Show DOES IT PAY TO FARM RIGHT? One of the best yields of dry farm grain ever reported has just come to my notice. Mr. Ecklund of Newton, Cache Co. has just finished harvesting harvest-ing a field of 60 acres of wheat which averaged 60 bu. per acre. Mr. Ecklund Eck-lund grows Gold Coin wheat; plows his land in the fall;, keeps a,good mulch during the next summer.; .keeps down weeds; seeds at the rate of three pecks with a press drill in Sept; harrows har-rows his wheat the next spring. He selects his seed grain very carefully and ha9 no trouble with vuiut after using the formalin treatment. Not far from Mr. Ecklund's farm is a farm where the soil is just as good, but by careless methods of farming the average yield per acre this year was only 18 bu. It pays to farm right. J. C.
