field district of .Manitoba. Mr. Mi-
chael, who was a marine engineer
and knew little about farming, tool
up his farm in 1921. It was then its
a neglected condition, ;the dwelling
house and one storey barn dilapidat-
ed, and only remnants of fences on
the land which was polluted with
sow thistle, wild oats and stinkweed.
All of his first and most of his sec-
ond season's grain -crop was ordered
A number of members of the -vVo-•cast by the Provincial Weed Commis-
sioner, and it was about this time
that the district came, under the not-
ice of the Experimental Farms. In

rotations were laid out During the
first two years a great deal of the
crop had to be cut early because of
weed infestation, but to -day the
whole farm is exceptionally clean,
the farm house remodelled, a modern
barn built, and the entire farm fenc-
ed in. Last season his herd of 11
cows produced an average of 7,780
pounds of milk. By adopting .a crop-
ping scheme, including a forage crop,
and by alternating alfalfa, grain and
summer -fallow, Mr. Michael has
transformed, in the .period of 11
years, this very weedy property into
a fine clean farm.
