A farmer near Sanborn is much
pleased over an experiment he has
made with winter rye. He has some
sixty acres that he sowed last fall up-
on stuble land without blowing, and
believes that the success he is having
with this crop lies in the fact that the
heavy coat of stubble held the snow
and thus afforded both a protection
and an early moisture. Although the
rye was pastured during the winter,
the coming crop is heavy and he ex-
poets to reap an excellent harvest of
the grain.
