Take two plots of heavy soil sid by

Narrowing Wheat in the Spring.

| ErITuR ONO FARMER-We learn mucl
by the experience of others, as well as ou
own. SIX OF seven years ago, | had twl
! pieces, oi wheat, sUwn in different fields
| One piece, Of twenty acres, was snwn OF
! corn-stubble. Tie other piece, of eign
acres, On oat, slubblc, was in field. the bai
ance of v hicb had been sonn in clover dnC
other grasses; and | wished 10 s.w TIL:
piece in wheat and clover.
1t was pIowed up in September, and
about the first of June sOwn IN alediterri'
mean wheat A lew days afterwards, the
twenty acres of corn-stuhble was SOY n
in the same manner, bushel and half pei
| acre.
In tie following sp:ing, about the lst oi
March, OBJ erved that the piece of wheat
sown on oat stubbie looked very thin anC
badly, while ti.at OF the corn-stub5ie locke d
green and fourishing. After few day.,
was unde .ermined whether or not to Ilow
up the piece of wheat on the oat-stubble.
/ determined To sow clover seed ON the
wheel, and harrow it in. Thinking the
wis al yalueiess. aas MT uneasy about in
juring il viii the harrow; and il | did, emy
o,ner piece OF wheat, which ives on bet c
land, promised to make enough for family
use. We never sod any wheat then, as it
vas only worth forty or fifty cents per
busbei.
On the e:h OF March, ! finished sowing
clover seed on The eight acre, piece, and on
the 10Th, finished narrowing ii, both ways.

teeth, which pulverized the ground, and

did rot see this piece of wheat again
until went to examine if my clover seed
coming up. found it up beautifully, and
TO my surprise, none of the wheat was kill
ed by narrowing, and it looked thicker,
preener, and more luxuriant than the gother
piece Ii continued to flourished, ,and yield
ed twenty bushels per acre, while the piece
sown on con-siubDIe only produced fifteen
bushels per acre, which | also considered a
good crop.
Query. Was i t the narrowing that caused
the difference of FIVE bushels per acre. in the
two pieces; or was it because one piece was
sown on oai, and thr other on corn-stubble
or because one piece was sown a few days
earlier than the other! J. B. o.
