ming, but without putting any water on
them. When the can was filled the
cover was set on lightly and the can
set into a kettle Of water and brought
to boil. The boiling was continued
Is minutes. Miss Newton explained
that this boiling killed all the bacteria
If it was for a shorter time than Is
minutes some of them would be liable
to come to and spoil the tomatoes.
When the boiling was done the cover
was screwed on tightly. She also ex-
planned that different vegetables re-
quired boiling different lengths of
time, corn, for instance, needing to be
boiled three hours. She stated that the
wash boiler could be used for the boil
ing of fruit. It is necessary to have
false bottom to it to keep the can from
the bottom of the boiler.
Mr.. Porter, superintendent Of the
demonstration farms, when questioned
in regard to the crops on the demon
stration farms, stated that they were
all looking fine; that corn is backward,
but in spite of the cold weather and
frost the crop has not been lost on any
of the demonstration farms. By giving
the corn thorough shallow cultivation
and keeping it free from weeds it will
make rapid growth and with fair sea-
son should make a fair crop yet. The
grain that is on the corn land is show
ing up the best. p.
The advantages of rotating the crops
is very outstanding on the demonstra-
ton farms. Being scattered all over
the state great many will have a
chance to see just what can be accom-
plished when the crops are grown in a
rotation on North Dakota farms.

DEMONSTRATION FARMS
SHOW VALUE OF ROTATION

New Salem, N. D., July IA series
of meetings have been held on the
demonstration farms at this place.
The last one of the series was held on
the John Christianson farm Tuesday.
This is the tenth year that this demon
stration farm has been carried on by
the North Dakota experiment station.
A rotation of crops has been practiced.
The net returns per acre for the whole
time has been over Sc year. The net
profits in 1914 were $17.42 per acre.
The crops are looking very fine this
year, much better than any OF the
crops on the surrounding fields. The
only difference in management has
been that the crops have been rotated
on the demonstration farm fields.
The first thing on the program was
to go over the fields. The corn crop
is about two weeks late for the season,
but it is very thrifty and good stand.
A normal summer and fall should en-
able this corn to make good crop.
The peas and oats are making good
growth. The proportion of peas and
oats is very good. A bushel and half
of peas and half bushel of oats
were sown to the acre. The macaroni
wheat is on the field that was in peas
and oats last year. 1t is looking very
fine, some of this undoubtedly due to
the fertility that the peas left in the
soil last year. This years growth of
peas had the roots we'll supplied with
nodules. Mr.. Porter stated that when
the peas were first grown on the farm
there, were no nodules.
= The alfalfa field attracted the most
attention. Mr.. Porter explained that
this field was seeded three years ago.
A crop has already been cut and the
new growth is a foot high. 1t will be-
left for seed. Last year the first crop
made a ton OF hay and the second crop
three bushels Of seed. It Is the Grimm
alfalfa and the seed IS worth $50 per
bushel, making this the most profitable
field on the farm. In 1913 the yield
Of seed was two bushels. Some of the
plants were dug up and showed an
abundance of the nudules on the roots.
Mr.. Porter advised to inoculate in SOW
ing either alfalfa or peas. Mr.. Porter
was assisted by L. R. Waldron, super.
intendent of the sub-station at Dickin.
son, and w. C. Palmer, Of the North
Dakota experiment station.
After the meeting Mrs. John Chris.
tianson served lunch and lemonade.
At some, of the meetings demonstra.
tions were made in canning. At Daw.
son, for instance, when the men went
over the demonstration fields Miss
Newton, of the Agricultural college ex
tension department, gave demon
stration in canning tomatoes. She
first dipped them in boiling water, then
into cold water and skinned them The
next step was to put them into one Of
