CORN TREATISE img Articles om Northeastern Minnesota Corn Growing GAN BE SUGCESSFULLY GROWN HERE Advises Farmers in This Section to Grow Minnesota 23— 1910 Yield on Experiment Farm Was 36 Bashels Per Acre. ‘Belew we nepraduce an article on corn growing in northeastern Minne- | sota from the Minnesota Institute an- mual, by Supt. A. J. McGuire. of the Northeast, Ehperiment farm who ig perhaps ‘the foremost authority on agriculture im all its bramches 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 before 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, as used in relationship to the work ‘of the State Experiment farm at Grand Rapids, signifies all the pine growing section of northern Minneso- ta, which includes the greatest part | of seventeen counties, and im acre- age nearly ane third af 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 mecessarily small; and corn, the most abundantly productive of feeds of all darm crops, should and will be one of the most jmportamt farm crops ‘@ this section. “The chief need of corm im north- eastern Minmesota is for the jarge amount of feed it may be made to preduce on a2 smal ‘area of land. A ysetd of from five to seven tons of ftield-cured ‘fodder per acre is com- | mon. Corn willl produce a crop of fodder with even a greater degree of certainty than will hay. It will produce a crap in nimety days. In combination with clover, fodder corn adds greatly ta the value and econ- omy of a, ration for all kinds of live stock The cuttivation given the corn ¢rop improves the condition of the land for the following crops. It fits in with a rotation of croms 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 has ‘been growing ear corn for a number 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 it to maturity im the counties bordering | the Canadian lime. The chief use Of, corn, , however, in northeastern Nines: tts. for fodder, “either field cured or for ensilage, amd for thiis ‘purpose it should be much more gen- erally grown. Corn On the Experiment Farm. “Corn has been grown successfully for fodder on the 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 corn on the Ex- | perimeyt farm, from which 100 tons were But in the silo for ensilage, ‘and the balance’ (two-thirds of the crop) shocked in the fied. The last ig now (October 17) being fed in the ‘bundle 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. “Im 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 ibe grown, with a marked degree of success, when the seed and condi- ‘tions of soil are right. The North- east Experiment farm, im coopera tion. with Prof. C. P. Bull, of Univer- sity farm, St. Paul, has conducted ex- periment work with jeties. of com, with a view of determ- their adaptability and yield. The varieties tested were M‘nnesota | 13, Minneso’a 23, Northwestern Dent, Minnesota King, Pride of the North, Smutnose Flint, Triumph Flint and Mercer Flint. Of these varieties, Minnesota 23, has given the most sat- isfactory results, and has been select- ec as the.standard var‘ety.for north- eastern Mimpesote. The past season 41910), Minnesota 23 yielded at the rate of thirty-six bushels of shelled corn per acre, under field Lepage Jof this, 80 per cent, was quite we o d It was planted May 25 ana stricken with frost September 8, giving it only n‘nety-s'x days growth. In early maturity, Northwestern. Dent jg nearly equal to Mimnesota 23, but ; ft is lacking im yield and qual'ty But, for northeastern Minnesota this variety would be second choice of the varieties tested. “For fodder cern, Minnesota 13 has given the resulta; and it is now different var- | ; grown exclusively on the Experiment . farm.;This; variety attaims its growth | of stocks quite early and, while not | producing large yields, is not coarse {as are many of the southern, variet- | ies often introduced by seed) houses. How the Corn Crop Is Grown. | “Corn on the Experiment farm, both !for fodder and ear corn, is planted ‘on clover sod. For fodder corn the |land is manured at the rate of 12 j loads per acre during the winter, spring plowed (about May 5), ancl | 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 2 al though it has been planted ate | 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 4 | clover sod, fall plowed (shallow) and | disked; mfanured at the rajte of 16 '\aads during the winter; plowed a) ddcond time in the spring and ‘the | seed bed thoroughly prepared. { The fodder corn is planted with.‘ | a graim 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 | ew ears are formed, but what is \1ost in the absence of ears is more | tham made up by the fineness of | textture (all the stock is consumed) and an increased yield of fodder The ear corn is planted in rows ‘three feet apart, with hills aighteen | inches apart in the row, and three ‘or four kernels planted to the hill When the plants have attained? a height of six or eight inches, all but |two of the plants are thinned out, | leaving the two strongest, Bath the ‘fodder and ear corn are cultivated every week or ten days during the ! growing season. Harvesting and Curing | “Fodder corn on the Experment | farm has been harvested at various |wiages of development and used for ‘both ensillage and cured fodder. In a season of unfavorable growing weather. some of the fields of fod- |ider 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 almost as great. Fodder corn cam thus be sown as late as July and if the season is at all favorable, |the results wil be profitable. “In harvesting the point is to al | low the corn to stand as long as pos- sible before cutting, if not matured; ‘but whatever the stage of maturity, t should be cut before a billing frost. ‘SA silo has been unsed on the Experimenf 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 only | to be considered when a farmer thas 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 im the field, is practical for every farm- |er. If the corn is planted thickly, so the stalks jwill be fine and df it is cut’ in the proper season and well | showed, there will practically be no weste. 