HOW THE PRIZE
WHEAT WAS RAISED

Minneapolis. Mimi. Dec. 81
"Good dry farming methods" pro-
dnced the wheat which won for Nash
4 Bridgeman of Clyde Park, Mont,
the $1,000 prize for the best five
bushels of wheat exhibited at the
Minneapolis Land Show, according
to Joseph p, Nash, who gave \ de-
scription Of the methods used in
raising the wheat today.
Nash is here with his wife and six
children to claim the $1,000 prize and
take it back to Montana with him.
He called ut the office of the exposi-
tion and was given Il certified copy of
all scores and an order for the Big
Four $50" gas tractor, Emerson
Birmingham plows etc. Then he
called on President Howard Elliott
of the Northern Pacific railway and
received further congratulations.
He told Mr.. Elliott how the wheat
was raised and demonstrated that
good dry farming methods. .-Or just
common sense, will produce not only
good wheat but the maximum yield
per acre.
"The five bushels which won the
prize was grown at an altitude of A.
900 feet where the rainfall does not
exceed II to Is inches. One crop had
been produced on the land before we
seeded it to this Turkey Red wheat,
the seed for which came from the
Gallatin valley" said Nash.
1--WE summer fallowed the land in
1911 by plowing with mould-boa
pillow not less than six inches deep in
the last part of May first of June.
We dragged it down as soon as pos
sible after plowing, the idea being to
preserve the moisture by dragging
within two days after plowing or
sooner. After any rainfall of conse-
quence the ground was dragged az

"The soil of our ranch is Il dark

he AYERS that in 1912 the business of

experience.
The crops supply him with the ba-
sis for this optimistic forecast. The
Great Northern in l9ll-l2 transported
only S6, 900 600 bushels Of grain, but
during the first six months of 1928
it will move 10000, 900 bushels, and
the expectation is that the total for
the full fiscal year that ends next
June will probably be $50. .OoO, 900 bu-
shells Of grain.
Such harvests as these figures indi-
cate form the foundation for big busi-
ness in other fields Of industry and
commerce. The indication is con-
firmed by the fact that the weather
this autumn has favored work III the
fields and that the government re-
ports the fall sowings to be III fine

A good feature reported by Mr..
Hill is that northwestern farmers
have begun to take hold Of intensive
agriculture in earnest.
\ bad feature is that labor is scarce
and that "the American boy won't
