ROOSEVELT co. AGENT
MAKES REPORT ON
LAST YEARS WORK

Poplar, Jan. 4.-Crops project was
considered one of the major portions
of the farm bureau and extension
work the last year, according to the
report of the county agent for Roose-
welt county. This project was divided
into thee subdivisions which are es-
pecialiy emphasized during the year.
These subdivisions were pure and
improved seed, tillage and corn pro-
duction.
The object of the pure and inn
proves seed project was to encourage
the growth of and increase the acre
age Of all standard varieties of grams,
forage crops and potatoes in the
county. The goal to be obtained was
to get every farmer, in TIE course OF
time, TO raise adapted standard vayie-
tics. Also to develop a source of high
quality standard variety of seed with
in the county, thus increasing the de-
mand, increasing the profit and de-
creaslng the labor This work has
been increasing from year to year and
this year there are IS pure and APP
proved seed growers in this county on
record.
The object of the tillage work was
to introduce new and improved meth
DDS of soil tillage that could be adapt
ed to local conditions that would ma
terially increase quality and produc-
ton of all crops. Models of five diff
ferent tiHage implements that could
be constructed on the farm were sent
out to each community in the county.
Circulars giving detailed information
regarding the construction of these
implements were mailed out together
with circular letters encouraging bet
ter tillage methods. No definite goal
was set in this division of the crops
project this year, but a noticeable in
crease of better and saner tillage
acreage has resulted.
The object OF the corn production
division was to stimulate interest, in
crease the acreage and demonstrate
better methods of handling corn. This
was not a definite project in crops
work, but it was stimulated through
crops committeeman by a keen inter
est developed through the boys corn
growing contest.
The same organization with its de-
finite parts are responsible for the eff
cient operation of this project as was
true with the livestock project. The
farmer demonstration, the community
committeeman, the county project
leader and the county agent have t.
function as a machine to make any
marked results in this work. The
comparative energy and efficiency Of
such an organization where it has
functioned throughout the county has
been definitely crop yields have beer
recorded.

WHEAT TAKES
UPWARD TURN
Additional Unfavorable Crop
Reports Affect Market

Chicago, Aug. 1.-Unfavorable
crop reports from the North west
led to decided advance in the
price of wheat today during the
early dealings. There was a no.
ticeable absence of selling pressure
and the market responded quickly
to commission house buying
which was generally assumed to
Go based on bullish crop estimates.
A decline in quotations at Liver
pool was virtually ignored. The
opening which ranged from u cent
ON to a like advance with Septem-
Der 96A to a6N and December
99B to $1.00 was followed by q
rapid upturn, about 2 cents in some
cases.
Subsequently the market was
bullishly affected by French in the
strength in the stock market and
IN cotton as well as by estimates
that 1923 domestic yield of wheat
would be 100000 less than the
Government July forecast. The
market closed firm 70 to / cent to
1ss net higher. September 98M 20
9SA and December $1.O1X to
$1.01s.

tions with good yields generally. A
good crop Of early sown flax is be-
ing harvested. Corn is mostly tas-
seled and is generally excellent and.
