Breeding Up to Standard
Earl Coin, Crop Projects Leader
of Roosevelt county, has sent out
some timely advice to farmers who
expect to continue producing and
raising the higher standards of cereal
and forage crops. He stated that
now is the time to make any selec-
tons for next years seed, keeping
in mind the principles necessary to-
wards breeding up the standards of
seed. He emphasizes the fact that
great loss occurs annually in this
county through unfair standards of
weight and especially mixed seed
which in large number of cases is
purely carelessness and if a little pre-
caution is taken the year before far
mers can increase the yield by max
ing a few selections and raising seed
plots.
This information should be espec-
ally valuable to farmers who have
heir seed very badly mixed and to
farmers who have a poor quality of
iced.
Making County Survey
Niles Olsen of the Department of
Agriculture, is making a hurried and
survey of the historical
md economical side of the industry
II farming in Roosevelt county. He
intends to correlate the farm condi-
ions with certain social and business
management conditions to point out
" an index system the reason why
ertaln farmers have made good and
ne reason why many more have fail
q. All factors possible are going to
e included in this study and Mr..
'lsen expects to have for us a cor
elated table with some very desir-
bic and surprising information.
Agricultural Engineer
Mr.. Ferguson of the Department of
-grlcultural Engineering of the Ex-
snslon Service of Bozeman has been
the county the past few days. The
armers who had prospective irriga-
on projects, either pumping propo-
tons or spring run-off dam were
slted. Mr.. Ferguson, thru his long
ractical experience was able to give
ese farmers very close estimates on
e cost, whether the project outlin-
was practical and the demonstra-
on proposition in each community.
e even said he would go as far as
inning level on the project. Any
rmers who have such proposed pro-
ct should send in request to the
unity agent for Mr.. Fergusons SER
ces which will be furnished without
