CORN TREATISE GAN BE SUCCESSFULLY GROWN HERE Advises Farmers in This Section to Grow Minnesota 23— 1910 Yield on Experiment Farm Was 36 Bashels Per Acre. ‘Relew we nepraduce an article on cork growing in northeastern Minne- sota fram the Minnesota Institute an- muai, by Supt. A. J. McGuire, of the Northeast Experiment farm who ig perhaps ‘the foremost authority on agriculture in all its branches in this section of the state. The farm- ers of Itasca county will undoubtedly ldgvote @ great share of their land | this coming season to corn tham ever Wefore and those who wish to receive geod yields should heed the advice tf Mr. McGuire, as he speaks from experience. The article follows: “The term northeastern Minnesota, @s wsed in relationship to the work ‘of the State Experiment farm at Grand Rapids, signifies ali the pine growing section of northern Minneso- ta, which includes the greatest, part of seventeen counties, and in acre- age nearly ane third of the entire of the state. This area has one chief characteristic im all its parts— ‘stumps, or rather trees, brush and stumps. On account of the work and ‘time and expense of clearing, the @ereage under the plow must needs be amall; and corn, the most abundantly productive of feeds of all darm crops, should and will be one of the most importamt farm crops ‘@ this section. “The chief need of corm in north- eastern Minmesota is for the jarge amount of feed it may be made to Preduce on a small ‘area of land. A tons of vytetd of from five 26 seven tield-cured fodder per acre is com- mom. Corn ‘willl produce a crop of fodder with even a greater degree of certainty than will hay. It will produce a crop iin ninety days. In combination with clover, fodder corn adds greatly ta the value and econ- omy of a, ration for all kinds of hive | stock. The cultivation given the corn crop improves the condition of the land for the following crops. It fits in with a rotation of crops that is important in the system of farming in northeastern Minnesota. The use of corn in northeastern Minnesota is More for fodder and ensilage than for grain, though its possibilities for grain are very great. Aitkin county thas been growing ear corn for a mumber of years that has compared favorably with ear corn grown in the southern part of the state. All of the southern counties of northeastern Minnesota are growing ear corn quite successfully, and farmers who have given special attention to.corn have succeeded in growing iit to maturity im’ the counties bordering the Canadian lime. The chief use owever, in northeastern UMiadeota, lis. for. fodder, “either field cured or for ensilage, amd for this ‘purpose it should be much more gen- erally grown. : Corn On the Experiment Farm. “Comm has been grown successfully for fodder on tthe Experiment farm for the past ‘ten years. Its highest yield has been. thirteen tons per acre green weight, The past season 32 acres were im fodder ty ‘on Me ee periment farm, fram which 1 ns were But in the silo for ensilage, and 'the balance’ (two-thirds of the crop) shacked im the field. The last ig now (October 17) being fed in the ‘pundle to the dairy stock, and sup- plemenited with mangels. There has been no-year on the experiment farm when corn has mot given a profitable crop of fodder. : “fm tthe growing Of mature ear corn, the records of the Experiment farm are not so favorable, although the past two years has demonstrat- ed beyond a doubt that ear corn can | {be grown, with a marked degree of success, when the seed and condi- tions of soil are right. The North- east Experiment farm, im co-opera- tion, with Prof. C. P. Bull, of Univer- sity farm, St. Paul, has conducted ex- periment work with different var- jeties. of corm, with a view of determ- ining their adaptability and yield. The varieties tested were M‘nnesota 13, Minnesota 23, Northwestenn Dent, Minnesota King, Pride of the North, Smutnose Flint, Triumph Flint and Mercer Flint. Of these varieties, Minresota 23, has given the most sat- isfactory results, and has been select- ec as the standard var‘ety-for north- eastern Mimpesota. The past season 1910), Minnesota 23 yielded at the rate of thirty-six bushels of shelled corn per acre, under field conditions. JOf this, 80 per cent was quite well It was planted May 25 and stricken. with frost September 8, ‘ giving it only n‘nety-s‘x days growth. In early maturity, Northwestern.

