PROJECT LEADERS
ARE SELECTED
The Farm Bureau Has Selected Its
Crop Improvement Project Lead
erS For 1921.

The Farm Bureau is cooperating
with the agrenamy department of the
State Agricultural college and the
State Seed Growers to produce a very
high class of seed and to raise the
standard of seed grains, alfalfa and
potatoes in this state. The State Seed
Growers Association and the State
Department of Agronomy will do the
inspection work and we Farm Bureau
people grow the produce and the Farm
Bureau organization will through its
exchange list distribute its seed grain
thus produced by its members to this
good advantage for them.
Due to the rigid inspection that is
going to be required by the State
Seed Growers Association the State
Agronomy Department will only CO.
operate with two, and at the most,
three project leaders in each county.
This inspection work does not cost
the co-operator anything, but is of
real educational value to him in that
he will have his attention called to
all the different diseases of the plant,
and different varities of weeds, by
the expert who inspects the field.
Valley county, very exceptionally
located for the production of alfalfa
seed, was given the privilege of hav-
ing as many co-operators in the
growing of registered Grimm alfalfa
as it wanted. All of the Grimm al
falfa seed purchased for these coop
orators has been purchased from N.
Oak. Grimm Producers Association.
The largest field of alfalfa sown
to registered Grimm alfalfa in Valley
county this year will be Mr.. Durell
of Nashua who will seed 100 acres to
real registered Grimm and is one of
