Sowing of Winter wbe.

At the proper time for seeding, win.
ter wheat is sown, using the press drill.
Unless Hessian fly Is to be fought the
wheat is drilled in about the middle Of
September. This method Of treatment
accomplishes two things, the plowed
land will take up more of the rainfall
than unbroken stubble, and IL will
store it up for the use of the wheat
crop. The early blowing and subso-
quent disking and narrowing make a
fine, well-compacted subsoil free from
large air spaces and give fine, loose
surface. Such a seed-bed is ideal for
wheat. The moisture stored I'D en-.
ables the young plants to make a good,
vigorous start and to develop strong
root system before freezing weather
stops the growth. They are thus much
better able to withstand the rigors of
winter.
The fourth year, after the wheat
crop is harvested. the soil is treated
just as for the Oat crop. If the land
is in fairly good shape, the rotation is
repeated by putting into the corn the
following spring. If the land shows
that it is running down in fertility.
it is seeded in the fall to grass. il
the season is wet enough, sowing the
grass about the last Of August or the
first of September. Fall blowing gives
a crop that first year, thus saving the
loss of the land for one season. If too
dry for fall seeding the land is sowp
to grass the following spring. The land
is thus left in grass from two to five
years. when it is again broken up and
put under cultivation.
