a How to "eleet Cora for the
Parpoae of Mtkli am
Exhibit.
The work of formulating the rules for
governing the contest! of the National
Corn exposition has been one of magnitude.
It haa required the most careful thought
and preparation, for the number of ex
hibit Is going to be aonvthing tremendous.
There will be over 6.000 Individual exhibits,
to ay nothing of the collective and state,
exhibits. The tak of making; the rules Is
heightened by the large variety of exhibits,
too. If corn were the only exhibit the task
might have been simple, but corn Is only
cne, to bo sure, the cl.lef exhibit. There
ate oats, wheat, rye, barley, all kinds of
grass, and farm Implements, and cereal
foods. The great proportion of the pre
mium list, VA.VO. has been another ele
ment making for the seriousness of the
rules formulation.

1 Ralea for Club Exhibits.
v A corn club exhibit shall consist of
r five ten-ear samples, any color, or dif-
leient varieties or colors, exhibited by
five dlffeienl persons.
Each of the five exhibitors must con-
tribute to the exhibit ten ears of corn,
no more and no less, and no two sum
i' plea may come from the same field. Four
of the ten-ear sample must be grown
' by the exhioltors, but the fifth exuiult
. may be purchased anywhere.
W here members of a family are operat-
lng a farm Jointly, but one sample may
, quality troin the farm In the same ex
hibit. Members competing in the club con
teste must live wlthlu a radius of ten
nulra of a given point.
r The purpose of the club exhibit Is to
, promote community of Interim In crop
Improvement. This plan is also caiuu
I lated to prompt the grain dealer. mer-
chant, land owner or any person lnter
' esied to Join ill making up a club and
i promote Its Interest, tt'erhape local con