For fodder corn the |land is manured at the rate of 12 | loads per acre during the winter, | spring plowed (about May 5),° anki | thoroughly disked, spring-toothed | and harrowed’ until the seed-bed is | im perfect condition. The average | date of planting, for the past six years, has been about May 26, al though it has been planted as late as June 15, with satisfactory resuits. It should never be planted until it is evident the growing weather is at hand. _ The field on which the ear corn ' was grown the past season was @ | clover sod, fall plowed (shallow) and | disked; mianured at ithe rajte of 16 \taads during the winter; plowed a@ décond time im the spring and ‘the seed bed thoroughly prepared. The fodder corn is planted with | a grain shoe drill, in rows three feet | apart, and at the rate of one-half bushel of seed per acre. The rows, ' three feet apart, are secured by stop- | ping up the cups in the drill except | at points) three feet apart. Sowing the seed at the rate of one-half bushel per acre makes the stocks so close together that but ffew ears are formed, but what is \lost in the absence of ears is more | tham made up by the fineness of | texture (al] the stock is consumed) and an increased yield of fodder The ear corn is planted in rows | three feet apart, with hills sighteen | inches apart in the row, and three lor four kernels planted to the hill. When the plants have attaine? 2 | height of six or eight inches, all but |two of the plants are thinned out, | leaving ithe two strongest. Both the ‘fodder and ear corn are cultivated every week or ten days during the ' growing season. | Harvesting and Curing | “Fodder corn on the Experiment farm has been harvested at various | wiages of development and used for ‘both ensilage aind cured fodder. In a season of unfavorable growing weather. some of the fields of fod- ‘der corn have to be cut before the tasseling stage, to avoid frost, and ‘this immatured fodder has been us | ed for both cured fodder and ensil- age, and the results have been sat- | istactory. While the yield has not been so high as from matured corn, the feeding value for dairy cows seems ailmost as great. Fodder corn cam thus be sown as late as July and if the geason is at all favorable, ‘the results wil be profitable. | “Im harvesting the point is to al- | low the corn to stami as long as pos- sible before cutting, if not matured; ‘but whatever the stage of matucity, t should be cut before a killing frost. ‘A silo has been unsed on the Experiment farm for the last five |-yeans. It has been fillad with hundredg of tons of green fodder | every fall and from the standpoint of having a splendid milk-producing feed throughout the winter, the silo is One of the most satisfactory im- vestments on the farm. The cost of the silo, however, and of the machin- ery for cutting the corn and filling | the silo, puts it beyond the reach of | the pioneer farmers. The silo is onily | to be considered when a farmer has | ten or more cows, and when there | are two or more farmers who will co-operate in buying the machinery. The cost of a one-hundred-ton silo jis from $150 to $300, according to the material used and the manner of its construction. “Fodder corn, shocked and cured in the field, is practical for every farm- jer. If the corn is planted thickly, so the stalks jwiilll be fine and df it is } cut’ im the proper season and well cea ot there will practically be no weste. | | { | j Corn On Breaking. | “The new settler im northeastern | Minnesota is often confronted with the problem of feed. A hay crop re- quires two years from seeding be- foie feed cam be secured. Corn may bs used to great advantage to secure fzed the first year. Corn has been grown at the Experiment farm, on a piece of land that was brushed, had the stumps blown out and broken tmmediately previous to planting the corm, June 1. When this is done a piece of high land should be selected ed and hakrowed, until it is as mel- low as an old field. Corn planted on | sod only ‘half broken will amount to but little. Manure will add greatly to the growth of corn on new land. Ear Corn. “To grow ear corn successfully, es- pecially in the northern and central parts of Minnesota, much attention must be. given to selection of seed. Select a variety that is early in ma- turing amd select the best and earl \iest maturing ears from th's each j yaar. Corn will gradually adapt it- self to the section to which it is grown. The Experiment farm strong- ly recommends Minnesota 23. This is a white-capped, yellow Dent corn | that has been developed at the Uni- | versity farm, at St. Paul. “The richness of the soil, the pre- paration of the seed-bed and its cul- tivation and care, has much to do with maturing corn. The richer the soil the better. Two plowings, one iin the fall and one in the spring, wil greatly ‘improve the condition of the soil. - “In growing corn, it, should be re- membered that southern Minnesota was once cons‘dered too far north for corm. There is no more reason today why corn cannot be grown successful | there was thirty years ago in south- ern Minnesota, for not growing cora, mot even as much, for the corn has been greatly improved and there is much more knowledge of the culture ‘essential to fits growth.” | charged with shooting a feltow coun- and the soil thoroughly broken, disk- j WEEK'S NEWS:IN ITASCA COUNTY'S DISTRICT COURT ha Mairele Declared Not Guilty By Jory-—Charged With As | | sault im First Degree.

Tihe case of Matt Mairele, who was tryman at Nashwauk, went to the jury Thursday mcerning and the jury returned a verdict of niot guilty the same evening. Wm. F. Noble was declared not guilty of the charge of poisoning the well of John Castor, in the town of Third River. Noble was charged wit putting strychnine in the well, which was supposed to have caused the death of of a horse belonging to Castor. In the case of Mike Stupar, the Calumet saloon keeper, who was charged with causing the death of George Gevich im his saloon on Oétober 9, -the case was dismissed by the court on motion of the 4 te attorney on the ground , of umtticsont evidence. A surprise was sprung in thig case when.® warrant \was sworn out by County Attorney McOuat for the arrest of Nick Rabitich, Juno Kar- char and Dan Travica, three of the witmesses, on a charge of perjury, their testimony at the trial not ag- reeimg with that given ai the pre- liminary hearimg.

