THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1912. 3 . i Nebraska : Nebraska SETS ASIDE SEED CORN WEEK Nebraska Executive Calls Farmers' Attention to Great Need. j Superintendent Dalzell and President I Clemmong of Fremont were here Monday. HAY BE SHORTAGE THIS YEAR Tillers of Soil I'rged to Look tare folly to Yield and l.ar Aside Enoagh Flue Corn to Start Crop. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Aug: 37. (Special. )-Seed corn needs of Nebraska farmers are set forth In a proclamation signed by Gov ernor Aldrlch today. The executive rails upon farmers to select seed corn early and urges them to set apart the week beginning Sep tember 80 . for this purpose. The proc lamation says: The experience of successful fanners throughout the corn belt and the results of tests made by the various experiment stations show conclusively that the early selection and proper care of seed corn always results in seed strong germl .nating power. This is true for the fol lowing reasons: First Early selection secures eprly maturing ears, thus essening danger from frost. Second Corn selected :n the field can be taken from stalks which have the , power of producing good ears of corn ! Under normal or even under adverse con ditions, thus increasing the chances of securing high yielding ears. I Third Seed corn properly cured will 'not be Injured by freezing. There was a seed corn shortage last year due to the hard freeze before the corn had dried out. As a result all avail able seed in the state was used for the 1912 crop. We have no surplus seed on hand. Reports from all sections of tlw state show that the crop this year is from one to three weeks later than nor mal. If we should have an early freoie we would have a seed corn famine next year. This would mean that much of our seed corn for tiie 1913 crop would be se cured from other states. A test made at the Nebraska experi ment station for three years shows that seed fom other states have averaged 6.2 bushels less per acre than native j grown seed. With these facts In mind i I urge the early selection of seed corn and designate the week beginning Sep tember Si), M2, as "Seed Corn Week." Its general observance will Insure a suf ficient amount of native grown seed for our 1913 crop. i - Lincoln's Mayor Sends 5,000 Keys for Use Omaha Day ', Mayor Armstrong of Lincoln has sent ' down the keys of his city for the use of the 5,000 Omahans who are expected to go there" Omaha day, September 4.

Two of Our Mammoth Silos will be Erected at the West End of Grand Stand at State Fair Grounds I J ' ! 1 v k n D EST SILO ON EARTH The Hinge Door is the greatest improvement that has been made since the invention of the Silo. The continuous hinge door makes a perfect ladder. The doors are always in place. It is the easiest Silo to open. Doors simply swing inward where they are out of the way. See cut. A Silo Door, to be secure, should weigh from 30 to 50 pounds. How would you like to lift this with one hand on a blustery winter morning, while hanging to a "so-called ladder" about 20 to 40 feet above the ground. "Vyith our hinged door, all you do is raise the lever, push back the door and you are at your silage! No Freezing of Silage in Winter. Careless farm hands can't take doors out. No one can possibly be too lazy to close them. They're so simple to operate. MADE OF BEST WASHINGTON FIR the wood least affected by mois ture and exposure. Made ONLY in one-piece staves, absolutely preventing bulging, and saving more than half the time required to erect the ordinary silo. OUR ANCHORING SYSTEM Our Anchoring System makes your Silo firm as a rock. All Silos have four anchors with inside hoops at top, and foundation anchors. The large Silos have in addition, an inside hoop and four anchors at the middle. The "door-ladder" is perfect, both in construction and in practicability. It's not' a makeshift. Each door is equipped with eleven malleable iron castings. The 'two hinges form the rung of the ladder, strong enough to hold a ton! And this step is provided every 15 inches. Felt gaskets that make our silo door absolutely air-tight are placed not on the frame but on the door itself! Con sequently they cannot be torn off by pitchforks or other tools when han dling the silage.
