ADVISES BURLEICH | FARMERS T0 RAISE LARGE CORN CROPS Agricultural Expert Prepares Manual on Seeding and Cul- tivation of Fields Seed and seed bed preparation, date and methods of planting, and cultural practice, are discussed in u manual on corn production issued by H. O. Putnam, county agent, especially for Burleigh county farmers who have entered the five-acre corn contests and those who are cooperating on corn seed variety tests. H. A. McNutt, agricultural expert for the Soo Railway agricultural de- partment, prepared the manual. ‘The text of the report follows: Seed should be selected from early northern grown varieties and from only such strains as have shown abil- ity to adapt themselves to the cli- matic conditions of the region. The seed should be bright and plump, showing a high germination to insure good healthy sprouts and a fine root growth. The varieties recommended are early strains of Minnescta 13, Northwestern Dent, Pioneer, Mercer, Falconer, Dakota White and Gehu. Seed Bed tion Soil should be well tilled and worked into a fine seed bed just pror to planting. This permits the air and sunshine to warm the soil so the corn will sprout quickly. After the soil has been well worked up it should be compacted and firmed to prevent the escape of moisture and to assure an even and shallow planting. ‘Where sods, such as sweet clover and alfalfa, are to be used for corn it is usually advisable to plow in the fall, then work it up in the spring, as this gives the soil a chance to become compacted over winter and jt will usually retain moisture better. It also affords an opportunity to work the sod twice before it is planted and causes @ more rapid decay. The spring cultivation should then be done just before planting. If manure is to be used a light applica- tion can be made just before this cultivation. If the application is made at the rate of seven or eight loads per acre and spread evenly over the field, this will ‘act as a mulch to retain moisture and will help to pre- vent drifting of the soil while the corn is getting s| Date and Method of Planting It is advisable to plant corn early in this territory as there seems to be more danger of early frost than late frosts in the spring, and it is the fall frost that ends the growth. It is the opinion of men who raised corn here successfully that corn shculd be planted as soon after the first of May as the soil can be cultivated into a fine, mellow seed bed. There may be an occasional killing by frost, but us- ually the corn will recover from any frost after that date and will come ‘ong fine. sees seems to do best when it is planted in check rows, as this allows cultivation both ways and makes the control of weeds easier. Having the rows straight is important and al- most an art. When a man has fine, straight rows he is usually proud of his field and it makes the problem of cultivation so much easier that he actually enjoys working the corn field. Cultural sbhaa nee rts Corn has been grown in North Da- kota for two reasons: first, for feed for livestock; and second, to clean up and cultivate the soil and get it into better condition for other crops. It is important for both reasons and to get the best results, both in yield and in Cleaning up the soil, a good system of cultivation should be adopted which is effective and not too expen- sive. Much of the weed control and culti- vation can be taken care of before and just after planting. A well pre- pared seed bed goes @ long way to-~ ward assuring a good clean field through the season. A blind cultiva- tion, just after planting, following the planter marks for a guide, will be a great help in weed control. This may be followed by harrowing and the harrowing may be continued until the corn is six inches high. After that it will again be necessary to return to the cultivator. At each cultivation the cultivator shovels must be set to run more shallow, as the corn roots grow very near the surface and some- times grow long enough to cross the next row. After the corn is knee-high much damage may be done by cutting these roots. If the cultivator is sét 0 the shovels run only about an inch deep corn may be cultivated proftt- ably until it is ready to tassel. time and often enough, will concrol the weeds and will also start many weed seeds so they may be killed in the next cultivation. It will also keep a fine mulch on the surface of the field which will prevent the escape of moisture. It is also presumed to stimulate the growth of bacteria which will prepare the soil elements for plant food and thereby make the |. field a better one for succeeding crops. . Corn, if given a fair chance, can be made one of the most proiitable |” crops that can be handied in large acreage in this regeion. It is an ex- cellent feed for nearly all types of livestock, and is a good crop for our soils. It has been raised successfully in nearly all counties in North Da- kota. Let us give it a chance end see what it will do for us! Refuses to Quash Police Indictments Minneapolis, May . 20.—(#)—Three local police officers indicted for wil- ful neglect of duty faced trial Wed- nesday after Judge Mathias Baldwin refused to quash charges against: them. E. J. Gustafson, suspended head of the morals squad, is charged in two indictments. Captain Joseph Lehmer and Detective Feed Schroe- der face trial on charges of unlaw- fully accepting a gratuity as well as for neglect of duty. Trial is to start on a day's notice. The indictments were returned during the six weeks’ grand jury sur- vey of charges of police protection to vice and crime. A motion to quash an indictment against W. F. Mealey, another officer charged with neglect of duty, was filed Tuesday. Sinclair Lewis and New York, May 20.—(#)—There seemed to be a wide divergence Wednesday between Sinclair Lewis and officials of Sterling Memorial library at Yale univer- sity over whether the author had offered his Noble prize medal to the library. Lewis said he offered the medal, which he was awarded with the $46,350 prize, to the brary. Charles E. Rush, asso- ciated librarian, said no offer was le. “I thought the Yale library was the natural place for the medal, and s0 while mc from West- any place in their collection. for such an item.” Rush, in his version of Lewis’ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1931 ARMY.

