L. S. OLSON BUSY ON
EXPERIMENT FARM

L. S. Olsen is busy these days
planting his experiment farm just
east of town, and in a very short
time it will be an interesting place
to visit. He is testing out the vari-
Gus varieties of grains and grasses
which are being raised in various
parts of the semi-arid farming terri
tories of the United States, and will
be in position to give some valu-
able pointers on the various kinds
which he has seeded. Up to the
present time he has the following
varieties seeded: Oats, Early Noun
tain, No. 1 and No. 2, Victory, Gold
en- Rain, Sixty-day, Richland, White
Russian, Swedish Select, Swedish Re
generated, Big Four and Shadeland.
Wheat: Marquis, Blue Stem, Preston
or Velvet Chaff, Power, Red Fife and
Scotch Fife, and also the Early Bart
soft wheat, and the following varie-
ties of Durum wheats: Kubanka, Ar
naut;sa, Monad, Pelissier, Macaroni,
Velvet Dawn, Black and Morning
Star. He will also plant 10 varieties
of corn, also cane, 10 varieties of
millet, and 6 varieties of potatoes.
He has sowed one plot each of yell
low and white Sweet Clover, as we'll
as Cossack and Grimm's alfalfa, Su-
dan Grass, Orchard Grass, Blue
Grass, Red Top, Rape, Meadow Fes-
cue, Slender wheat grass, Vetch,
Bromus Inermis, and Russian Sun
flower. Mr.. Olson is also putting in
five varieties of field peas as follows
S. P. l. 17006, Paragon, Carlton,
Bangalia and Gregory. The follow
in varieties of flax will also be seed
ed: N. D. r. So, Minnesota Primost,
Russian, Woodley's Wild, Golden and
Argentina. He is also putting in
small plots of various root crops for
stock, such as mangelfurtzel, stock
carrots, rutabagas, etc.
There are two items which he feels
satisfied will become leaders among
the farmers here which he is making
a very careful test Of, and that is a
new grass or forage plant which it
is claimed will yield an enormous
amount of hay during the worst
drought seasons, which is called
Shrock. The other item which he
claims will be one of the future farm
crops here is hemp for making rope,
and if this is success it will be only
a short time before a hemp mill will
be built in this territory for the
purpose Of manufacturing hemp.
|. Now, if there are any of the read
ers of the Producers News who are
in doubt as to the different varieties
of grains, you should not hesitate to
see his station. Every plot is marked
with the variety seeded there, and
small passage way is allowed 50 as
a party can go all over the tract
without having to trample on any
thing that as been seeded.

FARMER STILL LOW
IN LABOR INCOME
Even Unfair Figures by Depart
ment of Agriculture Show
Wages of the Unskilled.

The average American farmers
yearly income in 1917 was $1,210, de-
clares the department of agriculture
in figures recently made public. This
is compared with earnings of $640.40
annually found by similar methods in
1913.
While these figures may give some
basis for assuming that the farmer
has gained somewhat in income in the
last four years, they do not show
great prosperity even IL we take them
at face value. The $1,21O income
means farm family income and mas
much as one or more members OF the
family besides the head labor more
of less on the farm, the farmer him
self in 1917 did not get more than
day wages.
But these figures, like so many put
out by the present management OF
our department of agriculture, are un-
fair to the farmer. The object Is The
old trick of overestimating the far.
mer's prosperity that he may be more
content with his wages" and that the
city consumer may think Of him as
the cause for high prices rather than

the monopolistic middle man.
First of all the department metheJ
is to pick out number of farms sup
posed to be representative and to
strike an average from figures taken
from experience on these farmers
Knowing what kind of data Is wanted
the investigators naturally pick out
the more profitable farms. Again
the department allows only per cent
on investment in 1917, when no farm
er could get money at that price to
make investments and when business
men were clamoring for more than 10
per cent. 1t was this year, for in
stance, which gave us "the cost plus
10 per cent" plan for government
contracts.
The method of averages also has
the objection that few very pros
porous persons counterbalance a large
number of persons far below the So
called average. Thus in the depart
ment's 1917 figures over half of the
farmers studied probably fell below
the average and very large number
of them failed to get the wage of or.
binary day laborers. In very few
cases does the farmers income com.
pare with that of business men who
have charge of the management OF
corresponding amounts of property in
vestment.

BURNED AT SCOBEY

On Monday evening the Great
Northern Mail and baggage car was
destroyed by fire at Scobey entail
in a loss of between 100000 and
SIS, 100000, including some baggage
which they were unable to remove.
1t appears that the mail clerk had
a gasoline stove in the car and had
been preparing his own meals there,
and the stove had not been turned
out completely, and as a result there
was an explosion and the car was
completely destroyed. On Tuesday
a caboose was used for mail and
baggage purposes.
