To Sweet Clover Growers The extension department of the -Nebraska State Agricultural College Wishes to secure the names of the sweet clover growers in this county. All who have grown sweet clover in the past or who are growing It at present will do the department a fa Tor if they send their names and what experience they have had with the same to the farm demonstrator. Native vs. Imorted Seed Corn Experiments in different counties ef this state conducted by farmers and the state agricultural college through the supervision of the coun ty agricultural agents have proven tee advantage of native over Import 4 seed corn. Thla is true only if the native seed is of good quality and kit as good breeding as the import ed corn. In this part of the state we are sorry to say that corn show ing breeding brought about by ' the proper selection is rather rare. In aome cases we will find a type of orn developed by proper selection, which does show that the corn has breeding. This article was written chiefly in -the interest of those who wish to plant corn this spring and have not yet gotten the seed. Inquiries have teen made regarding what kind of eorn to plant here. This is some thing that remains to be determined definitely. The guide to this ques tion however la the length of the growing season and the normal rain fall. From this is inferred a type of gforn tha w,1l mature n from jo to 100 days and one that has a medium sized stalk. The main reason that the use of Imported seed corn has been con demned In this country Is that the right kind of corn was not planted in the first place. The reason great disappointment befell the early set tiers of this country was that the same kind of seed was planted here .that was grown further east In coun try of longer growing seasons and more abundant rainfall. Following this there come a small type of corn that grew and matured quite success fully. This type of corn is the tame as Is found in this country at pres ent, hut In some cases badly degen erated To those who have seed to plant, select only the best and then to In sure a stand, test the seed to see whether It will grow. To those who want seed, secure the same from a neighbor who has good seed, and test It also. To those who still want seed or are unable to find any of the proper quality In your own country, send north after seed. Most north ern seed men of reliable reputation usually both test and grade their seed. As to the varieties to plant, that does not make so much difference as the length of time to mature and the kind of stalk. Any of the small dent varieties such as Northwestern Dent, Minn. No. 13, Minn. No. 23, and the flints will mature In this country. Minn. No. 13 has been grown with good results In Dawes county for the past few years. It is a deep grained and early maturing type of yellow dent, maturing In about 90 days. An other strong character of this type of corn is its relative lack of suck ers, which always tend to sap the vi tality of the main stalk. Realizing the value of acclimated corn, providing the quality and breeding are present, this article is as a matter of a suggestion to those who have made Inquiries and to oth ers who wish it. The farm demon strator will be glad to cooperate with any one wishing to make fair trial of native vs. imported seed corn. F. M. SEIDELL.

They lack system and a thorough knowledge of their business. The reason why so many would-be farmers fail is because they know little or nothing of the science of farming. They think anybody can farm and then ate surprised to find that their crops will not grow. The farmer who is always behind, who always has bad luck with his crops, is the man who farms by guess and trusts to luck. If he were in the mercantile business he would be in the hands of a receiver within a year. He is a failure but he hangs on because the poorest farmer can get a Jiving out of the land if he only plows and sows the seed. An Agricultural Education The first thing a young man who intend to go into busi ness should do is to take a course in a business college. Here he can become familiar with the first principles of business, without which he will fail. The first thing a man who expects to farm should do is to take a course in an agricultural college, if he can, but if he has not the time or the money to spend in a two-year course, he can get the same instruction at home by taking a course in the Campbell Correspondence School of Soil Culture. Everything is furnished books and all at a very slight cost, and the best thing about it, he does not have to leave the farm or his work. He can choose from the following courses: Cereal Culture Course Dry Farming Course Farm Engineering Course Soil Tillage Course Summer is the time to study agriculture, and the farm and garden is the laboratory in which to work out the problems. Don't wait for fall or winter to begin, but get bsuy now. You will learn more in one summer applying your instruction in the fields than in a dozen winters sitting by the fire.
