A diversity OF opinion lstsamong
the farmers in regard to the proper
time to SOW wheat. We are now
speaking of the farmers of northern
Iowa, northwestern Wisconsin, the
whole Of Minnesota and Dakota, and
we have reference to spring wheat.
Some are in favor of sowing the seed
as soon as the ground can be worked
in the spring, or as soon as the soil is
sufficiently thawed, so that the grain
be decently covered; others wait until
the earth is more dry, while another
class wait still longer, and do not
SOW the grain until the weather is
warm, contending that the seed will
sprout and come up at once, and the
grain will 20 right along without any
back.set from cold weather or frost,
and that it will reach maturity as
soon as the early.sowed fields.
From long observation, and many
years Of personal experience in both
Hennepin and Mcleod counties in
this State, we have long since come
to the conclusion that in most of the
years it is best to SOW the wheat just
as soon as the grain can possibly be
got in the ground. Our neighbors as
well as ourselves always had the best
and heaviest crops Of wheat when the
seeders or the harrow teeth grated
against the frozen earth while drag.
ging the ground over in order to cover
the seed. If the soil is moist and
wet 1t makes no difference. Get the
seed In, and If it Is good seed, as all
seed should be, there will be no dan.
ger but that it will come up at the
proper time, because good seed. wheat
will not rot in the ground from the
fact of it being sowed early. We
would much prefer to have frosts
and snow fall on the ground after it
is sowed, rather than to wait until
the ground Is dry and warm before
sowing. The action ofthese elements
that is frost and snow on the already
sowed fields, has some strange and
unaccountable advantage which we
never could fathom, explain or ac-
count for. We have known the seed
of fields Of wheat muddied in, after
which they were visited by frosts and
snow storms, and when harvest time
came around the yield was much
greater than adjoining fields sowed
weeks later when the warm weather
had made its appearance, but yet we
have known some years, when late
sowed wheat returned larger yield
than early.sowed, though these are of
rare occurrence.
There Is hardly a season but that
regular simeon passes over the prair.
ies-usually just before the wheat is
in the dough. Some years 1t lasts
only two days; others, three or four,
and in few instances we have known
the hot, swift wind and extreme
warm weather to continue for week.
This visitation shrinks and ripens the
late sown grain so suddenly and pre-
maturely that the crop suffers. On
the other hand, early sown wheat
does not suffer 80 much, even II 1t Is
not further advanced than the late
sown, by this extraordinary warm
spell Of hot air and extreme warm
weather.
