Sanford Dodge, one Of the best.
known and most popular actors on the
American stage, was in the city to-
day and has completed arrangements
to bring his company here sometime

der just what conditions alfalfa is
best grown, the Northern National
Bank, Security State Bank, First Ma

Winter last fall provided money with
which to buy seed.
Enough seed was purchased to
plant 10 one acre plots and as a
consequence that many farmers have
consented to grow the alfalfa. The
land on which these trial plots will
be located will be along the main
roads in every direction from Be-

In speaking of the plan B. M. Gle,
agriculturist today said: 1.-THE
ground will be we'll prepared and the
alfalfa seed given the best opportun-
lily to grow that is at our command.
1t will mean much for Beltrami

will grow under all these conditions.
The following are those who have
been selected for the trial acres:

Frank H. Gibbs, market gardener,
from st. Paul, is becoming known as
a farmer of the first rank throughout
the entire United States. In The
Country Gentleman under date of
March Fl a whole page was devoted
to the experiences of Mr.. Gibbs. The
article says in part.
+. 'Mr. Gibbs, who is president of the
Ramsey County Agricultural Society,
treasurer of the Minnesota Field Crop
Breeders Association and lecturer
TOR the Minnesota Farmers Institute,
has worked out method of raising
onions that eliminates every unneces-
sary operation. Onions, according to
Mr.. Gibbs, do not require rotation; in
fact he says they thrive better and
mature earlier if grown on the same
ground year after year, provided, of
course, the soil is kept MANFRED. The
field should be level in order to pre-
vent washing during heavy rain.
If possible the ground is always ma
nured and plowed in the fall. Well
rotted manure is always preferred.
Cow manure, Mr.. Gibbs has found,
has tendency to make the ground
solid. Forty loads of manure are
scattered on each acre of ground
every year.

Talks Of Onions

r. The extraordinary thing about the
onion business on the Gibbs farm last
year was not that he made a net pro-
fit Of $215.67 an acre, but that he
obtained only. about half as many
onions to the acre as he usually har-
vests. A terrific hot spell late in
June fairly cooked the tender little
plants, and they did not do so we'll as
they generally do. Sometimes he OBJ
tains as many as one thousand bush,
els Of onions to an acre, but last year
he harvested only 1853 bushels, and
yet he made a net profit of $215.67
an acre.
Just to check up the Gibbs method
of onion raising and to determine
where various items of cost and gain
lay, Frank w. Peck assistant profess
sor in farm management at the Min
nesota Agricultural College, who is
conducting an investigation into the
cost of different truck crops, kept an
accurate account of all operations last
season. Blanks were furnished Mr..
Gibbs on which every operation could
be recorded. On an acreage of 5.3
acres, yielding 1853 bushels to the
acre, the following figures were OBJ
tanned:
