BEST METHODS IN DRY BELT
Experiments Carried On at Cheyenne
Station Prove That Alternate
Cropping is Best.

Since 1905, the department of agri.
culture has maintained several farms
for the purpose of investigating the
best methods to be pursued in the dry
farming belt. One OF these Is located
at Cheyenne. Wyo., in n region where
the rainfall is not in excess of IL
inches per year. Part of the land at
this station has been cropped every
year, and part OF 1t every alternate
year with careful summer tillage. Dur
ing the year 1t lies fallow. says Orange
Judd Farmer The crops tested are
alfalfa, potatoes and small grains
The result obtained from the contin-
uous cropped land are so poor as to
preclude the possibility of perma-
nently successful agriculture under
this system in the dry belt, On the
other hand, the results obtained from
land cropped only every other year,
and receiving careful summer tillage
in the meantime which stores up all
the moisture possible, compare very
favorably with the results from land
in more humid regions.
upon pat WHICH Hdu Deei lar
lowed in 1908, yield of 6l bushels
to the acre of potatoes of very good
quality was harvested. A plat seeded
to wheat grass in 1907 produced two
crops, one seasons yield being 2,440
pounds to the acre. 1t would seem
that this crop will prove very valuable
now in providing forage in the dry
belt Two crops Of bronze grass have
been harvested at the Cheyenne sta
ton, from land which had been pre-
viously fallowed, giving an average
yield of 2,400 pounds per acre. Durum
wheat planted upon fallowed land
yielded liz bushels per acre, and
other crops gave proportionately higL
returns.

SAVE RESISTANT FLAxSEED
Plants Which Withstood Drought and
Wit VIII Produce Seed Of the
Highest Value.

(By II. L. BOLLEY, North Dakota Agri-
cultural College.)
This is one of the driest years that
North Dakota farmers have ever ex-
perienced. Flax on old fax lands has
not only suffered under drought condl'
tions more severely than the crop can
usually withstand.
Many farmers who have sown flax
on old flax lands find that the wilt in
connection with the intense drought
has been very severe.
l am writing this to say that no
farmer should allow the fact that there
is only a small amount of fax seed
produced in the crop per acre to pre-
vent him from saving the seed which
does grow, for the flax plants which
are able, to Withstand both drought
and wilt will produce seed which is
of the highest value.
Even flax which is quite thoroughly
resistant during ordinary years is UNI
able to withstand the wilt and canker
under the excessive drought condi-
lions that have prevailed in parts of
the state.
Those who have any fax which has
survived under these very discourag-
ing conditions should save every bit
of the seed for sowing purposes, as
1t will be of much value to them in
future years.
Remember that 1t is the old story
of the survival of the fittest which is
in action under such hard growth
conditions.

Use of Manure.

Manure may fail to give good re-
suits the first year and show well the
next. Much depends upon the condi-
ton of the material. 1t cannot afford
food to plants until 1t decomposes and
its soluble material converted into
plant food. Stable manures are gem
orally more economically used when
applied to farm crops than when ap-
piled to orchards; yet they can be
used with good results, particularly in
rejuvenating old orchards on ex-
hausted soil,
