that has stood the dry weather con-
ditions remarkably we'll and is COM
ing out fine. On the Vaughn place
he has sown the No. 12S hybrid and
samples taken from this field reveal
The fact that Mr.. Bowker is scheduled
to harvest an abundant crop of fine
grain there. Nothing but a big hail
storm could now beat him out of it.
Theo. Anderson expects to get an
average of fifteen bushels over his
place, and he will begin cutting short
y after the first of the coming week.
he will not use combine this sea-
son, having purchased a large sta
tionary machine to do the work.
From what we could learn. the entire
crop of Mr.. Anderson is standing
up we'll and he will have lots of good
wheat.
Tom Arnold has done lot of good
farming on the Stanton place and has
fully demonstrated that good meth
DDS win. A soil test was made here
AMI samples of his grain secured. He
succeeded in overcoming adverse con-
ditions of weather and his crop is
coming out we'll. We did not learn
Just what his estimate of yield was,
out it should exceed fifteen bushels
and the grain is well developed. In
this section, these examples are about
The average, and it was a pleasure to
earn that the cool weather of the
past three weeks had been the means
Of saving the crops and assuring
about an average yield for the Eight
| Mile section.
From Theo. Anderson's on down
The ridge and into lone is one fine
held of wheat after another, and it
was in this section that many sur
prises were sprung. Not being in
touch with the owners of all the
farms visited here, we shall not at
,empt report in detail, but special
mention should be given to the crop
n the Chas. Erwin place, as we'll as
that on the H. R. Smith farm. Mr..
erwin is one of the newcomers to this
county and he and his brother, Ar
thur ares each getting splendid re-
suits this year. These men come from
he Prescott, WASH. county, where
| they were raised on good farming
and they expect to succeed we'll here
by using the same good methods by
which success was obtained In Sec
ion of country that has no great ad-
vantage over Morrow county in nat
ural resources.
North Of lone, where Turkey Red
seems to be more abundantly raised
nan any other variety of wheat. the
utlook is generally good. Dwight
Misner. who was hailed out last sea-
son and had just about enough left
for seed and feed, is now harvesting
ais field of Turkey Red on his farm
about nine miles north of lone. He
is getting good yield, has undoubt-
IDLY found the secret of farming to a
,uccess the light lands bordering the
sand and he and his good wife, hav-
ing worked hard, are now to be re-
yarded for their efforts.
A very interesting study in this
section was the work being done by
\. f. Freiwald, who is another new
;omer to Morrow county, and is farm
ing a section of land just north OF
lone about six miles. He does his
work mostly with tractor but uses
horses in working his summerfal-
low. Mr. Freiwald has the very best
piece of summerfallow that was seen
IN the trip, and an inspection of this
ield, where a number of tests were
made, reveals the fact that he has a
fine reservoir of moisture conserved
and the ground is In prime condition
for fall seeding. Mr.. Freiwald is
living the field the "once over" again
before considering his work done.
We can look for fine yield of grain
here next year. He will harvest a
half section of fine wheat this year.
Enough information was gathered
on this trip to fill page of this pa
per, but owing to lack of space we
must ring off here and have more to
say later on.
More trips of this nature should be
aiken by the business men, and thus
ultivate better cooperative spirit
between business man and farmer to
he end that better relations may be
established, better farming methods
encouraged and more prosperous con-
litions be brought about. There is
tgreat future for Morrow county and
its development is rapidly approach
ing.
