: by O.. o. Churchill, Prot. OF Farm
Crops, North Dakota Agricultural Col


(By o. o. Churchill, Prof. OF Farm
CROPS, North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege.)
The difference in yields OF grain
over the state has never been greater
than this sason. In some cases It has
been due to local showers, but in the
majority of the instances, it is the
result of previous cropping methods
: There is also difference in Yields
secured by different grain growers,
but seldom does it show the value Of
good farming as it does this year. It
is only reasonable to suppose that
good farming pays every year, but it
seems to require a severe lesson to
make a lasting impression. No doubt,
this season will be cited for years to
come when illustrations are needed to
demonstrate the value Of scientific
tanning. ri 1'& H.,
There are few localities in The
Northwest this year without plenty
of instances. On one side of road
a farmer will harvest ten to twenty
bushel crop Of wheat, while on the
other side, another field is too poor to
pay for cutting. Hardly paper can
be picked up at the present time, from
any part Of the state, which does not
mention good yields secured by in
dividual farmers. .....
The college and station has long
been preaching the benefits to be de-
rived from good farming. We now
intend to determine the results of
this pioneer work We are going
to the good farmers and find out how
they secured the large yields. This
season offers great chances for obser
walton. 1t is before the eyes Of all
people, Why not closely observe the
difference in yield and learn first hand
why they exist. It will not be DIM
cult to see the value Of crop rotation,
good cultivation and good seed.
This season furnishes timely les
son that can not we'll be ne
elected, nor can one afford to
say that such a season will not re-
cur. We may not experience such a
severe drought for good many years.
but seldom a season passes when
some localit in the Northwest does
not have sufficient rain fall.
1t furnishes a great lesson in fodder
production. No stockman can afford
to be without winter iced. In fact all
cultivated crops show their superior
ity in dry season. And then the resid.
ual effect OF corn and potatoes on the
following grain crops should not be
forgotten. The lesson is certainly plain
enough. r..
