Glover and Alfalfa.
In 1905 small plots Of alfalfa were
sown and the season following an acre

Not enough time has. yet elapsed to

It is evident that on the station soil
incubation will be necessary.

In 1906 there were planted 1851
grains in the plant nursery. Some

one to expect.
National Aid.
The substation is at present receiv.

such aid will be materially augmented
this coming season. The department

ALL IN TWO YEARS
Work OK Accomplished at Dickinson Sub-Experii-
sment Station in Two Seasons. Trials and
Tests Of Great Value to Farmers in West
eIn North Dakota

The Dickinson substation has been
An existence nearly two years and q.
good opportunity 10 nov offered to re-
view the work that has ben accom-.
5plished.
~ n doing this, It is we'll to bear in
mind the difficulties that are encoun-
tered In starting anything Of this ma.
ture. Il
First, the work has to be planned,
and while the planning Of experiment
tai work is dificult under any con.
sditions, IT Is exceptionally so in q
country practically new to agriculture,
as this Is.
Again, the money available at first
is generally smaller in amount than
that which is secured later, and with
that smaller amount, not only is ex-
perimental work to be i~naugurated,
but buildings must be erected and
equipment in the way Of machinery
and horses must be purchased. "A
triple drain is placed upon the work.
Ing fund.
II, under these circumstances, the
station has merely demonstrated its
fitness to exist, perhaps it has done
Its; duty. The real work may be ex.
spected later.
The legislature Of 1906 appropriated
800 to be used in establishing and
conducting an agricultural and grass
experiment station. One quarter sec
ton Of land lying near Dickinson was
donated to the state by the citizens of
Stark county for the purposes Of the
station, The land was not selected
until the latter part of April, 1905.
The superintendent took charge the
hrbt Of May that year. When secured
about thirty-ave acres Of the quarter
had been broken and seeded. This
made It impossible to conduct trials
with small grains the FIRST season.
During the second season trials were
made with small grains as well az
with corn and other forage and hay
crops. Owing to the amount Of time
required in the organisation and
equipment of the station and the erec
ton Of buildings, 1t was not deemed
wise to attempt any close experimen,
tai work during the first one or two
years. As a result the work has been
confined largely to the testing Of va
The Dickinson press., 1907-03-23

rieties and the planting Of trees and
shrubs. and the breaking and prepare.
ton Of soil preparatory to future 81.
periments.
Buildings.
During the first year there was
erected a barn, thirty by fifty feet,
containing seed rooms, bins, storage
room for hay and machinery. six
stalls. including box stall, tool room
and harness room. The roof Of the
barn Is relieved by: dormers and cup.
ola, and as q whole makes an attrac.
tive appearance. There was also built
a farm house for the superintendent
and help. This Is q nine-room, square,
pressed brick house with full base.
ment and attic. It has hot water heat,
and the kitchen and bathroom are
appropriately plumbed with modern
fittings. The sewage is disposed Of
by means Of q septic tank system con
structed along strictly sanitary lines.
Grain Trials In 1905 and 1905.
Two acres of land were rented the
first season. and fourteen varieties OF
grain 9 grown, but aside from
seven varieties Of wheat, no attempt
was made to determine yields. Dur
ing the season Of 1906 forty varieties
Of grain were sown In plots large
enough to determine Yields. Among
these were eleven varieties of durum
wheat, seven varieties Of hard wheat,
nine varieties Of oats, eight varieties
Of barley, two Of fax, and one each Of
emmer. einkorn and spring rye.
In addition there we're sown forty
varieties Of oats in small plots and
enough seed obtained in nearly thirty
of the varieties to SOW onetwentieth
acre plots another season. Some Va
rites Of these oats are very promis.
ing. The yields were satisfactory,
eighteen varieties Of wheat, grown
mostly on oat stubble, fall plowed,
averaging 23.3 bushels per acre.
Corn and Cultivated Crops.
Nineteen strains OF corn were
grown in 1906 representing thirteen
different so-called varieties. Matured
corn was secured from ten of the
varieties. It might be mentioned that
two strains of one variety" may show
greater differences than exist between
two varieties. The ears of fifty hills