Seleetlaar Cora to Exhibit.
Here Is some Information on the selec
tion of corn for exhibits that will be
valuable to the exhibitor:
Select the typo of eirs that Indicate the
largest possible yield consistent with safe
maturity and type characteristic. The ex
hibitor should study type characteristics
and undertake to select the entire number
of ears required for each entry, of a uni
form character that Indicates the strong
est breed or type. It Is unfortunate to
have even a single ear showing mixture.
The out cross may be earlier or later
than the true type and may cause the
progeny to revert or degenerate toward a
mongTel. '
to not get the Idea, that "show" corn
Is different from the type of corn that
ought to go Into the planter boxes.
The National Corn exposition Judges will
be selected from different states and will
be guided by the score card standard that
prevails In your respective state. It Is
suggested that you write your state ex
periment station and ask for a copy cf
score card which explains the standard In
detail. The Judge from each state will
attempt to place the award upon the typo
of corn that will give the largest yield,
consistent with safe maturity In your re
spective state.
While It Is Important to have ears of
com showing straight rows, and tips and
butts well filled out In strong uniform
way, those points are not aa Important
as many exhibitors think.
The shape of ear should be cylindrical
An increase of but five bushels
per acre on the basis of the pres
ent acreage of corn in Nebraska
would increase the income of the
state more than $18,000,000.00
annually. There is no real reason
why the average yield of corn in
Nebraska should not be 40 to 50
bushels per acre instead of 28
bushels, the present average.
and slightly tapering toward the tip; the
length and circumference should be as
large as It is safe to grow In your dis
trict and mature before freezing weather;
kernels should be reasonably uniform In
width, thickness and depth; the depth and
shape of kernel and size of cob deter
mines tho relative amount of shelled corn
per bushel. However, kernels should not
be too deep for safe maturity In your dis
trict. Excessive starchlneas, chaffy or lm
mature ears must be avoided.
Use great cam to select ears that have
not been frozen or frosted, for even a
light freeze while there is yet excessive
moisture in the ear may entirely destroy
the vitality.
Ears should be in good market con
dition, which means reasonably free from
moisture.
No ears shall be shelled by the Judges
at Omaha. The Judges will not discount
ears that have had kernels removed, In
making awards at preliminary contests.
ALFALFA ADVOCATES ACTIVE
Corn ShoTT Will Afford Mark Inforasa
tloa to the "Balanced Ra
tion' Beckers.
Cattlemen have In recent time become
Interested in the question of the "balanced
ration," and men who raise alfalfa are
claiming that this grass ted with corn
really makes for belter cattle at a cheaper
price. This Is one of the questions on
which cattlemen who visit the National
Corn exposition can take up and study In
telligently, tor the best authorities as well
as the beat grasses and grains will be on
exhibition.
The strong advocate of, alfalfa argues
along the following line In behalf of this
feed:
It required extraordinary high prices at
a time of urgent need tur the consuming
teed traue to reahzo lae necessity of caic
tuliy considering all the diliereut classes u.
rood stulf presented in tne market. Aideu
oy the agricultural experimental siatiuua
and by men who have made it a lite aludy
to adjust various producta Into classes
wheieoy the utility of each a a wnole
or In connection with other feeds could be
fairly measured. The feeder of today is
capable of Judging a ration that Is properly
balanced.
The breeder looks at the value of the
food stutf more particularly for developitib'
bone, muscle and energy, whereas the
feeder is first for a developed frame upon
wuich lie can build a full measure of meat
and fat. The dairyman la looking generally
for large production wHIi quality included
If the quality does not cost too much in
proportion. To aeiect from various feed
in the market and proportion them to con
stitute, a ration having ach one of the
i.ecessary component parts lor building up
the various U isues requires experience.
Judgment and t ie knowledge of the cost of
each article nvist enter into the ration
balanced. To reach Just thai fine point
where all of th- constituent elements of a
feed are appropriated by the animal with
out loss, is inn ambition not only of the
consumer but aiflo of the manufacturer who
mixes the balanced ration. In order to
get the best results from corn the excess of
carbohydrates must be counteracted by
protein. This Is not only necessary in pro
ducing growth in young animals or In
adding to the milk secretion or developing
actual fat on tne body, but is required to
preserve the animal's hoalth and vigor.
A dumb beast, confined with facilities to
sallffy the craving of a hen'thy nature,
needs roan's aid to procure tha necessary
balances to apease appetite, stimulate
growth and satisfy digestion. The proper
balancing of a feed brings the right bal
ance on the ledger page. Hrecders. feeder
ard producer of any kind of animal de
velopment, direct or Indirect, need to study
nioft carefully the proportion of Kratn,
mill feed, alfalfa feeds or various concen
trates for balancing. Too many consumers
fail to appreciate the necessity of making
a food pilatahl a well as nutrltous. The
enlmaj craving satisfied, contentment fol
lows, and either growth or fattening Is
stimulated In the natural rest which the
animal enjoy after a peif-ctly ialatbl
meal The consumer must recognize that
a ration balanced for one purpose '
M-ldoui fit for another. You can not prow
w --ol on sheep. Increase milk production,
develop bone, blood and muscW In pigs,
fatten homes for stock shows, incre.ise the
wind and vitality of horses for the ra.e
course, all on the same uninterrupted feed.
A little change now and then is Just as
desirable and healthful to the animals as
it Is to man. and we all recognize how
tiresome become the same diet for every
meal.
If the consumer 1 not properly fitted
to balance bis ration, a good method to
get experience i to try the Calaneed ra
tions of reputable fead manufac turer, who
have by exenm. nt uVveJ' ped ration
which their experience has proven suc
cessful. It is conceded that the alfalfa products
are the most desirable and successful con
centrates used, coHiir.g direct from nature
and carrying all th ingredients necessary
to make up a proper balancer of the grain
ration and one that is a feed In itself,
thereby reducing the cost of the feeding.

