This grain is prepared by the state and is sold at cost to those who want to use it. This wet weather will probably put a damper on the enthusiasm of several farmers who have been planning to install "irrigation plants this spring. The agent has had a dozen or more inquiries lately in regard to pumping water for irrigation, and has made to utilize more completely and more efficiently the roughages and by-products of the range and semi-range sections of the country. Several projects are being studied. One experiment upon two lots of heifers is to determine the effect of age at which calves are dropped upon dam and subsequent calf crop, and also to determine the effects of two different types of bulls.

In this experiment one lot of heifers are 1red to calve at two years of age, and a second lot to calve at the age of. three. Upon these heifers two types of bulls are being used. One is the so-called finer type, or show type, the other the rough, rugged and heavy boned kind. The plan anticipates the alternation of the two bulls each year for eight years on both groups of heifers.

At the end of eight years there will be four crops of calves by each bull from each group of heifers. The result will afford an opportunity to see the effect of age upon the dropping of calves and also on the relative value of the two types of bulls for range use. Individual records are kept on every individual in this- experiment. In a second experiment, on dry feed versus silage for growing and wintering steers, two lots of steers dropped in the spring of 1920 are being used. Lot 1 was fed on dry roughage during the winter of 1920.

Lot 2 was wintered on silage. Both lots were grazed together in the summer of 1921. Each lot was fed the same during the winter of 1921 as they were fed in 1920 and will be grazed together in the summer of 1922. Individual records are kept on these steers. Four lots of 10 cows each are being used to ascertain the relative value of cane with the heads on and heads off, fed from the silo and from the shock.

Each lot of cows is receiving a pound of cottonseed cake per day per head. One lot gets the cane silage with heads off and another lot cane silage plans for irrigation systems for some- priiriLjg Fe veir AinidL Yotulit Motolby inchcfpfn all, ma'e things look as if I of them.

Aside from the regular demonstrations and reports of the experimental work in raising crops and feeding live stock, a stock judging contest among the visiting high school students, will be held.
