SHOWS FINE TIMOTHY taa ss:;
RAISED ON PEAT LAND

Judge Andrew Grindeland left a
sample of timothy hay at the Sheaf
Office today that had been raised on peat
land near Middle River which proves
conclusively the productiveness of peat
land when drained and properly farm
ed. The heads on the samples shown
measure six and one-half inches long,
with straw averaging about SO inches.
Mr.. Grindeland reports that farmers
in the eastern part of the county have
suffered enormous losses as result of
flooded fields from the high water in
that section. Many of the farmers
have lost their entire crop and are
forced to dispose of their live stock
as even the hay which promised to be
plentiful is now ruined.

BOARD BACKS UP
COUNTY AGENT WORK

. At a meeting Of the county board held
yesterday the board decided to appro-
pirate to the Farm Bureau association
for county agent work the full amount
allowed by the state statutes, which
is $4,000. In the federal agricultural
appropriation bill which was vetoed by
President Wilson this week, the amount
allowed for county agent work was
considerably reduced AS this bill was
vetoed by the President it is doubtful
just what federal aid will be finally
allowed for this work, but the action
of the county commissioners in this
matter insures sufficient funds with
which to continue the work of the Mar
shall County Farm Bureau association.

MUCH LAND.IN EASTERN
MARSHALL co. FLOODED
Crops on Thousands of Acres in Eastern
Marshall County Destroyed By
s5l High Water.

County Agent John HUSKY reports
that farmers in eastern Marshall coun-
ty have suffered great losses as a re-
suit of the high water which has flood
ed their lands and destroyed their
crops and hay. Bridges and culverts
have been washed out in many places
and travelling is still difficult altho the
water has begun to recede. Mr.. Hus-
by will go to Holt Friday-to begin work
on survey and tabulation of the
losses and efforts will be made to Sc
cure aid for farmers who will find them
selves in need Some instances have
been related of farmers who were prac-
ticaly entirely hailed out last year and
drowned out this year. For these it
may be necessary to raise financial aid.
County Agent John HUSKY is also
conducting a campaign to. have the
farmers from the eastern part of the
county, who have lost their crops, to
come to the western part of the county
to aid in harvesting and threshing this
fall. Experienced farm men like these
are easily worth more than the aver
age run Of farm hands, and by giving
these men from the east the preference
the farmers inwestern Marshall coun-
ty will be doing a good turn for those
in the east who are in need. Applica-
lions for help or positions should be
made to the county agents Office as
early as possible in order to facilitate
the work. Esr - $
