Show "FARMERS DAY" SOON As I stated through the press several weeks ago, we intend to again hold "Farmers Day" in most of the. settlements settle-ments in the two counties. Everybody, ; who possibly can, should take advantage advant-age of this-fathers. mothers, and older old-er boys and girls of the farm. The crowd in each settlement should be much larger this year than it was last, i This is an excellent opportunity for farmers and business men to visit the ; farms of their neighbors, and to get I n?w ideas from others. Every farmer 1 should make a strong effort to be present ; "Farmers Day", in my estimation, ; will be a means of persuading the farmers farm-ers io use better methods. Better agriculture agri-culture makes a better county from all standpoints to live in. Following is the complete schedule: Price Saturday, August 7th ; Elmo Monday, " 9th Cleveland Tuesday, " 10th Huntington. . Wednesday, " 11th Castledale Thursday, " 12th jOrangeville Friday,' " 13th ! Ferron, Saturday, " 14th ' Emery Monday, " 16th Everybody boost for "Farmers Day", come out, have a good time, get nw ideas, and continue boosting for your , town, your county, your state always, i Every farmer should make field seed ' selection of his crops this year for the purpose of having a seed plat this coming com-ing year in order to have better seed for planting. I Now is the time to start to make land , selections of your cereal crops, namely: oats, wheat, and barley. Choose Very strong, health pro'ific plants in the field. This method of selection should insure you of strong, healthy, good yielding plants for next year. A half of a burlap sack of grain heads this year should, if properly planted, multiply multi-ply sufficiently to plant a large acreage j ' three years hence. Do not forget your seed selection j ! work, farmers, as it is the best method of insuring heavy, heilthy plant pro- I duction on the farm for years to come, i Do not depend on your neighbors for i your seed supply. Often when seed ; looks good it mav be low in vitality and j may be a very poor yielder. Yclu can- , ! not tell what its yielding power will be ' if you select from the grain bin. This i season is now a good time to cease guessing. Let us make our selections ! in the field and oe sure we are getting 1 the proper plants. i Once more, all boost for "Farmers Day." Very respectfully, ; ROBERT H. STEWART, Farm Demonstrator Carbon and Emery' counties; Agent U. S. Department of j Agriculture. |
