WHEAT-EFFECTs OF LATE SOWING.
Mr.. J. II. Dodge, the statistician of
the Department of Agriculture in his
report for June, makes the following
remarks concerning the apparent cf-
feet of too late sowing:
"The fceblencss ard %unthrif,y APP
pcaraucc of the plant whenever appa-
rent, has almost universally beer at
tributed more TO late seeding than 10
any other cause. More than half the
crop was sown or drilled later Than it
should have been, and somewhat later
than usual. The severe drOuth in
the Southern and Middle States, and
the pressure of summer work delayed
by the unpropitiOus spring in the
West, together with the habit of de-
lay from which farmers suffer rs well
as other men, postponed the breaking
up of wheat lands while the unusual
ly early closing in of winter left The
plant scarcely above the frozen
surface, and in many instances not
even visible.
