the community to get started with
a high quality of Canadian Marquis
wheat. He in turn will raise the
same in accordance with the stand
ards set by the Seed Growers AS
ISOLATION, and furnish a constant
supply of high grade commercial
seed for the community. Details of
this plan will be worked out at one
of the subsequent committee meet
ings, but inasmuch as this phase of
crop improvement work has given
such good results in other communi-
ties, it is believed that similar re-
suits can be- obtained in that COM
munity. N. E. LeClaire was select
ed to conduct a corn variety test,
using all of the promising looking
varieties that showed up in last year
tests. One wheat variety test, using
the common marquis VS.. Canadian
marquis will be used to demonstrate
if there is any value in using the
elete seed.
Smut control by copper carbonite
method was discussed, but it was be-
lieved that only the ones interested
in this method would use it this year
and then their results would be ex-
planned another year.
One important phase Of the crop
Improvement program was the start
ing of a community campaign in
some systematic rotation for the
eradication of wild oats. While it
may only be possible to start the
community spirit along this line, it
is believed that in time results will
be obtained and wild oats eliminated
from the community The details of
this campaign will be worked out
by a committee consisting or Chris
Paulson, Sam Berry and j. M. Young
Application was made for Mr..
Tretsven to conduct another dairy
school if possible in this community.
The committee also endorsed the
continuance of propaganda cam
paigns put out by the county agents
office, such as corn planting week,
control of loss of pigs, seed selection
week and such other campaigns as
are believed to have some value in
stimulating work along these lines.
Not having enough young people
in the community, nc club project
was endorsed.
The Pioneer committee consists
of Sam Berry, John F~leishman, J. M.
Young, Chris Paulson. Otto Waldow
and N. E. LeClaire.
The Lanark community adopted a
similar to that of the Pho
neer community, with the exception
that they planned to continue their
approved seed work from the start
the community, by growers H. G.
Dave Nelson and Charles
Hawkins who got a small supply last
year and will have it for distribu-
ton next year. These fields will be
inspected by the county agent and
If free from foreign seed, will be
termed as good for a start for the
the community, and can be sold on
4 commercial basis.
One other tillage demonstration
by this community was:
listing VS.. drilling VS.. check row
of planting corn. There has
,een a great deal of argument re-
these methods, and demon
trations will be conducted bv one
'armer in this community selected
or that purpose.
Similar wild oat and fan weed
Eradication campaigns were suggest
d and adopted as that of the Pho
leer community. !
Application was made for the live l
took and poultry specialists in the
ommunity, to hold schools on each I
