mine ana ne came over anu SAUL
That is the way to SOW rye"
II will show you in the fall, b" | told
him. His made five bushels to the
acre and mine made twenty.Seven.
The heads on his were about one and
one.forth inches long, and the kernel
well, you could hardly see 1t.
II have learned something" he
said
81 told you you would. This is not
Denmark and you must remember
that it does not rain here like it does
in Denmark. You don't want to SOW
on dry farm land as you do on watered
land"
Harrow your land just as you
can do it both ways, make brush
leveler and level 1t of until it is just
as level as the floor. Put plenty of
weight on the leveler so that it will
break up every lump. Don't roll your
ground; but, If you do, be sure to har-
row it after.
Don't forget to sob-soil your dry
farm land. Put your pillow down eight
inches deep and sub.soil it six or eight
inches deeper, and then | will promise
you crop. August and September is
the best time to SOW wheat on dry
land. Sow thirty-hye pounds to the
acre: no more, but, If anthing, little
less, In putting in lucern pillow the
land in the fall sub-soll it good and
deep. Let it lay over winter and as
soon as it is dry enough in the spring,
so that the dirt will not stick to the
harrow teeth and level 1t. Then SOW
about five pounds to the acre with a
good drill. Don't wait to pillow your
ground in the spring, because if you
do it will dry out and you will not get
good stand. So with every thing
else. If you want to SOW spring wheat
be sure to have the ground plowed in
the fall Work it well and will pro-
mise you good crop, and you will be
perfectly satisfied.
One year friend of mine from this
side OF the valley came over and looked
at my crop. He wanted to know if
would trade eighty acres | had over
there for eighty acres over on this
side. His eighty was under the canal
and had a good water wright.
Why said |, II will take $500 to
boot"
"Iou must consider that mine has a
good water-right to it that cost me
81, 000,' he said.
IL don't care, don't want water; l
don't like TO wade in it; want to be
blowing and sowing while you are
watering"
| bought seyenty-tye acre farm
below Smithheld. The man from
whom | purchased it had been raising
lucern on it. l asked him how many
times a season he had been watering
it. He informed me that | could not
fool away my time watering lucern, so
was not going to water it at all He
said that | would not raise anything
unless | watered it. Next spring |
went to work, disked it both ways,
levcled it with the brush harrow, and
the result was that cut one more ton
TO the acre than he did.
How is it that yon can get such
large crops whenyou don't water it?r
he asked.
why, | work mine, and you don't,
that is all the difference.
Now that is it. The main thing to
do is to work, and the crop will come
along itself.
Well, think my time is up, but if
there are any who wish to ask Qucs-
tions, | shall be pleased to answer
them.
