WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR
SURPLUS WHEAT?

Most of the farmers of Tenne ssee
have surplus Of wheat, and the ques>
ton is whether to sell now or wait I'M
til later in the season. Many of them
seem anxious to sell from the thresher.
1t is a question for each to determine
for himself. The most important thing
is to get your wheat safely put away,
where it will keep dry and sound, and
then do as may seem best about selling.
Whether you sell now or later, you
will find IL largely to your interest to
attend strictly to the condition of your
grain. The quality of the wheat is
generally good. The berry is large
and plump and nearly all the wheat
will class No. 2. We need not trouble
about market. The south will need
and want our wheat at a reasonable
price if we keep it sound and sweet and
do not force it on the market. Mills
are not inclined, nor is it their interest
to buy wheat now in its present damp
and unseasOned condition, except fol
mediate use, They cannot safely
store it in large quantities and if they
buy beyond their present demand fol
its products, they will naturally wan
to pay very low prices. After care

Cutting Over-Ripe Grass.

Cor. Prairie Farmer.
/ have always made it a rule to cut
timothy and other grass just as it was
going out of bloom. But one year l
had fine field which got left until
after wheat harvest. BY that time
the grass was very ripe, but as it stood
we'll decided to cut it, if only for
bedding purposes. But the first time
it was used l found next morning, to
my surprise, the hangers still full of
fresh, bright hay, and the bedding
eaten as far as the horses could reach
in their stalls. 1t was found upon
further trial that they would leave any
hay we could give them for that dry,
ripe timothy. | do not pretend to
offer any theory upon the matter, and
have never repeated the experiment.

WHEAT CULTURE WITH FERTI.
LINERS.

Prof. Glenn's Bulleton No. l, with
an interesting report of the tests Of the
various kinds of manures and fertili-
zers on wheat made at the State Elk
perimentS Station at Knoxville, has been
received, and contains much valuable
information for the wheat grower.
These experiments are the more valua'
BILE from the fact that they were made
on about 80 plats of ground and show
the relative value of fertilizers when
used in smaller or larger quantities. AS
much of the lands of Tennessee are
too poor to produce paying crops of
wheat without some sort of fertilizer,
it is of great Importance to the farmer

When to Thresh Wheat.

Cor, Prairie Farmer.
1t is often question which is most
economical, to thresh wheat out of the
shock or from the stack? Considerable
depends upon when it is desired to
thresh and market the crop. If it is
intended to thresh as soon as possible
after harvest and then market the
wheat it is most economical to do it
direct from the shock, as the labor is
something less, and at such times labor
is always expensive. Wheat when
stacked must be allowed to go through
the sweating" process, requiring about
six weeks. 1t is not in good condition
to thresh while this is going on. If
desirable to thresh before this time it
had better be done as soon after cut,
ting as possible, 1t is not good plan
to leave wheat standing in the shock
any longer than is unavoidable; there
is too much risk of danger from rains.
Wheat threshed from the shock
should be marketed as soon as possible.
In fact it will be good economy tc
have enough teams to haul direct to
market from the machine. If stored
stir it about to keep from heating. II
Southern standard. (McMinnville, Tenn.) 1879-current, 1884-07-12

requires no more teams and less hands
to haul direct to to the threshers than
to stack, while the work can be done
quickly,
{ Wheat, after being cut dries very
rapidly, and is usually in a good con-
dition to thresh as soon as it can be
done after shocking up. | do not like
to have it stand out long, and hence
urge upon farmers who want to follow
this plan to make their arrangements
in advance.

WHY'S IT?

When wheat is at fair price and in
demand farmers are disposed to hold
for better prices, but when it is very
low and no demand, many of them are
anxious to sell. There are very few
farmers that arc forced to sell their
surplus, and just now seems to be an
improper time to sell. $3.50,

for it. At present there is no settled
market price. Shippers can not de-
termine what to pay in the absence of
a demand. See that your wheat is
put away dry and sound and kept so
until you are ready to sell.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR FRUIT.

