Better wheat.

Prof. Jas. II. Shepard, of the U. S.
experiment station Of this city, de-
livered an interesting paper before
the Tri-State Grain Growers associa-
tion which assembled at Fargo week
before last. Prof. Shepard's theme
was Increase In Yield" The Mime
apolis Journal in its report of the ad-
dress says:
After reviewing the main factors
involved, to the great interest and
profit Of his hearers, the professor
made the following deductions:
First-Conserve the soil moisture
by thorough tillage, better blowing
and by a plentiful supply Of coarse
humus. Humus from stubble and
straw will answer.
Second-Guard against blowing by
a plentiful supply OF coarse humus,
and by the use of press drill.
Third-Modify, IL possible, the
effect of hot winds by conservation OF
soil moisture, and as rapidly as possi-
BILE by plowing hedge rows and wind
breaks.
Fourth-Provide a plentiful supply
OF soluble plant food by having an
abundant quantity Of decaying humus
rich In nitrogen. That from barn
yard manure, green crops plowed
under or fed off ON field is preferred.
Practice crop rotation and keep more
stock. Do not raise weeds. If any
start, pillow them under green or feed
them off with sheep. Plow the wheat
field as soon as the crop Is removed.
Fifth-Sow pure, graded seed wheat.
Remember that like begets like. Do
not SOW weed seeds.
Sixth-Deepen the plowiug grad
ually, increasing continual lily the sup
ply Of humus, thus affording more soil
for the use OF the nitrifying bacteria.
When you can find plow better
adapted to our soils, buy IL.
Seventh-Prepare firm seed bed,
mellow on top. Use the harrow more
literally. Sow with the press drill
across the directions of the prevailing
winds.
Eighth--Give due heed the forego-
ing details. Do not expect maximum
results by improving In one or two
particulars only, where so many fac.
tors are concerned.
