A Il, Wheat.

Drill sowing Of winter wheat is the
principle Of success.
Don't forget to harrow the wheat land
each day as it is plowed; then harrow
each week till seeding.
1t costs about five bushels per acre
average to seed wheat after wheat. 1t
we're wiser to have clover always follow
the nitrogen-consuming wheat crop. Q
Wheat farming is not a business to be
taken up one year and abandoned the
next. The crop has a legitimate place
in the rotation Of mixed farming. and it
should be grown each year without
much reference to striking a favorable
selling market.-Nebraska Farmer.

There will be a larger area of winter
wheat sovn in this township, this fall,
than ever before in the history Of Platte
county.
Sam Drinnin shipped an order of seed
winter wheat last Saturday to his uncle
at Galesburg, ILL.,; ever in the east the
farmers are getting tired Of raising from
10 to l. bushels Of spring wheat to- the
acre.
Last Sunday afternoon Henry Seipp,
who works for Jacob Bachman on the
Rohde farm three miles northeast Of the
city, met with a very painful accident
while spending the afternoon with an
associate two miles north Of where he
