perimental farms.
These farms are located In every
section of the state and each one has
several specific problems 10 solve. The
agricultural college authorities are
seeking TO introduce mixed farming
methods. They are endeavoring to de-
velop new land to grow corn; to rid
fields of weeds and increase production
Of grains and develop an alfalfa which
will grow In all parts Of the state.
The average size OF the demonstra
tion farrna Is from twenty to twenty
four acres. In all, the state Ia culti-
waiting $50 acres. A man contracts

perimental stations. The original seed
is furnished by the state and is planted
In accordance with the most scienti-
fic and advanced methods of farming.
The superintendent and his assistants
visit these farms frequently to direct
cultivation and handling Of the crops.
The farmers OF the vicinity are urged
to watch the work being done on the
experimental ground and are shown by
actual results that the secret of sue
cessful farming is good seed, good
tillage, proper rotation, and work done
at the right time.
During the coming summer the state
plans to go still further. Picnic in
stitutes will be held at all the demon
stration farms. The farmers are their
families will be urged to attend, and.
In addition to an opportunity to in
spect the experimental work, a good
programme will be provided for them.
Authorities on agriculture from the
state college, from other states and
the United States department Of agri-
culture will be invited to address these
gatherings
There still is a vast amount OF land
in North Dakota, which either can be
homesteaded or purchased at low
price Most Of this land Is good for
agriculture and the state farm officials
hope to attract many new settlers
through their work.
