Farm Service to
Depict Problems
In Valley Region

Drainage and the reclamation OF
alkali lands being two important
problems to valley farmers, the agri-
cultural extension service will have
on display enlarged photographs
showing the results OF alkali re-
clamation experiments conducted at
the Mike Procsal ranch.
The pictures show every step in
the process OF reclaiming alkali
lands unfit for agriculture, from
the barren soil to the fields of al
laffa grown on the same land and
from which tons to the acre were
harvested.
The soil was leached by means
of deep penetrating irrigations over
period of years.

also experimental with new me-
thods of packing, particularly in
the lettuce deal.
Both the Vessey and the basket
system have been tried out. In the
Vessey system, instead Of packing
lettuce in crates in the field, the
lettuce is placed directly in the
Vessey trailers, as they so down
the rows, and is taken to the sheds
where it is packed. Less labor is
used in the field in this way but
the standard equipment must be
purchased.
In the basket system, SO called
because long basket crates are
used, the lettuce is packed into
these huge crates and hauled from
there to the sheds.

Each of these 40 measures, he
said, is based On annual resolu-
tions adopted by the federation, or
upon request of the board of direc-
tors, or originated with local farm
bureau groups.
So that farmers may be kept in

time to time to the $4,000 farm

ed farm bureau counties. Discus

Pictures to Show
Every Important
Product in Valley

Transparency pictures illustrating
every important valley crop will
be the feature exhibit from the
agricultural commissioners office at
the county fair
These pictures are the same ones
which attracted so much interest
when exhibited in the San Diego
fair
Art Sinclair is arranging the eX-
hibit and has planned to have a
long table placed in front of the
pictures on which will be arranged
vegetables, grains and other prod
ucts grown in this county showing
the actual products illustrated in
the pictures.

Northeastern association took in too
much territory for effectiveness in its
demands from the department and that
group of Ely, Tower, Cook, Virginia
and Eveleth people would carry more

four or more counties in this end of the
state and all are concerned with pro-
jects in each and every section Of the
large territory.
