WINTER WHEAT AT EXPERIMENT STATION
During the last ten years the Iowa ex-
pertinent station at Ames has given
considerable attention to the growing OF
winter wheat, with the result that only.
cnce during this period has the crop
been entirely winterkilled. The lowest
yield during this time was twenty-five
bushels, while the highest was ffty-tlye
bushels the average yield for the time
g..
crop, now within ten days Of maturity.
is fully up to the past record. This ex
perience demonstrates beyond q doubt
that at least large part of Iowa is
adapted to the growth of winter wheat
and also that yield of from twenty five
to fifty bushels may be obtained when
proper attention is given to the prepa-
ration of the soil and the right kind of
seed is used. This furnishes crop de-
cidedly more profitable than spring
Wheat

ton has given considerable attention "a

best results have been obtained from

derfully productive and very hardy, and
1t is thought that the time has arrived
when it should be distributed thruou,

that the experiment station sell this
| wheat in lots of from two to six bush
l3cls, the price being 90 cents per hushe
for selected seed, including sacks. AS 4
seeding of five or six pecks is sufficien,
| for an acre. the quantities mentioned
| will seed an area of from one and halt
| 10 four acres. AS it is the intention 10
| introduce this seed into every county IL
/ the state, the number OF orders that car
| be filled VIII necessarily be limited, moi
more than five being accepted from ors
/ county, 1t is also desired that thi.
4 wheat be placed III the hands of farm
Iers who could sow Ii with a drili, as Il
lis exceedingly important that winter
