Report of the condition of the West •McHenry State Bank, located at West McHenry, State of Illinois, before the commencement of business on the 13th day of September, 1916, as made to i>he : Auditor of Public Accounts, for the State of Illinois pursuant to law: " BBSOOBCES. Loans: Lo&ni on real estate... 108,100.00 - One of our most important crops is the corn crop. There are three factors which have an influence upon the yield. First, the soil must be in a proper state of cultivation^ must be fertile and well drained. Second, the corn field must have proper care dur­ ing the growing season, and third, the seed used must be good. \The last factor is a most impor­ tant one in this section and at this season of the year. Many farmers realized the results of having poor seed last spring. Some fields were replanted two and three times and some were replanted and then later some other crop planted to replace the poor stand of corn. After the ex­ perience of last spring we should be­ gin to recognize the importance of good seed and saving it at the proper time. Many farmers who have a good field of corn and who select seed often do ijot select as much as they should. Each farmer should select at least twice as mucb corn as he needs and be on the safe side. There is very lit­ tle danger im getting too much good seed, for there is always a sale for seed corn that is gpod. We should begin our seed selection early and bear in fhind the few well established principles for seed selec­ tion: First, pick the corn from the field still standing, at which time we can determine all the characteristics of the entire corn plant. Second, pick only the most matured ears. Third, select ears , from vigorous growing stalks, which have ears placed the Correct height and which have a strong stalk base. Every farmer should make the gathering of seed corn a part of his regular farm work and should give it as much attention as he would to the filling of the silo or cutting the grain. He should select and store the type of corn which he wishes to grow and which will produce the largest yield of well matured corn. Select the early maturing corn rather than the large iate ears. It means as much financially to select good seed corn as it does to do any other part of the farm work and in many cases it means much more. The corn should be husked and stored in a dry, well ventilated place, not allowing one ear to touch another. Various methods are used in the storing of corn. Some use twine in hanging up corn, others use regular corn hangers and still others make a seed corn tree by driv­ ing spikes on all sides of a 4x4. All serve the purpose. After the corn has become thoroly dry, it should be stored away in a place where the temperature is fair­ ly uniform thruout the winter months. The corn should be left on the cob when stored and not shelled until after it has been tested for germina­ tion. A. J. Gafke, County Agricultural Agent. - ADDITIONAL LOCAL .
