A Large Eddy County
Farmer viii Try a
Flax Crop. ....
Experience in Wheat Raising
and Preparation Of the
Ground.
Status Of the Ownership Of
the Opera House and
Block.

he has decided to change the wheat crop
this year on his farms to flax. and will
SOW 700 acres Of ground already prepared
for wheat, to flax, with 20 quarts of seed
to the acre, using press drills. Flax rip
ems in about nine weeks after seeding,
and if the season is favorable it IS be-
lleved that the crop can be harvested
and threshed ont before wheat is ready,
and got IN the market ahead of the fall
rush of flax which breaks down prices.
By this means it is possible to take ad
vantage of the present high price of flax,
and this outlook has induced the change
from wheat. Mr.. Richter obtained seed
from farmers in the neighborhood. He
will use a press drill to put IN the crop,
which the usual large waste can be pre-
vented.
Speaking of wheat growing, Mr.. Richter,
we'll to do farmer from Eddy county,
who has disposed of a general store and
lumber business at his point and intends
farming right along in North Dakota,
says: No farmer ought to raise wheat
year after year on the same ground. The
turning under of the straw SO many
times makes the ground light and the
moisture is easier evaporated. Straw
turned under in this country in the fall
does not rot as in wetter land. and bright
clean straw Is bonnd to be under the sur.
face when grain is sowed IN the spring
Half the land used for wheat should be
summer fallowed every time. BY doing
this less expense in help is required to
! raise the grain on the other half, an ad-
ditional yield is always obtained, with
less risk and expense. l have farmed
here seven years and believe that SOW
ing broadcast and narrowing up the land
IS the great mistake farmers make. In
Illinois the cornfields are marked off one
way sud dropped another, and the
ground disturbed as little as possible.
10 the spring, here. there IS always a
crust on the plowed fields, left by snow
and water. This packs the ground and
keeps out the air, making the evapora-
ton Glow and and helps the wheat when
1t needs moisture in the months OF May
and June The only way to SOW wheat
is by press drills which break up this
crust as little as possible.
Another good plan have found, is to
roll each night before leaving the field,
what summer fallowed blowing mao
does during the day. This packs the
ground when damp. retains moisture,
keeps out weed seeds, and have always
observed, gave me better results. 1t
only takes short time to roll what is
plowed each day, and makes an almost
sure crop next year, il sowed by drills.
Wheat growing on land prepared this
way makes less work in the spring, and
the weeds do not get the start. would
not have my ground sowed broadcast, If
done for nothing.
