FARMERS TO SEE
GOOD CROPS ON
PEAT AT MILACA

The problem Of getting an ex-
cellent growth Of suitable crops
on peat lands, like those in the
vicinity Of Milaca and particular
ly to the northeastward, has been
solved by the Minnesota Agricul-
tural Experiment Station staff.
That this is the case will be
shown at the "Milaca Peat Ex-
detrimental Field, one mile east
of the Milaca depot and 100
yards north of Highway No. IS,

perimental Field. 10 miles north

Addresses on the farming of
peat land will be given at the
"Low-Lime" field. 10 miles north
of Milaca, at 2. p. m. At 3 p. m.
the visitors will be shown the
plots of growing crops and will

The secret Of growing crops on
the 'Low-Lime" peat field is the
application Of lime or mari. with
the addition of potash and phos-
phatc. The secret OF getting
crops on the field near town is
the use Of potash.
A chemical laboratory will be
set up on the 'Tow-Lime" field,
where will be tested samples of
soil or of material suspected to
be limestone or mari for any far
mer who cares to bring them.
Guides will be on hand during
