Conserves Probably Two to Six Inches of Rainfall in Summer Fallowing FARM-SIZE TYPES DIFFER M 34.00 Section Recommended for Di- 3 versification, Two for Grain- Growing, Less in Morton Almost without exception where grain farming is to be practiced, the more than 500 farmers who attended the series of four economic con ences held at Mandan, Carson, Ne England and Beach, between Oct. 21 and 31, advocate the duckfoot method of summer fal‘owing. These farmers " have found that this method gener: results in an acre yield more than double that ordinarily obtained by other methods, according to Rex E. Willard, farm economist in charge of the conferences. These confer- ences, sponsored by the extension service of the North Dakota Agricul- tural college, were for the purpose of considering economic and technical aspects of farming and homemaking. More than 160 farm women were also in attendance. The duckfoot method consists of spring tillage with a duckfoot or other implement if there is trash on the ground, as early as May 15, fol- lowed by from two to four cultiva- tions later in the season as conditions | ' demand. This system prevents weeds | . growing “nuch beyond the germina- tion state and conserves probably from two to six inches of the sea son's rainfall for the use of the fol- lowing year’s crop. The average yield ; of grain under this system over | long period of years amounts to more than 20 bushels per acre. Conditions Differ by Counties The conferences disclosed some | marked differences in conditions in the counties of Morton, Grant, Het- | tinger, Slope and Golden Valley. In| the more eastern counties of Morton and Grant, livestock makes up an im- | portant part of the business of vir- | tually every farmer. While grain is raised on most of the farms in these counties, it is not the main depend- | tinger counties, if diversification is ence for income.

CAR REGISTRATIONS SHOW GAIN OF 4.517 Total of New Passenger Autos for Ten Months if Year Is 23,250; in 1928, 18,733 Registrations of new motor cars in North Dakota for the first 10 months of 1929 were 4.517 in excess of similar registrations for the same period in local business service agency. Truck | registrations were 88 in excess of, truck registrations for the first 10, months of 1928. Passenger car and truck registra- , tions by leading North Dakota coun- ties during October follow: Barnes county, 48 passenger cars, ; nine trucks; Burleigh, 42 passenger cars and seven trucks; Cass, 128 pas- senger cars, 19 trucks; Grand Forks, 97 passenger cars and 17 trucks; Morton, 32 passenger cars and six, trucks; Ramsey, 65 passenger cars| and 10 trucks; Stutsman, 45 passen- | ger cars, five trucks; Ward, 111 pas- senger cars and 18 trucks.

L. Walster, agronomist, North Dakota Agricultural ment station. North Dakota's aver- age of 9.3 bushels per acre is 2.8 bush- eis under the five-year average of 12.1 bushels per acre, according to the October 1 crop report of the di- vision of crop and livestock estimates of the United States department of agriculture. The highest average yield per acre is reported for northeast North Da- kota area, 10.6 bushels per acre, and the lowest for the central area, 7.2 bushels per acre. The northeast aroa which includes Cavalier, Grand Forks, Nelson, Pembina, Ramsey, Towner and Walsh counties has the largest | durum acreage of the crop reporting areas in the state. Much of the decreased production of durum wheat in North Dakota is attributable to the decreased acreage of the crop. The 1929 durum crop constituted 41 per cent of the total spring wheat acreage whereas the 1928 crop constituted 48.8 per cent of the total spring wheat acreage. Durum acreages reached their maxi- mum in 1928 as did also the produc- ion. North Dakota's production of dur- um for 1929 totaled 36,744,000 bushels according to the Oct. 1. 1929, United States department of agriculture di- vision of crop and livestock estimates. Attention is called to the fact that the September 1 estimates issued by the same office placed North Dako- ta’s average yield of durum at 9.6 bushels per acre and the total produc- tion at 37,930,000 bushels, the October | 1 revision being over a million bushels | less than the September 1 forecast. _| ‘When comparisons are made with the quality of previous crops, the fact is brought out that although the 1929 | crop averages only 0.1 of a pound lighter in test weight than the 1928 experi- the path to fame with all its fun and adversities.