This is @ logging road ruaming north from Deey River, in Itasca county, to Big Fork, about half way to International Falls. The article states that So has @ crew at work extending sota & International line. The fact ‘that this work fs being paid for im Soo checks seems to confirm the re- port, Continuing the article states that country means that eventually tt will be extended to International Falls and sthat it willl also extend the present Minnesota & Raimy River lime: south eighteen miles from Deer River ito connect wiith its newly com- pDieted Phimmer-Moose Lake lime. if the above is true.and that.the Soo ‘has actually acquired the railroad mentioned, it fs evidently the imten- t.on of the road soon to bu ld the much talked of north and south line from the twin cities to the Camadian bord- er. The piece of road which is claim- ed the Soo has purchased lies im the course of the proposed north and south road. Now that the Soo has completed its Plummer-Moose Lake lime it would not be surprising if it started the construction of its north and south line mext season.

The slogan of the Northern Min- nesota Development asst is and of all citizens imterested in the wel- fare of the northern half of the state has been—“Northern Minnesota Spells Opportunity.” No better sen- tence could have been coimed to ex- press the situation, but there is one county im particular that has more and better opportunities than all the others included in the term, north- ern Minnesota, and that county is itasca, To slightly change the phrasc to fit the situation—Itasca County Spells Your Opportunity—and by the words, your opportunity, we mear the opportunity that is placed before every rethler of this paper who has retained his or her homestead rights, or wha has the small. sum at hand— are for sale at from $8 to $20 per acre and those who do not take ad- vantage of these low prices will, in, a few years, bitterly regret the fact According to report of recent date, | they passed up their opportunity. When the fact iis taken into con- sideration that Itasca county con- tains 1,173,585 acres of taxable land, which does not include town lots, one eam begin. to realize its greatness its relative importance as com- pare? with other counties. No coun- southern part of the state, no matter how thickly settled, can compare With it in valuation and, when it is more fully developed, it will be the leading county im the that tthe activities of sth: r state. ho Le The average value of the acreage | of Ttasca county is $18.41 per acre. including town lots and yaluation of Jands other than town lots is $21,210,702. The value of town property is placed at $1,076,184 while the value of taxable personal property is $962,992, making a total valuation. of $23,649,878. To meet the various expenses incurred by the state, county, school districts, vil- lJages and townships, the people of Tiasca county willl be required to pay taxes in the amount of $844,556.78 on this valuation. To raise this amount of taxes Tre quire; am average rate of 35.71 mills, a little higher than the average rate for i9vy, which was 32.30 mills, but this is more than made up by the fact the valuation has been reduced about 15 per cent throughout the entire county. For instance—the valuation of the village of Grand Rap- ids. for the year 1909 was $701,225 amc the 1910 valuaion is $591,100, this in spite of the fact many new puild- ings were erected and many improve- ments made during the past year. The village rate during the year 1909 was 21.50 mills while the rate for the current. year is 30.90 mills, of which 5 mills is for the water and it commission. ares the rates in the various villages’ and townships, from which the aver- age is derived, the town of Deer River, No. 6, pays the highest tax, 68.90 mills, while the lowest rate is in the town of Nashwauk, No. 9, 20.20 miflls.

The shares were fixed at $50, each and of ithe total amount of stock, $3,000 must be paid up. The nighest amount of imdebtedness the association can operate under was fixed at $1,000. The village of Grand Rapids will be called on to provide a site for the creamery and as far as possible the shares will be sold to farmers only. if, after thoroughly canvassing the vicinity, any stock remains unsold, it will be offered to the business men many of them having expressed @ desire to aid the new project. Of the amount to be raised, $3,- 000, $700 was subscribed Saturday afternoon and the chair appointed a committee consisting of O. J. Niles, Forrest Fulton, E. J. Berthrong and F. W.

When the cur- y was missed the owner rather ected that it might have been an honest boy. | dropped at the Gem and mentioned the matter to Manager Comer. The next morning while sweeping out the place David picked up the ten spot, and immediately reported the fact to Mr. Comer. The money was at once restored to the owner. How many boys in Grand Rapids would have done as David Kribs did? The Herald-Review hopes there are many such. However that may this boy is of the kind that is worth while in the world. There is always @ place—and a responsible place— for him. Business men ir ai] {le ramifications of industry, everyy: ete and all the time, are looking for boys and men like David Kribs. His ser- vices and reliability are always in demand. His greatest asset is hia integrity. Many a boy may envy him the opportunity to pick up the ten-dollar bill that they might ap- propriate it to their own pleasure The temptation to a boy, under the circumstances, to keep the money, is easily understood. He was alone in the building. Had he retained the money the secret would have been all his own. But this boy had the moral courage to withstand tempta- tion. He is honest. As the years go by and David Kribs developes in- to ma-hood the Herald-Rev ew ex ects to see him hold an honorable place ane be successful wherever he may e- that made them man and wife. L.