While the fruit crop may not be so
good as at first expected, there is a
pretty fair crop of apples, especially
Of the earlier varieties. We cannot,
at this early date, tell what dried fruits
will be worth, but it is safe to say that
they will readily sell at some price.
The earlier varieties are beginning to
ripen, and as they are perishable, they
should be taken care of as they ma.
ture and before they decay. Every
apple that natures is of value, and
Should be cared for. Those who have
fruit driers will have but little trouble
to take care of their fruit if they be-
gin in time and give it proper atten-
ton. They can carry on the business
day and night independent of the sun.
When provided with proper facilities,
the good wife with the aid of the chill.
dren can generally take care of the
small orchards. We noticed last year
that some women dried and sold their
fruit for more money than their hus>
bands made on all the other products
of the farm. This is not an uncom-
mon occurrence. @
We remember to have bought of
Mrs. Young, Of Cannon county, last
year, at one time, ninety odd dollars
worth of dried fruit, all dried by her.
self. She used a little $25 American
Evaporator. Many other ladies with
no Evaporator dry large quantities of
fruit. But like every other business,
to make it success, requires to 60 at
at it in earnest; begin the work in time
and stick to it until the last apple is
taken care of. Another important
thing is, to see that your fruit is well
pared and cored, and dried in the best
possible condition. 1t should be thor
oughly dried, and to command the
best prices should be bright and clean
and well packed. The cores and peel
ings can all be dried and sold for some
price for making jellies.
1t may not always be most pro6ta-
Bile to dry all your fruits. The late
varieties, such as will bear transporta-
ton, may be more profitable shipped
green. The idea is to begin in time
and dry all that cannot be used more
pro6tably in some other way. No
doubt there is enough fruit goes to
waste in Warren county, nearly every
year, that might be saved, to pay the
taxes of the county, outside the cor.
poration. All this waste is for the
want of proper care and attention at
the proper time. See to it that your
fruit is all taken care of so as tc
yield the greatest profit. Gentle
men who have fruit and have moi
the time to look after it, should en-
courage their wives by furnishing then
with driers and other facilities to take
care of it. 1t will pay, and pay well

to know what kinds and what quantiN
ties of manures and fertilizers to use to
produce the best paying crops. OF
course the soils of the various locali-
ties, differ in the elements requisite to
produce wheat, and the same quality
and quantity of fertilizers will produce
varied results.
From an examination of the tables
of experiments, we notice that most of
the commercial fertilizers when used in
larger quantities, do not increase the
products in proportion to the increased
quantity used. For example: In the
use of Baldwin's Bone Compound,
one hundred pounds at a cost of So.
produced 1886 bushels of wheat and
1Q1 pounds of straw, while 200 pounds
of the same fertilizer gave 1850 BUSH
els and 1913 pounds of straw, at a cost
of 81. 800 pounds of the same on
similar plat, gave 1878 bushels and
III pounds of straw.
From these and other experiments,
the proper quantity to use is just what
the wheat plant can appropriate to the
best advantage and no more. The
difference between the products of 100
pounds and 300 pounds of fertilizer, is
not in proportion to the difference in
cost Of these quantities The expert
ments show that 100 pounds Of most
fertilizers per acre, will pay better
profit than when larger quantities are
used. These experiments may be fur
Iher tested by the farmer, who, with a
little care and attention, may find just
what quantities to use for the best re-
suits on his lands. Some land may
require more of certain kind of fer
tilizer than others. The intelligent
farmer, by carrying a little further
these experiments, may arrive at a
comparatively correct knowledge of
what kind and quantity of commercial
fertilizers to be applied per acre for
wheat or any other desired crop. A
safe way is to begin your experiments
on a small scale, and use small quaint
ties, even less than 100 pounds per
acre and see the result. ."
Prof. Glenn experimental with some
larger lots. He says, "three half acre
lots were covered with heavy growth
Of young pea vines, the vines were
turned under some weeks before these
lots were seeded with wheat these
plats all gave excellent results. The

was considerably greater than that

To get the best results from barn
yard manure, it is perhaps best to grow
crop of peas or clover after applying
the manure, and follow with wheat.
Wheat, Mr.. Glenn says; is delicate
feeder and always does we'll after clio

are too poor for paying crops of wheat,
a good plan is to use fertilizers snG
