Depth Of Sowing Wheat.
n. G. Farmer.

v.
Farmers who are wide awake and
gwen to investigation do not SOW so
much wheat to the acre as they former
" did, and do not SOW it SO deep. The
great, heavy harrows of ten or twenty
years ago are not now employed by
them in covering seed, and the drill
which can be depended on better, is
becoming universally popular. In the
broadcast sowing, after the ground Is
thoroughly prepared, the Thomas
smoothing harrow covers the seed deep
enough. 4 Wisconsin writer gives the
result of an experiment in planting at
different depths--on the surface, ono
fourth inch, One-half inch, three-fOurths
inch and so on to several inches. That
on the surface lay two weeks before
sprOutlng that one-fourth to three
fourth inches deep came up in four or
five days and so on, getting later as the
depth increased. The last to come up
was planted three-and- inches
deep, and was fourteen days in reach
ing the surface. At the end of six
weeks that planted one-fourth to one
half inch deep st God far ahead of the
rest.
