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.

Over 90 per cent of
Busines Men Fail
Men fail in business because they do not know the game.
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.
