DAKOTA George Will, Speaking Before Tri-State Body, Tells of Increase RULES ON GROWING Favors Flint’ Corn, He Tells, Growers — Sees State Yield on Increase Fargo, Jan. 7.—Corn will take place rightly as “king” in North Dakota, George F. Will of Bismarck told the Tri-State Grain Growers Convention in; session here today. “Corn has attained a permanent place in North Dakota Agriculture,” said Mr Will. “ At worst it is de- cidedly better than useless summer fallow, at best it is a cash crop |surer and often more valuable than jsqall grain, Always it is a perfecz solution of the feed problem, and Jit is absolute necessity in any pro- fitable diversification’ program. “Our most successful farmers on the corn for many years, figure on one year of corn followed by two of small grain, and they have prospered amazingly by combining this system with the raising of live stock. “For the greatest profit, corn skould be and will be increasingly used in the cheapest possikle way fed in the field, cut and shredded, and used in the silo. orth Dakota has increased her corn yield the past year about 40 per cent. ' Her acreage and yield will inerease in the next year or so 100 per cent. This is true as well in Montana and in western Canada, where a tremendous agitation for cern planting is in progress. Un- doubtedly this great development of corn culture will be followed in the near future by the introduction of suitable machinery for handling the most profitable types of corn, which will very materially lessen the cost of harvesting. “Varieties especially adapted to our climate will be produced more jand more perfeatly as interest in corn breeding increases. Our corn will become more standardized as will our methods, and our yields will greatly increase with perfected vari- eties. Though she will doubtless al- ways be a leading wheat state, as is 0 o id o 0. e Kunsas, in twenty-five years) North Dakota will be as independent of the wheat crop as is southern Minnesota today. | “In other words, corn, the native | American grain, will take its rightful place as king in North Dakota farm- ing, bringing with it prosperity and that increased affection [for home, state and nation which a rich state, prosperous homes and an assured fu- ture are certain to inspire.” Holds Flint Best. Mr. Will traced the development of jee in the United States and in rth Dakota, where it was grown by the Indians. Corn growing by the Indians, however, he ‘said, was more properly gardening than farming, the entire production of a community of Indians not being more than 2,000 or 3,008 bushels, enougly for food. The problem of farmers, he said, | has been to adapt it to growing on a large scale. Discussing various type’ of corn,| Mr. Will favored the growing of flint | corns in North Dakota over the dent | corns excdpt in some séctions of the | state. The flint, he said, is a primi- tive type and therefore very tough and hardy. It is found in the cold- est, regions where corn is grown and it can be handled and stored in cool and damp surroundings with greater safety than the flour or dent corns, he said. Rules for Growing. Giving briefly some rules in corn of cattle and hogs. The season for hogging off, if the plantings are made early may be from three to five months*long, depending on the cli- matic conditions of the late fall. In this department the flints and erly flour corn, on, account of their ex- treme earlinesssand very heavy yield of fodder and grain are pre-eminent By planting about May first with the extra early Assiniboine and foliow- Missouri slope who have:raised , +eola was erfroute RESERVE BANK OFFICER GIVES PRAISE TO N.

We rose 500 feet and continued flying at that el tion until we reached the coast near Summit, N. J. until we went uy to about 1,200 feet.
