Adams County Record 20. C. Berg
lund of Adams county is an ardent adj
vocate of the Campbell system of dry
farming and puts ideas along this line
into practice in a way and with such
results as must convince anyone of the
advantages of so farming as to conserve
the moisture. Last fall by way Of. ex-
pertinent he sowed a patch of $50 square
rods-ten rods less than an acre :. of
winter rye. He had no way of protect
ing it however and after the stock had
run over it all winter he thought of
blowing it under. He finally decided
to let it grow on and see what it would
do. Last week he threshed it and it
yielded ~ bushels. Mr.. Berglund. also
threshed thirty one acres OF durum wheat
which yielded 80 bushels to the acre ;
nineteen acres of blue stem that yield
ed Is bushels; and thirty acres of oats
yielding about Sc bushels. He also
had twelve acres of corn that will yield
at least 40 bushels to the acre. MI.

winter wheat that is now up and look
ing very promising The around upon
which this grain was sown was under
cultivation practically, all summer.
with a view to storing the LARGEST pos
sible amount of moisture. Firsto.4he
stubble field wat disced last spring ;and
narrowed after each rain until Jnly.
when it was plowed seven inches deep.
After blowing, it was packed with, a
surface packer and narrowed, and har-
rowed again after each rain. Mr.: Berg
lund says that he has tested with an
aueer in this field and found moisture
stored to a depth of eight feet.
