On October Sd, at IL A. M, Mr.. Lester Smith,
storekeeper here, will give. an exhibit of the
Superior Disc Harrow and Disc Drill The
ground will be prepared and seeded. A field
has been selected that was in wheat last year
and is on the farm of Mr.. J. w. B. Clay
ton, at this place. 1t is claimed that these inn
plements will put the ground in better condi-
dition for wheat than to pillow, as blowing
makes it too light as wheat needs solid bot
tom, with about three inches of very fine soil.
Wheat is shallow feeder and for that reason
manure should never be plowed under for it,
but always top dressed and by so doing set
of clover is almost always assured.
The Maryland Agricultural College has ex-
perimented with lime with the result that
every plat on which lime was applied for
wheat got good set of clover and the between
plats where no lime was put had no clover.
Acting on this information some of the farmers,
together with myself, are going to apply lime
on several strips through our wheat fields this
fall We are getting it burned, ground and
bagged and delivered at Bradshaw. 1t is sup
piled by the ton and put in with the grain drill
before seeding, or on top after seeding, by
raising the teeth. By being enabled to apply
lime in this way farmers will come back to
using it and thus get their ground in mechan-
ical condition so as to again grow hay. They
have been depending on commercial fertilizers
and neglectiDg to lime.
