Lom Sherman county towns.
Tables Spread In Park
Tables were spread in the park
under the trees whose shade was
appreciated, and food in the boun-
tilul manner known to Sherman
ccuntians was dispensed to all
uho came. Grain dealers and bank

wheat farmers for the dnner.
Purpose of the dinner is to get
as many stockholders out to the
meeting as possible.

Trip Over Station
Grounds Will Be
Made By Visitors
The field day a t the experiment
station that has been held nearly
every year since the station was
established here will be an event
of Friday, June 21, according to an­
nouncement by M. M. Oveson,
director.
As usual fanners and others in­
terested will gather at the station
buildings for a few minutes ex­
planation of the work being done.
Then the tour of the station will
begin during which visitors will be
shown the new grass and the old,
the results of different dates of
sowing and of plowing, of plow­
ing and disking, of plowing deep
nnq shallow, of rotating crops.
D. D. Hill, professor of the farm
crops will be here and Lynn Harris
who knows about weeds will also
taik on that subject.
Joe Belanger who is experiment­
ing for the soil conservation ser­
vice with different types of sum-
merfallow in an effort to find out
what kind/, produce the most wheat
ana retain the soil best—and why,
will be on hand to explain his ex­
periments.
Both Henderson is in charge of^the'
nurrery where new wheats are de-
\eloped and is also growing sevt-
al different varieties of flax as an
experimental crop for this area.
The annual inspections of the
station together with the experi­
mental information sent out from
it, have been important factors in
making Sherman county farmers
the'best in the state and, no doubt,
have much to do with the fact that
this county is able to produce
wheat cheaper than any other coun
ty. The 1940 field day will be an­
other opportunity to continue and
increase this knowledge.
Everyone is invited and a good
crowd is desired by the station
staff.
