GET YOUR CORN
PROFIT FROM THE SILO
Tfie one crop which not looking
so well in North Dakota just now
is corn. Everything else promises
wonderful yields. But because tin
corn crip is not up to the standard
for this time of the year is no
reason that it is no reason that it
is not profitable even this year.
The corn crop properly cared for
will clean the land and it will fur
nish fodder or silage for a very
large number of animals. The
Grand Forks commercial club Bet
ter Farming Committee is urging
its people to get their profit from
the Corn crop by constructing silos
