3 Our cover picture this year shows Ft. Berthold corn growers preparing their braids of 
no crop at all.’ ay eee 
seed corn ears for storage in their cache pits, called by some storage cellars. The rea- 
son why these Indian women were able to produce good crops of fine corn appears from 
the picture at the head of this page. Even though an armed guard was needed to pro- 
tect them in the field while they worked, still they labored diligently and selected their 
seed ears carefully to the benefit of all their tribe. 
In these uncertain times the best contribution that anyone can make is to do each his 
own work diligently and with a proper regard to its value in the whole economy of our 
land. Surely the lesson of the Indians to us of the agricultural regions is to cultivate and 
care for our crops to the best of our ability, to grow them from the best producing seed 
obtainable so that production may be at its highest and in the meantime to give due regard 
to proper care of our soils just as the Ft. Berthold women did by moving their fields at 
intervals to new ground. 
In this matter of the choice of seed we ourselves have been developing or introducing 
varieties better adapted to Great Plains conditions for 68 years and we feel that we have 
fully earned your confidence. If you want seeds best suited to our Northern Plains condi- 
tions we know that you will send us your orders. Please get them in as early as possible. 
May the year before us be less dark than we fear, and‘may some measure of peace 
‘come to the whole world.
