Although many of the successful farmers in the state and county make their combinations to suit their own needs, the most prominent of the combinations is to buy the best seed corn available and feed the reduct to either cattle or to hogs. me farmers market their corn for Marketing on the hoof seems to be a favorite method. Pure bred hogs and cattle have been imported by the farmers, and with careful selection of the varieties to be planted, the corn ranchers have “eashed in” heavily when they bora their hogs or cattle to mar- t. Alex Asbridge Successful Taking the farmers in Burleigh county and near Bismarck, there is Alex Asbridge, who has often been called the most successful farmer of the entire state. The Asbridge, farm, located eight miles south of Bismarck, is often visited by the leading stock breeders of the state. Asbridge believes in .corn for North Dakota. He also believes that the raising of wheat for the average farmer is the quickest way to bankruptcy. He has brought in the finest hogs and cattle that could be found in the state, and after fattening the animals with corn raised on his farm, he ships to mar- ket and cashes in on his field prod- ucts. Besides believing in corn as the staple product of North Dakota, he firmly believes that all corn should be fed to animals and mar- keted on the hoof. He sells none of his grain for straight feed. Corn Solves Problem To the east of the Asbridge farm is that owned by E. J. Chesak, also a firm believer that corn is the solu- tion to the “farm problem” of North Dakota. Chesak plants between 100 and 200 acres of corn each year, selling a part of his corn for seed and holding the rest for fattening cattle. ‘Walter Sellens, operator of farms northwest of Bismarck, has topped the livestock markets on several oc- casions—due to careful selection of corn varieties for his farm and well- lanned feeding operations. Sellens folds to a method of feeding that is not very well developed in this state, and which only a few farmers adhere ~ to. He puts the corn ‘through a Bismarck will stage the sixth annual North Dakota State Corn Show in the new garage erected by the Inter- national Harvester company at the corner of Broadway and Mandan. shredder, which separates the ears from the stalks and leaves and makes the stalks into finely ground fodder, The ears are fed to live- stock. Feeds, Sells Corn Charles Swenson, living about 8 miles south and east of Bismarck, plants about 100 to 200 acres of corn annually—feeding a part of the corn and selling part for seed. W. B. Falconer, owner of a large farm near Fort Lincoln, sells a good part of his corn for seed. He plans to plant about 100 acres each year. Close tothe Falconer farm is that) owned by Dan McDonald, who plants about 100 acres of corn each season. He sells about half of the product for seed and the remainder is fed.

In the announcement of the ques- tion for the year, Prof Schrier, is- sued the first call for debaters. Those seeking places on the squad will report Friday of this weck, and all tryouts will be conducted on the question concerning the jury sys- tent. Idea Fitting to Advancement of Age; Suggested by R. W. Lumry Show Grew Slowly for First Two Years But Is Large After 10 Years Bismarck’s slogan of “Keeping Abreast of the Times,” was probably the reason the state corn show was organized six years ago, it is in- dicated by records of the show. With the rapid development of corn as one of the major farm crops in North Dakota within the last 10 years, small local corn shows and some expositions rebresenting re- gions of the state were formed, and civic leaders and farmers in and near Bismarck deemed it necessary to form a bigger and better corn *Kecording! cordingly, an organization was formed, bearing the name “State Corn Show.” It began operation the same year it was suggested to the local civic-and commerce asi ition. “ ww Grew Slowly “For two years the show caused only local and regional comment, but it soon began to attract exhibits from many parts of the state. At present, exhibits are arriving from many parts of the Northwest and a few parts of Canada. eS One of the. principal reasons for the growth of the show is believed to be the policy of its sponsors to fur- The doors will thrown for the first time on November 7 and thousands are expected to view the Flickertail state’s prea, corn ex - tion and the latest farm service building during the succeeding days of the corn show, November 8, 9, 10.

Last year more than 100 local and regional shows were held, nd a | number of the exhibits winning pl at the shows were entered in state show. Lumry Suggests Show The show was first suggested to the Bismarck civic and commerce as- sociation by R. W. Lumry, who was a member of the organization., He and George F. Will, Bismarck seed dealer, had worked out a plan for the show and presented it to the civic group. When the group decided that the show would be held, Will was named as chairman of the arrangement committee, He cooperated with Fred L. Conklin, Benton Baker, J. L. Bell, J. P. Jackson, John Graham and J. J. Haney, Grand Forks. After the first two hard years, the show received an annual apropriation from the state, and’ also one from | Burleigh county to develop the show. “paige igae aan out to all parts the state urging farmers to enter their exifibits.

Doris hasn’t risen with the rapidity of Anita, but she has been in pic- tures a trifle longer, and in Holly- wood’s language she’s a “cinch.” In other words, she is going to be a star some day.

BURLEIGH CORN STILL SUPREME Eight Sister Counties Chal-| W: lenge Capital County’s Right to Crown Burleigh county, once the leader of. the corn growing belt in North Da- koeta, is being rivaled for supremacy by several other counties in the southeastern part of the state. The acreage in the county this .| year is approximately 40,000 acres, about 75 per cent of which matured, according to local corn growers. Of the acreage that failed to mature, can’t make any definite statements regarding its merits. fake Good at Last Another girl who at last is coming into her own is Jean Arthur. Jean fought against odds for fully three years, often when there seemed not the faintest hope for success. Lately however, she has been getting a few “preaks”—the vital factors in a screen player’s success or failure. And she has made good. New York will have its represent- ative ae | the baby stars in the rson of Helen Twelvetrees, one of he most beautiful actresses ever snatched away from Broadway. Helen's outstanding stage work was in the Chicago company of “An American Tragedy.” Then she came to Hollywood and was immed- iately signed by the Fox studio. She hasn't been here very long as yet but Fox executives claim there are big things in store for her. Sixth of the outstanding Wam- pas: contenders is Jeannette Loff, the blond image of Vilma Banky, who has been seen as the leading ly in so many Pathe films during the past year. Jeannette has passed the crucial stage and seems to be headed for big things. much was used for silage. About 50 per cent of the corn will be sold for seed purposes and the rest will remain on the farms for feeding. The counties pushing Burleigh county for the corn growing lead in- clude Sargent, Richland, Barnes, Cass, Dickey, Stutsman, Ransom and ard. The development of corn in Ward county has been more recent than in the rest of the group. The reason for Burleigh county’s lead in the corrPraising industry can probably be traced back to the Man- dan Indians, who once roamed this territory. Squaw corn, the first of which there is any record, was known to have been grown by the Indians, and early settlers later crossed the va- riety with a yellow dent variety to produce a corn that would mature early enough for the short growing season. For many years after the first settlers came to the wild and rolling prairie lands the country around the Missouri river was the principal territory for corn raising. In the last 20 years, and especially in the last 10 years when corn has forced itself to recognition as one of the staple crops of North Dakota, | * several other counties have come to recognition as corn raising centers, The counties include Sargent, Rich- land, Barnes, Cass, Dickey, Stuts- man, Ranson and Ward. The de- velopment of corn.in Ward county has been more recent than in the rest of the group.
