a yield of SO bushels
per acre.
Joseph Warmka, Wilton, with a
rield of 81 bushels, and Charles
Swanson, Bismarck, with yield of
48 bushels, placed second and third.
Prizes of $25, SIS, and SO were
awarded to the first three place win
pers.
The contest was sponsored by the
Bismarck Association OF Commerce
under the direction Of H. O. Putnam,
county agricultural agent, and H. A.
McNutt, agricultural agent of the 500
Line Railway company.
II Entered Contest
Seventeen farmers enrolled in the
contest, their farms representing va
tious soil types from Wilton to Moi
Tit.
The average yield obtained by the
Contestants was 1927 bushels per
acre, computed on the basis of IA per
cent moisture content, which is the
standard for No. ! corn. The tests
showed that the low moisture sample
had % per cent while the high mois-
ture sample had 40 per cent, the aver
age being 80 per cent.
The project was outlined by the
Boo Line agricultural department to
demonstrate that corn Is profitable In
this region and also to encourage
farmers to raise more livestock feed

nompany, tho Oscar H. viii Seed

1aany.
Falconer was found to be the popu-
lar variety. Tho winning plot was
nlanted In Falconer. which Is semi
dent and which had its origin tr
crossing flint and dent, developed ir
the Bismarck district.
Cultural Methods Reflected
Examinations Of the fields through.
out the year indicated that the cul.
tural methods used were reflected
In the final results as much as the
soil conditions. It was found thai
where the fields were well prepared
for seeding care of the corn wa!
much easier than where the corn wa!
planted In soil Of ordinary prepara'
tion.
One Of the common faults in cul.
ture was that OF pruning or cutting
the roots with the cultivator in ar
attempt to cut deep enough to xii
late weeds. This reduces the capa
city Of the plant for absorbing mois
ture.
Twelve Of the II entrants showet
corn in the state show here las

ments In the contest.

Boston Bull with Holtyille dog Ii
cense No. 7a.

dog. Clarence w. Hinderks. chief
deputy county clerk, and told him
TO read the story. Hinderks did,
and called the police station. No.
rs was gone. Hinderks was no bet
ter off than before.

so many notable improvements
here. It is an added pleasure to
visit the valley now that the Boul-
der Dam and All-American Canal
are authorized and construction of
the dam actually begun. I am par

known intimately and in detail
your water problems. Now I rejoice
with you that you have received the

Productions of visitors at the lunch
con and incidentally made one of
the most graphic. concise and point
ed statements relative to Imperial
Valleys need ior the All-American
canal that has yet been voiced:
when Imperial Valleys water
supply crosses the Mexican border
at Andrade on its way to the valley
that water passes entirely out of
our authority. There is no tribunal
on earth that can compel Mexico
to return any part of that water to
the United States If she elects not
TO do So
Swing explained that the valley
gets its entire water supply by
means of a charter granted Mex
lean corporation and which provides
Imperial Valley press., 1931-05-11

that as much as SO per cent of the
capacity of the main canal may be
retained for use by Mexican lands.
He added, however: That charter
may be revoked at any time and for
reasons over which we have not the
slightest control and if it is re-
yoked, our people in Imperial VAL
ley are without recourse There is
no treaty between the two nations,
there is no legal authority anywhere
to compel Mexico to give us one
single drop of the water we divert
from the Colorado river at Andrade.
SHOW me community in these
western states that has no water
rights and I'll show you q COM
munity that is poor indeed. Water,
in these seven Colorado River basin
states is more valuable than gold.
For water there have been fights,
legal battles, feuds extending over
years. Imperial Valleys life depends
upon Colorado River water and the
All-American Canal is the one
means by which that precious wa
ter supply can be safely secured for
all time"