MAT IS THE REAL PURPOSE?
Question Whose Answer Gives Insight
Into Corn Show. .
TEACHING LESSONS FOR FUTURE
laealcatlng the Frlacladea of latea
le Farming la the Mlads of
tha Tlllera of tha ill
of Tonorror.
What is the purpose of the National Com
exposition In the larger sense?
That Is the question practical men have
asked and will ask. It la easily answered
by those who have given thought to tha
subject. One says, "The purpose of tha
National Corn exposition Is to make two
blades of grass grow where but one grew
before." Another says, "It Is the purpose
of the management to make a grand clear
ing house for tha progressiva Ideas of well
directed and Intelligent labor and tha
product of the season's harvest."
Doth are correct, but neither goes far
enough.
Picture to your mind's eye several thou
sand boys and young men gathered from
various states and sections of the country
lined up at this exposition where scientists
are making practical demonstrations of
proven principles of Intensive farming.
Then picture again these youths returning
to their homea filled with this knowledge
of multiplying crops. What will they do?
Put Into practical operation what they
have learned. Next year these same youths
may attend the
National Corn ex
position and very
likely If they do
they will bring
other youths with
them. They will
again and their
friends will for the
first time study
these Wessons of ad
v a n c e d farming.
And so on and on
this system will be
continued and
where will It end?
That's the ques
tion asked In the
first place and the
answer to that
question is the an
swer to the orig
inal. Primarily men
will think of the
National Corn ex
position much as
they would think
of any other expo
sition merely a
passing show to be
given this year
and forgotten next. Wrong, decidedly
wrong. If that were all there was to the
National Corn exposition it would not be
worth the effort It costs to establish It.
It would certainly not pay men of scientific
minds to give months of their time toward
its preparation.
The farmer who attends 'this exposi
tion and sees no more In it than the
mere picturesque display of a lot of
fine crop and Implement and cereal food
exhibits certainly does not get the full
benefit of the exposition nor a fractional
part of It- lie can take nothing tangi
ble away with him. He haa been Inter
ested In looking at things, that's all, but
he has not derived any practical bene
fit. Or if this man wins half a dozen
pretty and costly premiums and gets no
deeper Into Its subject he still has
missed the main mark. That man who
does not go away from this exposition
convicted by the Knowledge that he has
received an Incentive that will drive him
on to greater effort In his work as a
farmer, that will enable him to till the
soil with unerring Intelligence and reup
more bountiful harvests and care for
those harvests with keener discrimina
tion that man will fall to get what the
exposition has to give.
Another Vital Point.
And here Is one important thing that
must not be overlooked or disregarded
by the farmer who intends to get all
there is In this Institution: He must un
derstand the Importance -and correctly es
timate Its future value to the youths
thus drinking in this knowledge of in
tensive farming. In this fact, after till,
lies the most permanent good to the
present-day farmer. Whether these
youths are his sons, his farm hand or
his tenants, the result is practically the
same and the benefits will flow back
to him with unabated fluency. He wiW
be the gainer in the long run. His aoll
will receive the treatment it requires,
his seeds .for planting and sowing will
be selected with the scientific Intelli
gence necessary and his harvest will
be meUtlplled as desired. Both In quan
tity and quality will they be Improved.
It Is to this common en) that all the sci
entific effort of expert agriculturalists Is
bent in this great university of learning.

If the National Corn exposition In Omaha
will owe lis ultimate success to any one
factor or element more than all others
that certainly will be tho publicity that it
has received.
It is seriotuly to be questioned if any sim
ilar enterprise in this country ever had
the volume of adve. tising and tho diacrimi
nat.ng character of advertising that has
been given to this exposition.
One hundred of the best large dally
papers In the United States, from the At
lantic to the Pacific from the dominion to
the gulf; scores of farm Journals and hun
dreus of weekly papers have opened their
columns to reading matter and llljst-alioru,
and this campaign haa been kept up with
out interruption for months. It has been
fairly a bombardment of publicity.
And it required a practical newspaper
man to direct this vxilally Important, this
indispensable part of the work,
C C Rosewatcr, general manager of The
Bee Publishing company, chaiiman of the
executive committee, has had charge of the
publb tty end of the exposition, and in ear
ning on the work he has used four claasca

MILLIONS IN TREE PLANTING

Not Including old plantations that have
been cut, approximately 25,100 acres of
forest have been planted in New England.
It is estimated that 5,(jui,0u0 board feet of
white pine and 34. (M) feet of hardwoods
could be harvested today from plantations
In New England.
Most of the white pine plantations have
been established within the laat few years
and will not be ready to cut for twenty
five or thirty years. Two hundred million
feet is a conservative estimate of what Uiay
then be obtained. From the trees that have
been planted during this year of IPti about
eO.OOO.uOu feet may be obtained when the
plantations become merchantable. And
only beginning has been made towards
rendering productive the Immense area of
land in New England which can be devoted
to forest growth better than to anything
else.

timber, or twenty-five time as much a
was cut In New England In liuO. Tho
profits of such an undertaking will be mil
lions of dollars. It will mean In many parts
of New England the building up again of
a forest Industry.
A good beginning has been made by each
of the New England states In framing of
good forest laws and in demonstrating to
the people the practicahillty of forest plant
ing, but the keynote of success in this
whole work rests upon good fire laws,
rigorously executed, and a realization by
the people of the great seed there will be
in the future for a local supply of timber.
