PRIZES FOR WHEAT GROWERS.
Some Timely Suggestions on Wheat
Culture

Greenville, -Special.-The presenta-
ton of the prizes, awarded in the
wheat contest in our county during the
past season was made according 20 an
nouncement in the court house Al
though there was large number of
farmers in town the attendance On
this meeting was very slim, politics
appearing to predominant every other
interest. The meeting. OF which Col.
X. r. Bowen was elected chairman
was interesting rs an interchange of
experiences among some OF the farm
ers present. and in its course some val
liable practical hints were thrown out.
The preparation for and cultivation of
the wheat crop was the topic of d e.
cusSIon.
The value OF sowing the. land. in
tended for wheat. in peas as a fertilizer
was strongly emphasized. 1t was
brought out that fine wheat crops are
made on the same land. year after
year. where peas are made to follow
the wheat and turned under. In en-
riching land for truck-farming several
crops of peas are sown in Il single sea
son, each crop being turned under
when about s or 10 inches high. Peas.
1t was pointed out. do not need cotton
seed meal as Il fertilizer. but some
phosphate is necessary.
The method OF preserving the grain
when cut. were next touched upon. and
the concensus of opinion was. do not
thrash your wheat while il is damn. II
is far better. even in such exceptional
~ wet weather as we had during the
past season. to leave it capped in the
deld and let it dry perfectly when
lear weather does come than to thresh

that IL was impossible to get pretty
