west If this can be accomplished by dry
farming, intelligent applications of the
principles of tillage, seed selection and
crop rotation, certainly every farmer in

DRY FARMING EXPERIMENTS
DOUBLE THE YIELD OF WHEAT

Spokane, Wash, May 2S.-That mod
ern methods OF dry farming would add
S51, 929 600 to the farm value of the
wheat yield of North Dakota, is asserted
by DR.. j. II. Worst, president of the
North Dakota Agricultural college and
executive committeeman fer that state
of the Dry Farming congress.
North Dakota had 6,625.000 acres of
wheat last year; the production tOtaled
80, 1852 900 bushels, an average of 1871
bushels an acre, AMI the farm value of
the crop, December /, was SS5, sol 900,
according 10 the year book OF the de-
partment Of agriculture for 1903.
Under modern scientific dry farm
methods, DR.. Worst asserts, the acre
average yield should he 1922 bushels.
On 6,625,00 acres, this average would
give total production of 147,207 500
bushels, an increase of 56,445,5 500 bushels
over the actual Weld last year. As COM
puted by the United States department
OF agriculture, at practically 90 cents a
bushel. the farm value of the possible
crop would be S135, 100000, an increase
of sal. 929 ,0G0 over tae figures as given
for 1909.

of these stations "a acres Is devoted TO

different crops. The crops used in the
rotations are clover, oats, Canadian field
peas, corn and wheat.
Five year old rotations have been
practiced at the stations. Clover or fled
peas have been planted the first year
and the crop cut for hay; corn was the
second year crop; then wheat was
grown for two years and the fifth wear,
oats The tracts were treated with
manure the first year and the plan IS
to repeat this treatment every five years,
using five to 10 WGgonlCads to the

Deep blowing is praeticed wherever
possible. In the dryer sections the
ground is broken six inches deep and
narrowed once Immediately after pillow

conserve the moisture. y press drill Is
used for seeding, When the crop Is up

pedigreed seed is used on the experiment

The experiment stations have been
divided into sections 50 that variations
in the rotations can be tried and com
parative results noted For example, at
one set of stations wheat is a first year
crop, at others thes second and third
years. At the first year stations the
results are practically the same rs

practice on farms. The results with
wheat follow: First year stations, 14.4
