Merriam of Goshen, district hor-.
ticultural commissioner for the
second district, was In Dallas Sat

suit with J. R. Beck, county agent.
In regard to cleaning up some old
apple orchards In the county

Rieck Bros,
farm at Ma
cleay.
Here one
finds "tnat the
best is none too
good," be it
sheep, hogs,
cows, crops,
farm equip
ment or build
ings. On ap
proaching the
place the first
thing one no
tices is the
Mrs. Call in
large dairy barn and two silos.
The barn has a capacity of 41
cows although Just now they have
only 37. The two silos 36 by 14
feet in size have a capacity of 120
tons each. Corn is used almost
exclusively for ensilage and the
crop grown on the farm averages
eight tons to the acre.
Another profitable crop on the
farm is retch and the hay in the
barn was of exceptionally fine
quality. The hay was a combina
tion of vetch and oats and accord
ing to Mr. Rieck, was sown in the
proportion of 40 pounds of vetch
to 60 pounds of oats. Ve-tch has
grown on the farm which reached
a height of seven feet.
The success of the farm crops
Is attributed to the liberal use of
lime. An average of two tons of
lime to the acre are used and
more than 600 tons of lime hava Rieck Bros
been used on the farm.
Lime Praised by Rieck
According to Mr. Rieck the dif
ference in a crop of vetch and
oats on a limed field will pay for
the lime the first year. In the
Rieck fields unllmed land yielded
10 loads to the acre while limed
land yielded 30 loads to the acre.
Berkshire hogs raised on the
Rieck farm have won prizes In the
state fairs of Oregon, California,
Utah and In the stock- shows at
Portland and Chicago. More than
MOO in prize money has been won
at a single fair by the Rieck hogs.
They will start on the fall fair
circuit at Stockton, California,
this year.
The registered Shropshire
sheep from the Rieck- farm are
also prize winners. Chickens and
turkeys are raised In large num
bers and prove profitable.
Feeding Scientific
Scientific feeding as an Inter-
gral part of the care of all stock
on the Rieck farm. The hogs are
fed corn, barley, mill run and
ground oats with toft coal for
conditioner.
Their own electric light and
water plants are a part of the
farm equipment. Particularly
fine well water supplies the farm
and provides water for the milk
cooler. The water Is pumped by
an engine and a wind mill is also
used at times.
What cooperation, scientific
study and hard work can do to
building up a successful and pro
fitable farm is demonstrated at the
farm.

candy and eats which they at
