terday, disclosed the fact that
Clarence Pohl, Columbus Ballard
and A. D. Stanford have fine fields
of that grain on their farms. The
soil on the farms mentioned had
been given the treble super phos-
phate treatment, and the effect was
decidedly noticeable yesterday in
the stand of the wheat. Just what
effect this fertilization will have on
the yield cannot be determined at
the present time.
Pleased With Inspection
Both gentlemen were more than
pleased with the result Of their IT,
spection. There are other farmers
in this county who have the same
variety of wheat planted, and the
manner, but time yesterday would
not permit of visiting other than
the farms mentioned.
Some red rust was found on the
leaf, and small amount on the
stem. Mr.. Hadeke believes that
with the continued cool weather, the
marquis wheat is going to fill out
satisfactorily. He also examined
some of the Kanrad wheat on the
farm of A. D. Stanford, and was
very much pleased with the
appearance of this new winter
wheat. 1t is free from rust andd fill
ing nicely. aH sa.-.....-.
Corn Crop In Iowa
County Agent Mcmillan, who just
returned from a trip through North

corn crop in that state is not near
ly as uniform as in Southern Min
nesota. The potatoe. crop in Iowa
was shortened UP by the dry wealth
er this spring. but the recent rains
have put the late CROP of potatoes
in fine shape. The potato crop in
southern Minnesota, according to
County Agent Mcmillan promises
to be a very abundant one.
The apple crop in this state and
northern and central Iowa gives
great promise of "a heavy yield.
