SURVEY SHOWS FARMERS
PRACTICE CROP ROTATION
Farm Management Survey Be
ing Made in Beltrami County
BY c. G. Worsham

/. That new settlers on northern Min
nesota cut-over lands practice q sys-
tenn of crop rotation is one of the in
terestingf things shown by farm
management survey being made in
Beltrami county by C. G. Worsham
Of the farm crops and management
division of the state university. The
survey was started in 1919 and will
be finished this year. Records have
been faithfully kept on IA farms in
the vicinity Of Blackduck, which, Mr..
Worsham says, is typical Of all cut
over areas where heavy clay soil
predominates. .,.- .-}..,. ....s..
At the end of the first two years of
the survey the settlers on the Ia
farms had cleared an average of 70
acres each. Some 95 of them had less
than the average, and 40 had more.
Those who had less than 2S acres OF
land cleared planted 81 per cent Of
the area to small grain, l per cent
to corn, IA per cent to potatoes and
per cent to miscellaneous crops.
Tame. hay was grown on Al. per cent
of; the tillable land; six acres Of wild
hay on, other land was: cut. The 40
settlers who had succeeded in clear
ing more than 2S- acres had AZ per
cent Of the land in small grain, 8 per
cent in corn, II per cent in potatoes,
1 per cent in miscellaneous and root
crops, and As per cent in tame hay,
and cut an average of six acres of
wild hay. Averages Of the la farm
records studied showed that small
grain was planted on 40 per cent Of
The cultivated area, corn on ! per
cent, potatoes on II per cent and mis-
cellaneousi crops on 2 per cent. Tame
hay was grown on As per cent Of the
land in crops. : .s., .,+:...-. ..,...
s'The figures show" says Mr.. Wor--
sham, "that the settlers practice q
crop rotation. About one-third of the
cleared portion Of their farms is seed
ed to small grain, one-sixth is planted
to cultivated crops such as corn, po-s
tatoes and various kinds of root
crops, and the remainder, or one-half
of their cleared acreage, is in tame
hay S> = =.

The need of a membership drive
has long been felt, as the. present
membership of 800 farmers is by no
means representative. Inasmuch as
the farm bureau, / serves the whole
county irrespective Of membership, it
is entitled to the support f a larger
percentage of farmers. Greater
membership would give the farm bu-
reau greater strength, not only in the
county. for general development in
marketing and production, but also
as unit in the state federation Of
/ farm bureaus. Increased membership
sswill make the bureau more represen-
tative, and the work of the manager
or county agent more efficient.
: AT least $50 e.,1bers is the=goal
in this compaign, which would be SO
