On the Cultivation of Wheat.
To the Il iltor OF tho Herald.
Wheat is IN important crop for this
section of Texas, commonly understood TO
be north Texas?"
Farmers should not despair on account of a
failure in the crop for one or two years
There have been fine crops raised, and can,
and will be again. II is a valuable crop and
should not be abandoned. 1t is, almost, in
dhpensib.e Us winter pasture. 1t is the
best and cheapest mode of keeping cattle
through the winter makes the finest milk and
butter, and the pasturing detracts nothing
from the yield Of grain. 1t is worth sowing
for the pasture alone. 1t may not be 50 GER
tam as some other crops, or as that crop ia In
other places; but there has been remarkable
fine yields here, and some times succession
Of fine crops for Ave or six years. We have
seldom had total failure, and not more
than two or three short crops in succession
at any time. What 10 called a short crop
here, five to ten bushels per acre is, in many
countries, thought 10 be pretty fair yield.
There is very little doubt among farmers, but
the surest and bes. crops have been raised,
from what we understand to BIO the Texas
Rcd May wheat. Crops have been raised
from that seed equal to the best crops in the
world, considering the mode of cullivsting.
When the seasons have been at all adapted
to the growth of wheat, that kind has gener-
ally done tho best. Some experiments have
been made in other kinds of seed, but with
no better success than with what we call our
"little Red May"
