How Much Seed whcat9

How much seed wheat should be sown
on an acre? This question refuses to be
settled and partly because the amount
required depends upon the strength and
condition of the soil. The richer the
soil and the finer the seed bed the less
amount of grain required, writes Prai-
RE Farmer correspondent. He says:
There are enough grains in bushel and
a peck of wheat to produce an enormous
growth of straw on n rich soil. Three
pecks have proven sufficient under most
favorable conditions. although such thin
seeding is unsafe. On the other hand. a
wet soil liable to freeze out wheat or a
thin soil will stand heavy seeding. In
the first case the thicker growth protects
from frost, and in the latter there is little
stooling, and the number of plants should
be greater
The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1893-09-06
Heavy Seeding For Rich Land.

AS an almost invariable rule the rich
est soil needs the heaviest seeding. We
have been told that the small grains are
an exception to this, as on rich soil the
plant tillers, SO that light seeding will
produce n large number of stalks. But
the exception is not SO real rs it seems.
The thin seeding may grow SO vigorously
as to send up n large number of shoots
and fairly cover the ground. But this
moro vigorous growth is accompanied by
excess of leaf and weakness of straw
which prevent the grain from filing as
it should.
We can see this occasionally where
single grains of oats are dropped in cul-
tivating corn or potatoes. The crop is
sure to rust and be worth very little
either for straw or grain. On the other
hand, too heavy seeding of small grain
on poor land cannot fill out large, plump
heads of grain. The crowding, which is
a benefit on rich soil, is there most inju-
rious. Even i'll planting potatoes n rich
soil requires that the hills be close enough
together so that the potatoes shall not be
overgrown, while i'll poor soil single eyes
with hills three feet apart will give more
marketable tubers than will a heavier
seeding. Cultivator.

Harvesting by 7rachinery-Picked Over
by Hand For Market.
Ii any reader will go to western New
York to the northern part of Monroe.
Orleans or Niagara counties, north of
the Central railroad, extending to Lake
Ontario. he will find section where
farmers raise all tho way from l to
100 acres Of beans. When grown OH a
large scale. these beans are harvested by
means of one of the modern devices con-
structcd for the purpose: operated by
one or more horses. y western New
York beangrower tells in The Farm
journal just how the bean harvest is
conducted in his locality. He says:
"There are machines for pulling made
with knives. The newest patterns have
rotary knives that cut the stalk off Just
below the ground, cutting two rows at
once. Men with pitchforks follow, fork
ing the vines into winrows of four rows
each. When dried, they are piled in
punches, and as soon as thoroughly dry
drawn to the barn. We have bean thrash
ers made expressly for the purpose.
Some of these are run by steam, similar
to wheat thrashers.
after running through the tanning
mill they are sold to buyers or dealers.
If very black or spotted, they have to
be picked over by hand.
every buyer has all his beans hand
picked before shipping. For this purpose
they have large, well lighted room, with
tables arranged around the sides. The
beans are brought in spouts before each
picker, when they arc sorted and swept
into barrels placed beneath the tables.
The pickers are seated around the tables
on stools. They are paid by the barrel,
or when they are taken homo and sorted
they arc paid by the pound, that is, they
pay or "a cents per pound--for all the
poor beans picked out.
1.-The poor beans are fed to sheep or
boiled and fed to other stock, even TO
horses. Farmers have been engaged in
bean raising for over 80 years in this sec
ton. Tho price per bushel has been as
high as s., but usually varies from 81 to
So or $3.50. There arc other sections in
this state, and also in Michigan, where
they are beginning to raise large quaint
ties"
Tho bean crop is harvested in the alb
sence of a machine for the purpose by
pulling the plants up by hand, laying in
rows on the ground. and when suffi-
GENTLY cured putting in small stocks or
taken to the barn, and in due time
thrashed out and cleaned.
