!. plot The cut worms got most of tn
| corn from the first planting so the pic
was replantcd and again the worms 60
large share of it. The third planting
was an early maturing flint corn an
the result was surprising as the yiel
was good and well 1naturcd. The stalk
exhibited show two and three ears t,
the stalk of excellent corn. Alfalf
has done well on this farm as will b
noticed by the exhibits of this crop
Alfalfa is the most wonderful crop cul
tivated III the world at the present tim,
and it can be grown successfully il
this state if it is given the proper at
tention at the start and the grower
has made study of its wants and pc
culiarities The Hazelton farm ha!
shown without doubt that it is the
most valuable crop that can be grown
1t has been an especially paying crol
as pork producer. The quality of the
small grains in the exhibit from this
farm are very good. The velvet chat
wheat and the macaroni are OF excep-
tional quality. The Swedish select oats
are far above the average and weigh
50 pounds to the bushel. One hundred
pounds OF these oats will go to the
New York Land Show to compete for
the fifteen hundred dollar prize.
The New Salem farm is located in
the most prosperous community in
western North Dakota, and it is doubt
full if there is any community in the
Estate that is built on more solid foun-
dation for permenent and lasting pros
perity. This foundation is the live
stock and dairying industry. The Hol-
stein cow is the key to the success of
this settlement. The manager of the
demonstration farm at this point is
John Christensen, and he is also at
the head of the Holstein breeding cir
cult in this section. The farm at New
Salem has brought good results
through his efficient management. The
exhibit shows the good growth and
splendid quality of the grain grown in
this farm. The speltz and Turkey red
winter wheat are of especially good
quality. The trial of winter wheat
sown in the standing corn with single
horse drill last fall was successful, es-
pecially where the covering of snow
was deep. This method of sowing win
ter wheat is being given good test
on this farm and winter wheat has
been sown in the same way this year.
It was seeded the last week in August.
The corn made a fine growth this sea-
son. The exhibit shows corn cut from
the field and after it has been cut for
the silo. This corn cut for the silo as
exhibited in the glass jar is of great
interest to the visitor. The silo is
needed in this state and is bound to
come.
The exhibit from the Larimore dem
farm received fourth place
and was an exhibit worthy of very hon
orable mention to Use the words Of
Prof Holden. The manager is J. E.
Eastgate. The apples from this place
are of great interest, and have re-
manned in good condition under the
unfavorable conditions found for keep
ing perishable stuff. This shows their
good quality The potatoes are of as
good quality as any in the building.
This is one of the best crops on the
demonstration farm at Larimore, and
the conditions are good for producing
potato of excellent quality.
The exhibits from the other farms
have many creditable features. All
have done we'll with one or two crops,
the samples of which are especially
noticeable in their exhibits, The work
