provineinl seed fairs he won second
prize for Marquis spring wheat in 1926
and first prize for barley in 1927

Just at the close of 1927 he Inunched
a new movement when he shipped to.
Prince Rupert the first carload of al-
falfa hay ever sent out of the valley,
t’e quality of which was said to be of
the highest. : Hitherto many Bulkley
¥Yalley farms have been run poor by
the coutinued growing of Timothy hay
Moreover, it has been proven time and
again that at normal prices this crop
does not pay. Por years the depart-
ments of agriculture,’ both Dominion
and Provincial have been advising the
farmers to turn to something — else.
Mr. Dockrill's demonstration will serve
as a praeticle demonstration of ‘the
soundness of that advice, and it may
have far‘teaching results.
