grown upon alkali lands and
its use upon the cheaper farm
lands of North Dakota, and its
utilization in feeding to cattle

Corn Prepared
ness in N. D.
Now is the time to prepare
lor the corn crop. The army
wants only fit men, it selects
them carefully. The same
must be done with corn. Plant
ing a kernel of corn that is
dead is like expecting a dead
man to make a good soldier.
Planting a kernel of corn that
Sweet Clover may is so weaik that in can only pro
duce a stalk but not an ear is
also a waste of time. Every
ear of com planted should be
tested. Five or six kernels
from each is enough. If these
grew, tfhe rest will likely do as
well. A half pound ear of corn
per hill will make a yield of 26
bushels per acre and four one
half pound ears per hill will
make 104 bushels per acre.
|iow to use this crop he wlill bej Nation to produce a stalk with
an enthusiastic supporter of it.
But rememlber that it takes a
kernel with good strong germ-
a
g°°^
ear on

crop.
Welcome Farmer
Auto Buyers
Is North Dak., prosperous?
It certainly would seem so if
we are to judge by the auto
sales at the Fifth North Dako

I'he attendance was the largest
that has ever been recorded at
a North Dakota Show, fairm
ers and business men from all
over the state being in atten
dance
Over 100 cars were sold at
prices wfhich dotal about one
million dollars. Good Roads
enthusiasts are more than
pleased at the number of far
mers who bought cars ait this
show as they hope for the sup
port of the farmer car owners
in itheir carripaign for good
roads before the legislature
next winter.
