COUNTY AGENT HAS ASSISTED FARMERS
OF BURLEICH COUNTY IN VARIOUS WAYS,
ANNUAL REPORT OF A. R. MIESEN SHOWS

mcndcd because Of the very short
feed crop. Practically every farmer

stock. Requests for purebred bulls
numbered SO, seven of them having
been placed. Through transfers from
one farm or another, 60 females have
been placed in the county.
An attempt was made to introduce
organized selling of wool in tire
county when 30 wool owners gathered
at Sterling in June and the pool
was explained. Shipment of two
carloads Of wool took place. The
group later sold 400 flccccs through
Bismarck bank, receiving ~ and
33 cents per pound, an increase Of
four cents over the previous best
offer to individuals in the county.
Milk Producers Aided
An added income of at least $35
per day was gained by milk pro-
duccrs when, on July II. a meeting
Of the distributors. After four meet
ings il was mutually determined that
the price should be 1915 per cwt. for
3.5 per cent milk sample, to be tested
daily and basis Of payment to be on
weekly test as heretofore.
A committee of three milk pro-
duccrs and the county agent met with
the city commission of Bismarck and
obtained passage of a new milk or
dinance, drawn by the city bacteriol-
ogist. Since it's passage in Septem

Disqualification Program For 1872
All projects attempted in 1926 have
received the hearty cooperation OF
all concerned, states the report. The
program for 1927 will follow closely
the five year program with special
emphasis on boys and girls club
work and lcgumc crops. This, broad
~ speaking, is a divcrsification pro.
gram throughout and one badly need
cd to replace the one crop system
used SO extensively now.
The fine cooperation given The
county agent by the business mcr
Of Bismarck, those in the countr!
towns and the farmers is acknowl

them have assisted in making thu
work more pleasant by lending ;
