invention. He designed a light wagon.

and came into general use. He also In

himself. Mr.. @. NJ. Beeson has not had
a single complete failure in raising wheat
since he commenced raising it. OF
course Beeson's farm joins the wheat
belt. but the only reason why Beeson
makes a success every year is because he
ploWs his ground early possible,
has it in good cultivation, it takes what
! rains come after harvest until sowing
time. There are no weeds and grass to
sap the moisture that falls. Mr.. Beeson
allows his calves to run on his young
wheat when the ground is not wet; the
calves tramping the ground when dry has
a tendency to pulveriZe the top upper
soil and forms a mulch, and prevents
evaporation. As most of the farmers
have plenty of land the best way to raise
wheat any season, is to plow the land
early in the season. keep the weeds down,
if in old ground, or if sod, then disk it
once or twice during the summer and my
word for it, when common prepared
ground yields 20 bushels of wheat per
acre, ground that is prepared above way,
+ will yield So to 40 bushels. One of
fields prepared this way last year yielded
374 bushels per acre. while the average
on common prepared ground was only
49, bushels per acre. Almost every
farmer has had the same experience.
Sometimes strip of land that was left
unpIowed, when planting time in spring,
but was afterwards plowed out, and
crop raised it that year, all put to
wheat in fall, and every time land not in
summer crop would produce twice
much wheat as land that was cropped,
with the exception of corn ground, as
usually corn has three TO four cultiva-
tions during the summer and ripens
early in the fall and does not sap the
ground if rains do not come during the
late summer and early fall months. For
the same reason, potato and melon
patches generally give good wheat crops.
Let Mr.. Reed try and plow break 20
or 40 acres sod next month or even in
May, prepare it during the summer for
wheat, put in proper time, and he may
be to have some wheat next year,
even if we have twelve dry moons next
year.
AR Reed has shown good judgment
and intelligent mind in coming right
to headquarters of the wheat belt for in
formation. liking REX.''

A Reply from the King of the Wheat
Belt

To the Editor of the GLoBE-REPUBLIcAN
In your last weeks issue, my old friend
J. H. Reed, of Dry Ridge, asked infor-
nation about raising wheat, and then
goes on and gives his experience with
three different fields of wheat which he
sowed last fall He wants to know the
why and wherefore that field sown be-
fore the rain, did not stand the dry
weather as we'll as the two fields sown
after the rains. The reason is very sim
pie. The heavy rains last fall settled the
ground, and it formed crust which be-
came thicker the dry weather contin-
ued, and the wheat plant in consequence
suffered more than what wheat was put
out after the heavy rain. Comrade Reed
is right, a good narrowing would have
helped it. thus forming mulch and kept
the ground from evaporating not nearly
as much. l would advise Comrade Reed
to read up the ssCampbell'' system; this
is used by all successful farmers in the
