a} 7 Iv “ ie - Farm Resources in Golden Valley +e & j Summer-Fallowed Land, Ceres Wheat Attest to Work of County Agent 80 Shelterbelts, Featuring Bad- land Cedar, Dot Missouri Slope Area Lives of “G-Men,” county agents, for instance, oft remind us that their footprints may be traced upon the contour of the country. The footsteps of J. Clayton Rus- sell, for the past 16 years agricul- tural extension agent, may be traced all over Golden Valley county with ease and interest. There are more acres of summer fallowed land in Golden Valley than in any of the adjoining counties, more acres of Ceres wheat in com- parison with other varieties and all of the flax in the county is wilt re- sistent. One of the easiest ways of tracing the footsteps of the county agent in Golden Valley is to make an examina- tion of some 80 shelterbelts planted in the county. A particularly telltale mark in the landscaping of Golden Valley county is the regular appearance of small Badlands cedar trees in gardens, shelterbplts, residential yards and even in’ the landscaping of the fine large courthouse at Beach. County Agent Russell's car has carried hundreds of those little cedar trees in trips about the county and the graceful evergreens have a way of showing up just where they are most needed to give an artistic flour- ish or a showing of color. Badlands cedars, native to the coun- try, take root easily and grow rapid- ly. Thus far farmers have been able to secure them at Httle or no cost. The trees retain their greenness in winter, withstand drouth and increase - in beauty with the years. Makes Interesting Study Tracking “G-men” in different counties may become an_ interesting study in future years. Footsteps of the deceased county agent, C. C. Eastgate, may be traced in the alfalfa fields of Slope county and in the number of irrigated gardens. Dif- ferent agents have done distinctive work in other counties. The work of County Agent Russell is written in the large number of summer tilled acres, but there are greater agricultural accomplishments which may be traced to this govern- ment man whose long record of serv- ice gives opportunity to study re- sults. For several years Russell conduct- ed a project to learn what caused higher protein content in wheat. This single-handed project, the first of its kind ever tried in the United States, proved that weeds lowered the protein content in wheat. These tests, which Russell carried through four years, brought out other facts of prime im- portance to wheat growers, agricul- ture and the milling industry. He demonstrated in a new manner the Reavy cost of allowing weeds in fields. Russell has done other original work. For instance, there are 24 cis- terns on farms in Golden Valley county, built on farms built and ‘owned by the county agent. Rus- sell charges a small rental fee_and as more farmers conserve water for Household use he eventually will re- ceive a return of his original invest- ment. He also has built forms for a cement root cellar which numerous farmers have found practical to use. Club Members Now Farmers The first club boys who worked with Russell in the early years of his residence and regime as county agent are, with the exception of two who have gone forth into other lines of endeavor, farming for themselves right in Golden Valley county. Probably because Russell conducted an intensive summer tillitig campaign in 1923 the county has a larger acre- age in summer fallow than any in southwestern North Dakota. Golden Valley county has a larger screage of Ceres wheat than most western counties. During a few days in the early spring of 1926 Russell used the telephone to sell 1,400 bushels of Ceres seed wheat, which may be the reason that fully 70 per cent of| the wheat in Golden Valley county is Ceres and less than 30 per cent Marquis. we roemnerly there was a bad mixture of grains. In the county com- stration plats of the different varie- ties of wheat, and farmers coming to the county seathad an opportunity to view and decide for themselves ad- vantages of growing the best varieties. * ke + Golden Valley County Through Eyes of the Camera aos xe * Tourists, motoring through western North Dakota, remember these scenes in addition to the beauty and grandeur of the North Dakota Badlands. 1.

Another project proved to farmers that the use of super-phosphate ripened wheat 6 days earlier. Poisoned Prairie Dogs Another way in which to trace “G-Man” Russell about the county is to view the deserted Prairie dog towns, The county agent cistributed 223 bushels of poison in 1934 and villages of these destructive rodents were destroyed in a campaign which virtually cleaned the county and re- cinimed thousands of acres of farm land. Russell, who has aided with every silo campaign, has a distinctive type) silo, His special form calls for a 13- foot deep pit silo with 8 feet above the turface of stone and cement rein- forced with hog fence, making a silo 21 feet deep. There is an independent livestock shipping association at Beach which Russell aided in organizing in 1922. The association handles an average of 40,000 head of livestock annually. Stiip farming, a comparatively new farming method, was started in Gol- den Valley county. A field is divided in three parts. One part is in sum- mer fallow while two of the narrow scrips are in wheat. This arrange- ment allows summer tilling while pre- venting soil blowing. Double corn rows also are run througn fields to preventing drifting of soil. Farming is managed upon a aif- ferent scale than in the years from 1909 to 1912, Even in 1934, the driest year this section has ever known, Golden Valley farmers soic 80,000 bushels of seed wheat to the federal gevernment and Golden Valcy, on the highest plateau in the state, bought no Red River Valley straw last year.