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- fore feed cam be secured. Corn may | be used to great advantage to secure f2ed 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 and the soil thoroughly broken, disk- j ed and hakrowed, until it is as mel- | Jow 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 | yaar. Corn will graduaily 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 im the fall and one in the spring, wil’ near dmprove the condition of the soil. “In growing corn, it should be re- membered that southern Minnesota was once cons‘dered too far north for com. There is no more reason today | why corn cannot be grown successful | , ly im northeastern Minnescta, than | there was thirty years ago in south- | orn Minnesota, for not growing corn, | mot even as much, for the corn has been greatly improved and there is much more knowledge of the culture ‘essential to its growth.” j WEEK'S NEWS IN DISTRICT COURT Matt Mairele Declared Not Guilty By Jury-—Charged With As- sault im First Degree. THREE WITWESSES ARE ARRESTED Nick Rabatich, Juro Kachar and Dan Travica, Who Testified im Stupar Case—Stupar Is Acquitted. Tine case of Matt Mairele, who was charged with shooting a feltow coun- tryman at Nashwauk, went to the jury Tharsday mcrning 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 witl putting strychnime in the well, which was supposed to have caused the death of of a horse belonging to Cagsttor. In the case of Mike Stupar, the Calumet saloon keeper, who was charged with causing the death of George Gevich im hi saloon on October 9, the case was dismissed by ‘the court on motion of the de- tendanit's attorney on the ground of im@ufficient evidence. A surprise was sprung im this) case when .® warramt was sworn out by County Attorney McOuat for the arrest of Nick Rabitich, Juno Kar- char ana Dan Travica, three of the witmesses, on a charge af perjury, their testimony at the trial not ag- reaing with that given ai the pre- liminary hearing. The next case taken up was that of Jim Goggle Bye, who is charged with the murder of John Caldwell, which oocured om tite shores of Sand lake. At the hour of gaing to prass but four jurymen ‘had been secured. NORTH AND SOUTH RAILROAD RUMOR Talk of the Soo Building From Twin Cities to Canadian Border Line. Accordiuig to repart of recent daite, ‘the Soo road has purchased the Min- neapolis & Rainy River road. This is ®& logging road runming north from Deey River, in Kasca county, to Big Fork, about half way to International Falls. The article states that the So has @ crew at work extending the lime imto Big Malls, on the Minne- gota & International line. The fact ‘that this work fs being paid for im Soo checks seems to comfirm the re- port. Continuing the article states thar the activities of the Soo Lme in that country means that eventually it will be ewtended to Intemational Falis and that it willl aliso extend the presemt .Miinmesota & Rainy River line’ south eighteen miles from Deer River ito connect with its newly com- pleted PhimmerMoose Lake lime. If the above is true.and that.the Soo thas actually acquired the railroad mentioned, it fs evidently the imten- t.on of the road soan to bu ld the much talked of north and south line from thei itwiin cities to the Camadian bord- er. The piece of road which is cla'm- 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 mot be surprising if it started the construction of its north an@ south lime mext season. During the past three years the Soo line has been very active in northeasterm M i nesota, having bu‘lt two limes into Duluth, besides buildimg a branch in- to the new Cuyuna iron <ountry. wititth lies west of Adtikin. Jts sys- tem will mot be completed until it builds a north and south road, Assuming the reported purchase of the Mimneapolis & Rainy River road to be correct, the north and south road would extend south from Deer River ‘to imtensect with its Plummer- Moose Lake line. Continuing south i would tap the Cuyuna and Mille Lacs lake country, passing om the west side of the lake, crossing its Brooten-Duhuth ne at Onimia, 4@ division point. From that point the Kme would cont‘nue south, probably crossing the Great Northern between Ogilice and Milaca and ‘through the nich farming country be- tween Cambridge and Princeton. Last winter a crew of surveyors spent several weeks west and south- west of Ogilice who at the tme were said to be emp!oyees of the S00 road, which would seem to the north and south road theory. Another piece of informat‘on in this connection is the statement that the, Soo iis now the owner of an old road bed between Anoka and Minne- apol’s, built several years ago by @ company which was promot'ng aa electnic railway between these two cities. The proposed line would et- ter Anoka and use this grade in entering Minneapolis. © ITASCA COUNTY'S TAXES FOR (S10 (County Has Immense Resources, | Containing 1,173,585 Acres of Taxable Lands.

To slightly change the phras« to fit the situation—Itasca County Spells Your Opportunity—and by the words, your opportunity, we mear the opportunity that is placed before every retkier of this paper who has retained his or her homestead! rights, or who has the small sum at hand— | 115 per cent—to pay down when pur- chasing state lands. | A Herald-Rev-ew representative has just gone over the abstract of taxes for the year 1910, which was recent- ly completed by Auditor Spang, and noticed the total acreage in Itasca county, on ‘which taxes are levied, is 1,173,585 acres. The totad acre- age of the county, after deducting the area of the numerous lakes, is, roughly estimated, 1,800,000 acres. This means there are about 625,500 res. or over one-third the entire | acreage of this county, which are | SMU subject to homestead‘ entry or cam be cae from the at a very low be i} ‘The soil of Itasca county is very prolific, and is especially adapted ito the growing of potatoes and other roots and for dairying purposes, as has been proven’ by the records af the Northeast Experiment farm. For | this reason, we say—Itasca County Spells Your Opportunity. In ad-! dition to these lands, there are many acres held by private parties which 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 | they passed up their opportunity. | When the fact is taken into con- } sideration that Itasca county con- tains 1,173,585 acres of taxable land, | which does not include town lots, one cam begin to realize its greatness | and its relative importance as com- pare} with other counties. No coun- ty in the southern part of the | siate, no matter how thickly settled, | can compare with it in valuation and, | when it is more fully developed, it will be the leading county in the ; The average value of the acreage | of Ttasca county is $18.41 per acre. | including town lots and the total | 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 | itasca county will be required to pay taxes in the amount of $844,556.78 on this valuation. To raise this amount of taxes Te quires an average rate of 35.71 mills, a little higher than the average rate for i9uy, 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 buikd- | 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 | light commission. x : | Of 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 im the town of Nashwauk, No. 9, 20.20 mills. The village of Grand Rap- ids is second highest, 68.80 mills, while the village of Deer River is third with 64.00 mills. Tov.n and Village Valuations.
