WOOSTER FIELD DAY

IS y 3 n ! +
The Wooster experiment stations
annual field day took many farmers
from this county, along with humid
reds of other persons, to the big farm
Friday. The entire day was given to
a practical study Of wheat under two
classifcations,
Upon the arrival Of Til the first 4 HtTst group
Of visitors in the morning the visi-
tors were taken to the fields by mem
bers of the station staff, who explain
ed in detail facts that have been
learned by the state experimenters.
Different corps from the staff took va
rious groups Of visitors to the fields
during the morning hours.
At noon the staff and visitors met
at the station for addresses by Di-
rector Thorne and other members Of
the station staff and by Dean Vivian
Of the state college Of agriculture at
Columbus. Each address was along
practical lines. n,
At the conclusion Of the addresses
early in the afternoon the visitors
were again taken to the wheat fields
and given more instruction. Direc-
tor Thorne planned and carried out q
day Of great practical benefit to the
farmers. 3A
AS guests OF Director Thorie and
other members Of the staff there
were present scores Of visitors from
a distance, chiefly men connected
with publications that have to- do
with agricultural matters. The editors
of the Breeders Gazette Of Chicago
and other editors and writer's were at
the station during the day. Hon.
George Wilbur Of Marysville, a
staunch friend of the Wooster sta
tion, was guest for the day.
About two thousand farmers from
all parts Of the state were present.
The slogan Of the meeting was fifty
million bushels Of wheat for Ohio IN
1918."
Resolutions were adopted by the
county agents to use all their efforts
toward maximum crop production,
especially in wheat, to combat di-
seases in livestock, and to start an
orchard spraying campaign. Among
the speakers were Dean Alfred Vivi-
an, T. D. Harmon and w. I. Chamber
lain Of the Stochman, and 7. d. Har-
mon Of the Breeders Gazette.
Director Thorne spoke to the Fri
day visitors along practical lines and
declared that Ohio farmers can raise
twice as much wheat to the acre as
| is now being raised. HE declared
that two hundred pounds Of acid
phosphate per acre would surely add
five bushels of wheat to the state
average yield Of Is bushels, and the
acreage might well be increased a
half, he continued. Raw phosphate
rock and manure, he showed can be
used instead of acid phosphate which
is now increasing in cost because the
supply of Spanish pyrites necessary
in making it, has been cut off. In
Wooster experiments a ton Of acid
phosphate costing only about SIC has
returned "a bushels Of wheat clear
again. The uses Of complete fsrtili-
zers was discouraged.
A canning inspector was appointed
by the state board.
