Mr.. Elicott had selected wheat" as the
subject for discussion. The different mem bers
of the club expressed their views briefly on
the subject owing to the latenesS of the hour.
The object of the discussion was to get the
views of the members on the best wheat to
SOW, the amount TO SOW and the best fertilizer
Mr.. LOchary finds Fultz wheat the best. Sow
last OF September-1M bushels to the acre; if
very late. two bushels.
Mr.. Swartz sows Red and Fultz wheat
mixed. Got a yield of 80 bushels, on
September; has been experimenting with the
Gibson wheat; finds the straw too weak; sows
two bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Hanna: Fultz the best for this locality.
Tomato ground generally brings good wheat.
Put in six acres; spring-tOoth narrowed the
ground twice and sowed 500 pounds fertilizer
Yield $50 bushels.
Mr.. Lochary thinks cultvating corn ground
brings better results than blowing it.
the last of September Flowing corn ground
is better than cultivating. Sows ~ bushels to
the acre ana uses plenty of fertilizer.
Mr.. Silver: FultZ wheat the best; fills well
and stands up better than any other. Sows IA
bushels on fallow and two bushels on corn
ground; Cultivate rather than pillow. Has tried
DietZ wheat, and likes it very well.
MIR. Moores: Has sown FultZ wheat for the
last twenty years. Thinks it gradually i'm
proves. Believes that the Fultz wheat becomes
gradually bearded without being mixed. Likes
10 SOW about September 18th. Sows u bush
els TO the acre. Mixed n phosphate to n bone.
me portion of corn ground that was plowed
last year was a little better than that Guilt
waited.
DR.; Sappmgton: 81 paid So per busheI for
two bushels Of FultZ wheat in 1873, and have
not seen any as nice since"
Mr. HOPKINS agreed with the other members
OF the club that Fultz is the best wheat to
SOW. Prefers cultivating to blowing. If he
desired to set the ground in grass, lie would
plow. Has always plowed tomato ground for
wheat. Raises eight to ten bushels more off
strong ground sows IL bushels to the acre;
on ground not so strong, two bushels. If sown
early less seed can be used than for late SOW
ing.
Mr.. Webster thinks it best to mix wheat
Fultz and Red. Sow 1s4 bushels to the acre.
Sow as soon after September Goth as possible.
Mr. Webster had spent some of his spare mo-
ments counting the number of grains of wheat
in pint, and from this stimated that there
were 500. 900 grains in a bushel of wheat.
Mr. Harlan stared that he read of one grain
of wheat producing over 100 stalks and 500
grains of wheat This was exceptional. Got
the Dietz wheat four years ago: results favor
able, but the Futz is ahead and the most reli- |
able Sows Ia bushels to the acre. Cultivates
rather than pows. Slowed 15phosphate and "a |
bone last year. Will SOW all bone this year.
Sows as soon us possible after September 18TH, |
Mr.. Archer: Sows Fultz; sows early. IL |
bushels to the acre. Cultivate rather than
pillow. |
Mr. Thompson endorsed what Mr.. Archer |
said and urged early sowing. |
Mr. kcnly: FultZ the most satisfactory. Sow
early Cultivate corn ground. Sows IA bush |
els to the acre; on thin ground, more; if sown |
late. more. Sows bone broadcast and phos- |
plate with the drill.
Mr. Wysong thinks Fultz the best The re- |
port from the Experiment Station places
Fultz mt the head.
