EDITOR SOUTHERN PLANTER.
Shrubbery Hill, Hanover County, VI


Friend Williams In compliance with my
promise, send thee the following statement:
Some years ago, | hired man to cut wheat
who did not give satisfaction. | discharged
him. As he left the field where the hands were
at work, he passed through piece of wheat that
was just in the dough state, and being angry at
being discharged, cut row through the field. The
| season was wet one, and the rust attacked that
field. When we came to reap it, | found the
row he cut and left on the ground, we'll flied,
plump wheat, while all around it was scarcely
worth cutting.
Some time back saw a recommendation in the
Planter from MIR Garnet, to proceed to and
shock wheat in wet weather. AS an experiment,
[ cut and shocked thirteen shocks of wheat that
was barely ripe, in ,driz8ng rain. Some DAYS
afterwards the weather became fine. | opened
and dried ten of the Shocks fearing to risk so much
[ found them keeping we'll. The remaining three
Shocks cured and kept we'll any shocks put
up that season.
L mentioned this circumstance to an old and
experienced farmer, who informed me that the
wheat kept because it had not fully matured and
dried when cut. That when wheat became fully
matured and dry, it could not be put up without
spelling, asit would certainly heat and sprout He
further said that he had cut and shocked green
wheat that cured we'll without being opened
Last harvest cut and put up shock of wheat
in very green state which cured WE'LL the grain
was plump and fine. Having heard that seed
wheat should always be allowed to thoroughly ripen
before being cut, kept that shock and sowed it to
itself; it came up WELL and is now looking as well
as the rest of my wheat, on the same quality of
land | therefore conclude, 1st. That it is best to
cut wheat that is likely to have the rust as soon as
1t is in the dough state. I'd. That it is not safe
to cut and shockwheat fully matured except when
dry
do not wish any farmer to do more the present
season than make experiments to test the truth of
the above conclusions. Respectfully,
