A Model Crop

strated on the StribIing Farm

j. M. Dean of the government
Farm Demonstration movement,
showed us Saturday three stalks
of soy beans taken from the Strib-
ling farm, which were a fine wit
ness TO the value of crop rotation.
The field from which this sample
was taken, has produced re-
markably fine crop this year, and
will put nice number of dollars
in the pockets of the owner. As
soon as the hay is cut, the land
will be disced and sowed in wheat
which will be followed another
year by red clover, then by corr
which completes the rOtatatlOn.
The remarkably fine crops thai
can be grown by this method il
attracting the attention of Oul
thoughtful farmers, ami makes
our future Of great promise.
