DriIIingf i'm Wheat.

If anything is settled in agricultural
preaching and experience for the last
twenty-five years, the advantages of
drilling wheat, over broadcast sowing. is
one of them. In this section wheat is
almost universally drilled in; but among
our subscribers in other sections, and
especially the South and Southwest,
broadcast seeding and covering with
the common harrew is still mostly in
vogue. t,li
In one of the Agricultural Reports
from the Department at Washington,
where statistics of the crops from every
section are collected, there has been a
remarkable agreement in stating that
drilled wheat has been found not to suf-
fer so much from freezing out in winter.
This results from the seed being put
in and covered at greater depth than
it can be with the common harrow, and
also being covered with more uniformity.