The regulation applies to fields whose owners wish to have them certified for the production of pure seed. The inspections will be made dur- ing June, instead of later, Seed Com- missioner E. M. Gillig announced, and blanks and instruction sheets have been mailed to all persons known to have fields eligible for vegistration, Any others who wish to have their fields registered should lt to the seed department, he said. Applications for field inspections of Potatoes, grains and similar crops need not be sent in until later, since the date for filing these is July 1. Fields of alfalfa, brome grass and similar perennial crops need be in- spected only once in three years, Gil- lig said, but called attention to the fact that farmers having such regis- tered fields should not overlook the i . *"| triennial inspection since the regis-/ ment of the border commuters’ ques-itration of such fields will be auto“ matically cancelled unless the regis- tration is renewed. Fields which have not heretofore been registered must be inspected’ within three years after sceding to’ be eligible for registration. During this year, however, any field which has not heretofore been inspected will be considered eligible, regardless of how long it has been seeded. Registration of fields, 10 acres or less in size, may be maintained at a cost of $1 ® year while the cost for larger fields is $1.50 a year. Each additional field of alfalfa to be in- spected on the same farm at the same time will be handled for half price.

MOISTURE ID SOL LESS THAN AT SANE TINE N19 Deficiency in Precipitation and High Winds Noted by Fed- eral Statistician Soil moisture conditions in North Dakota May 15 were less fevorable than on this same date a year ago, according to the mid-month report of Ben Kienholz, federal agricultural statistician at Fargo. The reserve moisture has been fur- ther diminished by the continued de- ficlency in precipitation since last October, while prolonged high winds in April and May have caused the rapid evaporation of the top soil moisture. Total precipitation during the eight months’ period, September to April, inclusive, for the last three years has been as follows: 1930-1931 — 6.18 inches; 1929-1930—7.65 inches; 1928- 1929—5.11 inches; and normal—7.00 inches. However, the amount of rain- fall during the fall and winter period is not as important to crop produc-; tion in the state as is the amount which occurs during the mouths of April, May and June. Reporters state the early seeded field fields have germinated well and and up to a good stand, except where winds have caused damage, but later seed- ings in many cases will require addi- tional rainfall for germination. The cold, freezing temperatures of late April and May have further retarded | growth. Pastures and tame hay} meadows are much below average condition, as a result. Seeding of wheat was compirted in all sections of the state by the fourth to the seventh of May, reporters indi- cate, which is as early as a year ago. Barley and oats seeding was from 70 to 80 per cent complete on the 12th and was completed by the 14th to the 20th of May. This is several days earlier than in 1930. Flax seedyng be- gan on the average about May 10. {Much flax seeding is being held up, awaiting rains, reporters indicate. | On the basis of present reports, there appears to have been a material reduc- um and spring wheat other than dur- The dry conditions in the bread wheat area of the state may readily account for a decrease in acreage somewhat greater than was indicated by the earlier intentions report.

Jews Will Observe Services commemorating Shabuot ‘or the Feast of Weeks will be cele- The Shabuot, also called Pentecost, marks the 50th day after the Feast of the Passover, Rabbi Mekler said. Shabuot also designates the “Day of First Fruit,” commemorating the day in which the Children of Israel were urged to bring their first fruit j into the Temple of Jerusalem, Rabbi Mekler states. As one of the major festivals of the Hebrew faith, the Shabuot also desig- nates the day when the Children of Israel received the Ten Command- ments on Mount Sinai. Services will be held at 9:30 a. m. Thursday and Friday and 8:30 p. m Thursday and Friday evenings. Rabbi Mekler will speak Thursday night on “The Origin of Free Will Power.” Saturday morning the pray- er of “Yizkor” will be recited for de- parted friends. Minnesota Men Will | Attend N. D.
