U. S. Department Men are De-
lighted with New Site for
Experimental Farm
tFrom Fridays Dally)


In accordance with plans fur
nlshed by Director Ross and the 9TH
er men OF the department, work was
begun this week at the new site for
the experimental farm and the first
forty acres OF land on the new place
should be broken by the end OF this
week. The men In charge are not
planning TO make any use OF the land
this summer but will let the land lie
so that 1t viii be In condition for use
this fall.
All men Of the department OF ag-
ricultgre who have seen the new site
for the farm are delighted with 1t
and their approval grows on closer
Acquaintance. The land which Mr.
II, y. Sanborn has given the d-Sart-
ment on twenty years lease lies on
the north side OF the section Just
northeast Of the city on which the
stoclsyards are located The whole
hundred and twenty acres are Of
smooth plains land without blem-
ish. There is not foot of waste
land on the strip and every BIT of 1t
is OF representative plains dirt. The
new Panhandle cutoff OF the Santa
Fo passes on the south side OF the
farm and the Rock Island & Denver
tracks are just south OF this Pas
sengers on Santa Fe -trains can look
out over every bit OF the farm and
view from the Rock Island and Den
yer tracks Is hardly less complete.'v
Besides blowing the first part of
the farm, 1t is intended TO begin
work shortly on the permanent build
ngs which will be erected on the
farm. These will BIO located on the
north side OF the farm short dis
lance from Judge y, c. Martins
home. AS the department has a long
lease on this tract Of land the build
ings and similar Improvements will
be made on much bigger scale.
The farm here is intended to be one
OF the most important in the South
west and the plant necessary to carry
on all the operations will make tho
farm show place in many ways.
Continue Present Farm Operations.
In the meantime the present farm
southwest Of Amarillo will be con-
tnued till all the operations can be
satisfactorily moved to the new place.
The value OF experimental farm work
depends on itss continuity and in the
years that the farm has been estab-
llshed here 1t has just fairly laid the
foundation for the work that II will
accomplish. To move at once to new
land would break off many OF the
Investigations and would confuse the
results.
Just at present, harvesting is going
on at the local farm and the experts
in charge are getting records on the
hundreds OF experiments in oats,
wheat and other small grains which
the farm is trying out, Among the
grains which are being tried out are
scores OF cereals OF which the aver
age man knows little or nothing
about Many Of these are not show
ing results that promise profit, but
are making returns which
mean much to farmers in the Pan
handle, In general all the small
grains are making satisfactory yields
some strips are failures.
The condition OF corn and OF the
thousands or more experiments in
the sorghums is especially fine.

Amarillo has done these things so
