Public Warned About
New "Safety" Racket
Blsmarek--P. H. Me(]iEren, State
Highway commissioner, this week
warned the public against a new "rack-
et" dealgned to take advantage of
statewide safety movements.
In Minnesota, several arrests have
recently been made Where high-press-
ure salesmen were found attempting to
solicit ad~ertising for so-eaUed county
safety books.
Numerous merchants were victimized,
purchasing space in such a publication
because of their interest in traffic
safety.
If one is approached by a person
claiming to be the agent for some safe-
ty program, or representing himself as
an official of the state highway de-
partment, credentials should be de-
manded.
If these are not forthcoming, the in-
cident should be reported to nearby
authorities ~tt once, McGurren said
No such "rackets" are known to exist
in North Dakota at present, but the
scheme may be attempted in this state
in he future.

Why Corn Is North Dakota's
Best Feed Crop
By JOHN~G. HANEY
Written for the Greater North Dakota Association
The Greater North Dakota As-
sociation is sponsoring a special
schedule of meetings in central
and western North Dakota for
the purpose of encouraging the
planting of an increased acreage
of corn this spring. It is felt by
all who are interested in the wel-
fare of North Dakota agriculture,
that growing and feeding more
corn will be helpful in overcom-
ing some of the difficulty met in
providing feed for livestock.
DuriKg the past years of de-
pression, drought, grasshoppers
and other adversities, corn has
been the most reliable feed pro-
ducer of any crop grown. Given
the proper attention, acclimated
seed has produced feed for some
cows, pigs and chickens, in spite
of conditions that were disastrous
to all other crops. While North
Dakota has gained the enviable
reputation of a great grain grow-
ing region, it is realized by all
good farmers, that other crops,
including corn, alfalfa, sweet clo-
ver and grasses, must be included
in the rotation for the purpose of
maintaining the soil, and admit-
ring of a more diversified and
stable income, as is possible when
a part of the crops are fed to
livutock.
Mueh Improvement in Corn
Twenty-five years ago, it was
not so fully realized that varie-
ties of corn could be developed
to fit the needs of this region.
Judgment of the value of corn,
was based on the results from
~ed brought in from regions
with very different climatic con-
ditions. These varieties of corn
were not adapted, and hence the
results were disappointing. We
now know that by selection, and
proper cultural practices, corn
can be acclimated to all parts of
the farming region.
When I began farming in North
Dakota, 25 years ago, a few ears
of Minnesota 13 were secured that
had already been grown in North
Dakota (near Mayville) for sev-
eral years. Each year since, I
have gone into the field (where
the previous year's selection was
planted) and gathered from the
stalks the best ears to be found,
for planting the next year's crop.
Not a single year of the twenty-
five, has it been impossible to
gather seed corn--drought, frost,
and grasshoppers, notwithstand-
ing. (At Grand Forks and Lari-
more.)
Last year, 1037, while the hot
spell of July set the corn back,
and also hastened maturity, there
was gathered--with a corn picker
--one of the best crops ever
grown on the Larimore farm.
This corn was fully matured on
the stalk, and of as fine a quali::y
as is produced in the most favor-
ed part of the Corn Belt.
The silo was filled; and a thou-
sar_d bushels selected for seed,
and 100 head of hogs fattened.
Seed corn from this farm has
been used to produc~ seed by
many farmers and seed houses,
and distributed over the entire
Northwest, including the Prairie
Provinces of Canada. Last No-
vember, a corn husking contest--
the first known to have occurred
in westcrn Canada--was held at
Carmen, Manitoba, 50 miles
southwest of Winnipeg. This corn
was the Early Strain of Minne-
sota 13, from seed grown on the
farm at Larimore, North Dakota.
This corn is grown in a regular
three-year rotation--corn follow-J
tng sweet clover; usually pas-!
tured, and grain following the
corn. This is the simplest, and
most satisfactory rotation possi-
ble, and accomplishes all that any
rotation can--improves the land,
wheat has doubled in yield on
the average; we have.pasture and
feed for livestock, and the work
is reduced. This rotation neces-
sitates plowing the land only
once in three years. The sweet
clover stubble is turned down for
corn; a cultivator puts the corn-
land in shape for small grain fol-
lowing the corn. and the sweet
clover sown with the grain, is
pastured or cut for hay or seed
• , J i ii
million dollars has been spent in North
Dakota for relief purposes according to
figures released by the state Public
Welfare Board.
The money was expened by federal,
state 'and county governments and rep-
resents a sum more than twice as large
as is handled by the state treasury de-
the third year, and the rotation
repeated. Basin listing in the
fall, and splitting the ridges to
plant the corn will undoubtedly
prove a successful practice in
many cases.
Corn most assuredly has its
place in this region. Home-
grown carefully selected seed
(the longer grown and selected,
the better adapted it becomes)
needs to be given more careful
attention. Careful selection has
resulted in the great improve-
ment made in all varieties of

to postpone the next
corn, and while crossing, or hy-
bridizing, may result in still fur-
ther improvement. The general
opinion is that we should zeal-
ously continue careful systematic
selection, and compare results
once a year at the corn shows, to
further stimulate efforts to im-
prove this great crop for vur
state.
Why Grow Corn?
Because corn has proven the
most reliable producer of feed~
regardless of drought, grasshop-
pers, etc. In many locations,
fields of corn were the only feed
produced on the farm, so that
some horses and cows could be
maintained. A thin stand of corn
cultivated clean, will produce
more, and better feed, on less
moisture, than any other crop
that can be planted and harvest-
ed in one season. Corn land will
retain almost as much moisture
as ordinary summer fallow, and
produce a grain crop of better
yield and quality the following
year. It costs little more to cul-
tivate a corn crop than it does to
properly summer fallow. The
corn may be considered almost
clear gain, and insure feed for
livestock.
Good Seed Plentiful
There is a large supply of home
grown seed corn available, and
seed corn is always relatively
cheap. For most of central and
western North Dakota, a bushel
of corn will plant 8 acres, only
25c per acre for seed at $2.00 per
bushel Two to three stalks, for
each 3½ ft. of row, and rows 3½
ft. apart---or even a thinner stand,
will be more certain to produce
results during yea~ of low rain-
fall. The Flint varieties are bet-
ter adapted to the drier, cooler
sections., and if conditions are
favorable, they stool out, and
from one grain, a half dozen good
stalks with ears may be pro-
duced.
Plant Early!
There are thousands of acres of
corn ruined by fall frost, be-
cause the planting was late. Plant
just as near May 1 as possible, on
well prepared land, cultivate
clean, grow corn and not weeds.
Plan to feed the corn, as fodder,
or put it in a silo. A trench silo
costs only work for construction.

ciation will be glad to supply
