have siuce shown that extensive
sub-soiling is not economical.
Il anything, most of our older
wheat lands need sub-surface.
packing, rather than sub-soiling.
TOO frequently land after plow-
ing is not given the necessary
cultivation. 1t has been found
that, if land is we'll narrowed af-
ter plo wing, from one to two
bushels per acre increase can be
secured as the result of the har-
rowing. During the yeas Of
scant rainfall, rolling ard then
harrawing the land will add as
much as three bushels per acre
to the yield.
The beneficial results of deep
er fall blowing, narrowing the
land after blowing, and addition
al cultivation after seeding and
before the crop is up, will add
from three to five bushels per
acre to the yield of the wheat
crop, while the additional ex-
pense involved will amount to
less than 75c per acre.
By more thorough cultivation
Of the soil, not only the yield but
also the quality of the crop will
be materially improved. If to
better cultivation be added the
beneficial results also obtained
from sowing the best.selected
seed, and the soils be enriched
with fertilizers, the returns to
farmer from the production of
wheat will be greater than from
any other farm crop. Deeper
fall blowing, and cultivation
both before and after seeding,
will each add a bushel OF wheat
to the harvest with but little adj
ded to the cost Of production.
AS many as three more BUSH
els per acre can be obtained by
better cultivation of the soil, two
from the use of better seed, and
from five toseven by the judicious
rotation of crops and use of ma
uurcS.
The average yield of wheat in
the United States is far too low,
which means an unnecessary loss
of money to the American farm
er. The future of the wheat and
flour industries is largely DEEPEN
dent upon the American farmer
and he should be encouraged in
every way possible to produce
this crop in a more intelligent
and systematic way.

Influence of Tillage Upon Wheat Yields
From the Northwestern Miller1

From the Northwestern Mller1
Many wheat lands unnecessarily
decline in yield because they do
not receive the right kind of till
age. While it is not possible by
tillage alone to make old wheat
lands produce as much as when
they were first brought under
cultivation, it is possible to ma
terrially add to their crop pro-
ducing power and to cause them
to produce a better quality of
grain.
Old wheat lands are generally
plOwcd too shallow. When lands
are new and first brought under
cultivation, shallow plowiug was
necessary in order to prevent
lodging of the crop. AS the soils
have become older, this difficulty
has lessened and now deeper
/ blowing cand be advautageouSly
| practiced, On old lands, deeper
aud more thorough cultivation is
necessary in order to bring about
the necessary chemical changes
which result 10 the liberation of
plant food and the production of
larger crops.
When soils are new, deep plow-
ing and thorough cultivation
cause unnecessary liberation of
plant food, but as the soils be-
come older there is a lack of
available plant food and hence
more thorough cultivation is
necessary,
All cur wheat lands could he
! ploWed to advantage an inch
deeper, and if gwen more
thorough cultivation from one to
three bushels per acre could be
I added to the yield and the quail
.ity OF the grain would be i'm
proved.
Shallow blowing is very gener-
ally practiced throughout all the
northwest, but in the principal
wheat-producing regions of
Europe IN similar Latitude the
soil is more thoroughly cultivat-
ed and to a greater depth, which
IS one of the reasons why larger
yields per acre are secured.
Tie experiments tina, have
been made as to the comparative
, yields from shallow and average
blowing have shown n difference
OF from one to three bushels pei
acre ia favor Of mediumly deep
pIowlng against shallow blowing
/ Experiments have also shown
