Suggestion For Fam ers.

THE Commercial reporter of the
Madison Democrat, who claims TO
have twenty five years experience
in farming in Wisconsin, strongly
urges farmers to SOW spring wheat
sparingly this year. He argues as
follows:
the safe rule in southern Wisconsin ia 10 de.
vote all the acreage 10 spring wheat that can
be .eedcd prior TO April 4th, and 10 never
risk seed on spring wheat crop that cannot
he put In the ground prior 10 April lZtb.
The heavy SHOWS of the winter just passed
will in all probability result IN large yieid OF
winter wheat and the acreage throughout the
COUNTRY II large 80 there IL little profanity
of a scarcity Of wheat and consequent high
prices. The farmer should never lose risht
Of the venture he makes, and With little reason
TO calculate on a good crop, or even hall a
crop Of spring wheat, and also the almost
certainty that no fancy prices or even unus-
uaIy rCnumeTatiye prices, VIII RUE, tue de-
votion of seed labor, time and land 10 sprlu@
wheat crop this year would be unwisc. ~ Is
better for farmers 10 reconsider Their pians
for spring crops now, and devote their land.
&c, apart last fall for spring wheat, 10 oats,
corn barley and other crops. These seldom
fail. while the spring wheat crop Is venture
in this section of the country under the most
fayora BILE circumstances, and altogether TOO
much Of a speculative venture when the tltnc
Of seeding docs not arrive until after the md
die Of April. With dry Jane after lat
snriug. the land devoted to spring wheat Will
certainly not return the seed either In quantity
OF quality, while a dry June following WIN
Ter Of decp SHOWS is certain 70 produce the
largest corn crop
