made establishing fair wage and
fair working hours and figures were
wide publicity throughout the sur
rounding territory with the result that
a great deal of money was saved to
the farmers. Calls for labor resulted
in supplying 80. hands from the
County Agents office. Most of the
labor was handled through a Federal
Employment office maintained in
Devils Lake.
Exchange Day Held
An exchange day was held at Devils
Lake in cooperation with the Ramsey
county farm bureau. On this day
farmers brought in articles and pro-
ducts also stock that they wished to
dispose of, while purchasers came in
to secure any articles they needed.
Two days were necessary to complete
the activities. On the first day
private. sales and trades were made
while on the second all stock that had
not been sold was offered at auction.
Twenty-one head Of cattle and twenty
four hogs were sold or traded. A
decision was made to stage this event
annually.
Program of work meetings are now
being held in ten communities of the
county to make up an outline for
next years activities. Specific goals
are being set for Extension accom-
plishmentS in each Of these com.
munities and summary will compose

sow thistle law may be necessary next
year to bring about the destruction Of
this weed on the property of absentee
land owners.
Kill Gophers
Gopher control week was carried on
over an area of 216,000 acres of land,
involving the use of 4S bushels Of
poisoned bait This work was carried
on in 20 townships with the coopera-
ton of CTS farmers. Gopher or
ground squirrel poisoning has been
carried on for four years and farmers
in the area covered report very few
gophers are damaging crops as a re-
suit. Garland Oderkirk Of the U. S.
Bureau of Biological Survey assisted
the county in mixing the posion bait.
Rust Resistant Wheat
Introduction Of rust resistant wheat
| is being undertaken to overcome the
great losses which are sustained very
often from black stem rust. Durum
wheat which has been introduced with
in the past few years has been found
to withstand this disease but there
has been great price discrimination
against it due to alleged inferiority Of
milling qualities. Kota wheat new
har spring variety, is now being dis
tributed and tested for it's rust resis-
tant qualities. Four one-acre plots
and two ten-acre plots were raised
and the increase from these plots
together with supply secured from
the state Experiment Station will be
distributed in small lots to farmers
sowing next spring. Very little black
stem rust was found on Kota wheat
this year while Marquis growing or
adjoining fields was badly infested
The difference between the varities
are nat as apparent this year how
ever as they are reported to be ir
heavy rust years. Yields of Kots
wheat this year range from bushels
on a one-acre plot which was very
weedy to II 1-2 bushels per acre
on better land. This wheat was sowr
at the rate of only one-half bushe
per acre. About 800 bushels of wheat
will be distributed to the farmers Of
the county through the County
Agents office at a cost not exceeding
$3.75 per bushel.
Start New Rye
A quantity Of Dakold rye, new
variety of winter rye developed by the
North Dakota Experiment Station
Was distributed to the farmers Of the
county year ago and when grown or
the same fields as other varities il
lproduced 18 bushels per acre as com.
pared with IL for the others. A total
of 80 bushels Of this seed was dis.
tributed and the increase has beer
distributed in small lots farmers
in the county and planted this fall.
| Seventeen farmers maintained see6
plots to demonstrate the value Of
potato seed selection and treating il
cooperation with the county agent
The increase due to the selection and
treatment averaged 24% with the
consequent decrease in the cost Of
raising potatoes of practically that
amount. During the growing Season
vines on treated and selected plots
showed less than so disease, while
untreated fields showed from S tx
45% of diseased nlants. Az an ,ic

PRODUCTION, MARKETING, CON1MUN-
ITY WORK IMPORTANT PARTS OF EX-
TENSION ACTIVITY

Important agricultural extension
projects carried on in Ramsey county
during 1922 included marketing and
farm economics, crop and livestock
production, home demonstration work,
boys and girls club work and or
ganization of community clubs, ac-
cord;ng to the annual report of A. M.
Challey, CourJy Extension Agent,
which has just been filed with the
county commissioners.
Sell Wool Comparatively
A number of farmers made local
shipments of wool to the state pool
at Fargo to be marketed in coopera-
ton with wool of other farmers of
che state as result of the activi
ties of the county agent. These
farmers received net price rang
ing from 33 to as cents per pound for
their wool depending on the quality,
while the average prices paid by To-
cal buyers ranged from % to 80 cents.
Indications are that many farmers in
Ramsey county will avail themselves
of the state pool next year as means
of marketing their wool. Services
were also performed to the wool grow
ers by the sale Of $50 wool sacks and
so pounds of twine, these articles not
being handled by any dealers in the
county.
Reep Cost Records
Keeping Of cost of production re-
nj ,,,4, - 60
counting were two of the important
farm economics porjects carried on
this year with the cooperation of the
County Agent and R. E. Willard of
the State Extension Division. Five
farmers of the county kept detailed
figures covering every item of ex-
penditure and receipt and division of
labor throughout the year SO that
they could determine the cost Of pro-
duction of their crops and livestock.
Fourteen farmers were furnished with
farm account books and they were
given assistance in starting out on a
system of farm bookkeeping. In ad-
dition 16 children in rural schools
were supplied with these record books,
the school teachers instructing them
on their usage.
Fight Sow Thistle
Perennial sow thistle, the dread
ed weed which has caused immense
crop loses to the northeast of here,
has been rapidly establishing itself
IN Ramsey cqounty and an organized
campaign was put on this year to
stop the inroads of the weed. The
county board appointed weed COM
missioner in each county commission
er's district and deputy weed COM
missioner in each township. These
officers made detailed surveys of their
districts and maped out all the areas
infested with sow thistle. Land own
ers were then notified to destroy these
patches and to see that they did not
appear again. Hearty cooperation
was manifested by all farmers ap-
preached on the matter and legal
steps were not necessary to induce the
land owners to destroy the sow this
tie. Many farmers who We're un-
familiar with the weed learned to i'd
entity it as result of this campaign
and learn to dread the approach Of
this pest. Enforcement Of the state
