WHAT THE DRoUTH TEACHES

WHAT THE DRoUTH TEACHES
The Grand Forks Herald has the
comment on the last crop bulletin is-
sued by Commissioner Gilbreath:
On another page appears the last
OF the crop reports issued by the de-
partment of agriculture for this year.
Briefly summarized, it indicates that
harvesting is practically over in all
parts of the state; that the yields
in most cases have exceeded the esti-
mates; that the quality of the grain
Is exceptional; that corn leads all 9th
err crops as a register of drouth; that
late rains have improved the situation
in the matter of hay and forage crops,
and that winter wheat has done ex-
ceptionally we'll this year.
The drouth of 1910 has taught some
lessons to the farmers of North Da-
kota If they will but read the message
written large in the crop reports. In
every locality there are fields which
will barely return the seed and there
are others that nearly approach a nor
NAL crop. Here and there may be
found an exceptional field where the
rule does not apply, but In the main
this difference in yields in the same
locality points forcibly to difference
in methods of cultivation. The large
yields from some we'll titled fields
argue strongly for more thorough cul-
tivation, for the methods that con-
serve moisture and give the grain a
fighting chance against adverse con.
ditions.
Almost every one of the more than
three hundred weekly papers in the
state have proclaimed during the past
two weeks that Corn is King" and
while the reiteration of that one senti-
ment in the headlines has become
wearisome to the exchange reader it
takes nothing from the fact that corn,
as North Dakota crop, has proved
it's value. 1t has resisted the drouth
and has tlourished where other crops
failed. Surely this points a lesson. It
teaches that greater diversification Is
the solution of our agricultural fu-
ture. And the shortage of hay and
fodder crops is but another argument
for corn. 1t is crop well worth
growing for the roughage that can
thus be obtained. Experts in agri-
mony further argue that the growing
of corn tends to build up the soil and
destroy weeds and this years exper.
fence has borne out their claims.
Some of the largest yields were upon
land planted to corn in 1909.
This years experience has also
taught the value Of winter wheat in
this state. Experimental yields of
Turkey Red winter wheat in many
parts of the state have been large
yields and it is certainly within the
scope of reasonableness to advise ev.
cry farmer in North Dakota to SOW a
small acreage of winter wheat this
year to prove for himself it's desirable
ity as crop in this section.
