mulching Winter wheat at the Expert
mental University farm in Iowa, while not
conclusive, is favorable to this practice
Professor Henry II. McAfee says that,
taken with former experiments with straw
and long manure as mulch, he feels sang

grain may be raised at least two years out
of every three, and recommends to farmers
generally trail of Winter wheat in limited
quantities, with reasonable protection.
Care should be taken not to get the mulch
