WHEAT GROWING Enthusiastically
has been at the trouble of cOndensiDg a
great deal OF information about wheat
growing into a very small compass: The
best soil for wheat is a rich clay loan.
Wheat likes a good, deep, soft bed. The
best seed is heavy, oily. plump and clean.
About two inches is the depth for sowing
the seed. The drill puts in the seed bet
ter and cheaper than broadcasting. From
the middle OF September to the last OF DC
tober is the best time for sowing. II drill-
ed. one bushel OF seed 10 the acre; If sown
broadcast, two bushels. One heavy roll
ing after sowing does much good. For
-four, cut when the grain begging TO har-
den. for seed, not until it has hardened.
