dents in training in the University
has also purchased four more pure

Of the farmers in the vicinity OF

Rocky Mountain Head Lettuce a
thorough trial this season. Some
four hundred acres have already
been signed up. The cool summers,

had intended. Though the exhibits
from the Experiment Station was for
this reason cramped for room, it
nevertheless aroused a great deal OF
Interest and proved to be OF educa-
tional value.
h most important fact that the
visitors noted was the comparatively
large yields of wheat where 1t was
seeded on disced corn stubble. This
method is probably the most eco-
nomical of producing spring wheat.
This Is particularly true when the
increasing importance of corn in this
part of the State is taken into con-
stderatfon. Charts showing the re-
suits OF various methods for the
other cereals will be used in several
parts of the State during the winter.
