RUSSIANS AMAZED BY DAKOTA FARMS AND BIG MACHINES Visitors to Bismarck and Man- | dan From Moscow Betray An- | tiquated Methods at Home Five Russsians left here today after ® day spent in getting their amazed eyes opened to the complexities of | American mechanical agriculture. | They are from the Soviet agricultural College at Moscow and it was under- stood that they were farming ex- | perts, but when it came to combines and headers and gang plows and the | like, they showed such a lack of knowledge about farm machinery that it was plain they were not thir- ty-second degree agriculturists. They went from here to Dickinson to make | further observation of farm methods. Friday afternoon was spent at Mc- | Kenzie by the visitors, A. R. Miesen, county agent, taking them there to observe the operation of combines on some of the big farms in that com- munity. It was their first view of that type of grain cutting, and the big machines astounded the visitors. They knew nothing of combines being used in Russia, they said. On the return trip they saw a head. er at work in a field. “What is it’ they inquired. “Did the farmer make it himself?” In their country they said the old walking plow still is in use. Rus- sia, according to what they revealed in their visit, is even more strikingly behind the times than commonly sup- Posed to be. It will be a great field for sale of farm machinery if the purported agricultural policy of the Soviet regime is genuine and not a Smoke screen thrown out to tempt bie country into diplomatic recogni- ion. In the party are A. Fress, inter- Preter, and Professors V. N. Loubianko, N. A. Burianenko, M. M. Wolf and 8. G. Vijansky, all of Moscow. The visitors availed themselves of the official courtesies of A. R. Miesen, county agent, who took them to sev- eral farms around Bismarck, after Which the party went to Mandan and Spent the forenoon in inspecting the Northern Great Plains experiment station. At the station they saw some wheat still green and’ growing in experi- mental plots and some wheat already cut, a lot of fine barley plots, oats that will give a good yield. and corn that has marvelously weathered the long dry spell, Director J. M. Stevens and J. C. Dilmen, the flax expert, explained on methods by which such fine ‘ops were grown uncer dry land con- Gitions, and, as Russia will have to al wich similar conditions in its They have been on the road for five weeks, traveling by automobile, and Boy Soldier Impressed C.

Say, they have some system for getting you into this camp. Zip, bang; out of your civies, take a bath, cough, sneeze, bow and scrape before a bunch of doctor's; down the alley and catch some uniform clothes like the old fire horses used to get into the harness, and out the other end of the place. We've been through it all, and here sit Jim and I dressed like soldiers, with overseas caps, khaki breeches, gold dew-dads on our collars and all the trimmings. It was fun watching the other kids come in after we were through. Some looked as scared as I felt the night the old cow bellered at me out at the cemetery; some so short they could hide in this year's growth of wheat, and some so tall they'll cither have to have two bunks or let their fect hang over. Nearly forgot to tell you that we got paid our mileage money —five cents a mile for the whole dis- tance from home—and the first thing I did was go buy a bunch of candy. ‘You know how I am about my chow. Old Sergeant Spuds gave us porridge and cream, milk, coffee, scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast, and I sure did eat. But you know me, Sis. I'm always hungry. Well, anyhow, I bought this candy at a place they call the Post Exchange. Why they call it that I don't know, because I didn’t see any posts, and the only exchange made was my money for the money’s worth. They have some names for things around these Army places. An Office is a “headquarters,” or if it is in a tent, they call it an “orderly room.” A young lieutenant is a “shavetail”; an officer's house is “quarters”; a chaplain is “Holy Joe”; the doctor is “Sawbones,” or “pill roller”; and a guy who was pounding down some tent pegs told me that a sergeant was a “buck passer.” I can't keep up to them yet, Sis, but I'll learn. There goes a whistle. Time for chow again. And after supper tonight there will be an entertainment, with music, singing, boxing and wrestling. Some one with a voice like a bull is hollering “Outside for chow.” So long, Sis. Me for the chow. Your loving brother, Buck. Cass County Wheat Averages 12 Per Cent Content of Protein Fargo, N. D., Aug. 3.—(4)—Four samples of Marquis wheat raised in Cass county averaged 12 per cent protein, according to C. E. Mangels, cereal chemist at the North Dakota Agricultural college. Such a limited number of samples, however, Man- gels said, does not furnish an authen- tic guide in establishing the average protein content of wheat raised in expect to travel through North Da- kota, and will watch power machinery in_ operation, being particularly in- terested in late developments in that field of farming. From this state the Russians will g0 west to inspect other experiment. station plots. Montana will be the rext state visited. Huntley offers op- Portunities to study American large- scale agriculture of a diversified char- acter, with its government-owned Holstein dairy herds, its sugar beet and alfalfa culture, summer fallowing and rotation, and the visitors may stop off to see Dan Hanson, the sta- tion director, whose fame as an agri- cultural sharp has extended as far as where the Volga boatmen chant the Jay Chaliapin has made famous. The visitors did not know today whether they would run over to see ‘Tom Campbell's vast farming opera- tions near Hardin, on the Crow res- ervation in Montana, though methods such as Campbell employs would be in the line of research the party is undertaking. . The Russian group spent Thursday at the agricultural college at Fargo. A large part of the day was spent in company with Dr. H. L. Walster, dean of agriculture, visiting the plots at the North Dakota experimental tion. The party also visited the depart- ment of farm economics in charge of Rex E. Willard, the farm management department in charge of Cap E. Mil- ler, the agricultural engineering de- partment in charge of R. C. Miller, and other departments.

Aug. 3.—Linton is a clean little city, believes Henry Witt- mayer, local custodian of the city pumping station. - i To give weight to his assertion he points out that 60,000 gallons of wa- ter are being used daily by local people. This is about double the average consumption, he said, and to furnish it the local pumping station is kept in nearly continuous operation. The drought and extreme heat cause the heavy use of water, he says.
