questions yos think Of
What is the best time TO SOW fall
wheat?
From the first TO the tenth Of Sep
tember. The condition Of your
ground has a great deal to do with
this. ] Am assuming that you have
got your ground in good shape.
What time would you break sod
for putting in fall wheat?
When ] came from the Dakotas
down here ! WAS thoroughly con
vinced that the only time proper for
breaking OF the sod was when the
grass was growing fastest, which
would probably be the latter part OF
May or first part Of June; but down
here, where the sod doesn't seem to
be quite az dense, and after expert
menting further. l have come to the
con4lssson that the earlier you break
ths soA the hettef in sRticipatioa oi
esviAg al the water that comes early
u the spring.
Do you recommend plowing over
Eve inches deep?
From two and one-half to five
inches.
Where does the packer come in?
After blowing.
How often do you harrow this?
A often as the rain is heavy
enough so as to crust it over. Ii is
sot 10 important that you harrow as
often as in old ground, as the sod
itsrlf is really the blanket.
Now in rolling, is there any spe-
cisl roller?
No, Just the ordinary roller You
naght think it would put you to too
much expense to buy roller TO roll
the ground; but it is my opinion it
will pay for itself on 40 acres,
Then after you have rolled and
narrowed it, you don t do anything
more to ii unless you should have a
heavy rain?
No We plow again in June or
FIRST of July.
After the second plowing in June
OF July then do you follow that with
packer, then Acme harrow, then do
VOC do anything further with that
before seeding time?
Not unless we get a rain.
What kind of a drill do you use?
think ] favor the closed heel
shoe drill.
Where is the Pomeroy farm and
how many acres has it?
The Pomeroy farm is one of 240
acres near Holdredge, Nebraska. Mr..
Pomeroy employed me to lay out a
model farm here.
Where is your Burlington farm?
On the Burlington road in Neb-
r,ska. | have been conducting ex-
pesimental farms there for several
yeasr. Some of the farmers there
have entered into this plan, but
others do not want to give 1T the
attention and patience it requires.
One man at Trenton, Nebraska, har-
vested Al bushels of 50 pound wheat
BY this system, while most Of the
other farmers there did not get but
ten bushels to the acre.
What pillow do you recommend for
this dry farming?
consider the mold board plow a
good one.
When is the disk to be used2
The disk is important right early
in the spring because it is the only
tool that We can get over the ground
quickly which thoroughly pulverizes
