Some Interesting
Farm Experiments
Energetic Farmer Demonstrates
What Proper Cultivation
Will Do.

Through the efforts of Mr.. |
Siedschlag. living FIVE and one
half miles north of Peterl. we |
were treated to an elaborate Sun |
day picnic dinner and a view of
his experimental farming, done
this season at his own expense, +,
with a view to ascertalning for
himself the most desirable crops
for his farm and the proper
methods to follow each season
to produce them profitably.
More that two hundred people
were present including farmers
from Perkins county as well as
his own immediate neighbors,
and Adams county farmers from
distance. Our better farming
expert Prof. Gray was there and
delivered a strong talk on better
farming methods. He was pre-
ceeded by F. A. Finch, of Lem
mon, who introduced J. G. Ston-
er and Hon. J. H. Singer, state
representative from Adams coun-
ty to the last North Dakota leg
islature. who also talked on the
advantages to be derived from
mixed farming and dairying and
better farming of small tracts
over the wasteful practices of
poorly farming more than can
be properly taken care of.
| The farming of Mr.. Seidschlag
this season is in itself an inspir-
alton to every man who visits
| his fields and observes what he
has accomplished there by the
better farming methods.
| Besides his regular fields of
corn and wheat, which are as
good as any in the country, and
by that we mean they are top
notchers. he has about five
acres which is subdivided into
100 plats on which he is expert,
menting with various f a m
