Government Warns Farmers on Seed Wheat and Barley Quality
The U S Department of Agriculture urges Barnes County farmers to secure good plump seed for 1917 sowing after 1916 spring-wheat crops suffered rust and disease. Screen and fan seed to remove poor grain and avoid using shrunken seed. Barley mostly good, but parts of the northern Mississippi valley face light bushel weights due to heat. County Agent M C James notes strong corn yields in Barnes County for the 1916 acre yield state contest, aided by soil prep, home-grown seed and careful cultivation. Senator Frank Playbar returns to Bismarck. local notes from Sheyenne Valley include community events and local visits.
