Barnes County farm demonstration boosts crops and dairy
A special bulletin from the North Dakota experiment station highlights Barnes county farming progress. Cooperation between the county and state agents drives alfalfa demonstration fields in every township with 130 participating farmers. Corn varieties shift to Minnesota No 13 and Rustler's White Dent, while crop rotation and live-stock integration lift yields and reduce costs. Forty-one pure bred sires split among farmer groups, dairy testing shows favorable butterfat costs, and hog cholera control improves survival. County clubs organize fairs and plan a county corn and alfalfa show with a 1,000-attendance kickoff, strengthening community farming and social life.
