PORTLAND SAILS SOUTH
Loses Time on Westward Trip by
 Picking up Disabled Schooner

Steamer Portland returned Tuesday from the westward at 9 o'clock p. m. and sailed for Seattle at 1O:3O. She was gone six days, making not only her usual call at Seldovia and Kodiak, but also touching Uyak and Karluk, on the west side of Kodiak island, to leave cannery supplies. She also lost some time picking up the schooner Unimak, in Afognak bay, disabled by broken shaft, and towing the latter to Uyak, her destination.
 The Unimak became disabled 5000 miles out at sea but managed to limp into Afognak under sail. She is from San Francisco.
 The Portland was so much behind time that Capt. Humphrey refused to take freight or baggage for Katalla and would only take passengers to Kayak. Consequently the passengers booked for that port decided to wait for the Pennsylvania.

 The Yucatan returned from Seldo- via Thursday afternoon at , o'clock and sailed Friday morning at 3 for Seattle.

SOW WINTER WHEAT IN CORN
(Prof. w. T. Spillman,)


A few years ago in the state of
Washington the practice sprang up of
sowing winter wheat in the spring
for use as summer pasture. The re-
suits were highly satisfactory for
awhile. The amount and quality of
the pasture was all that could be de-
sired, and the beauty of it all was that
If the true winter wheat was selected
the pasture remained good until the
winter rains set in. Next spring this
spring sown fall wheat came on and
made a crop of grain about a month
ahead of the usual harvest time. For
a few years this practice worked sat
isfactorily. Then suddenly wheat
sown in this way began to die in the
fall or spring following. Even spring
wheat adjacent the fields in which
this fall wheat had been sown the
spring before began to show the eff
fects of some disease or insect enemy.
The state entomoligist made careful
study of the situation, and ascertained
that the trouble was due to the pres
ence of cousin to our Hessian fly. a
native insect which would not bother
wheat sown in the fall or spring wheat
sown in the spring, so the practice was
abandoned. But it continued long
enough to teach us this important fact.
A true winter wheat is biennial. If
sown any time between April and No
vember it will not shoot at all until
it has passed through the winter; but
if a spring wheat be sown any time be-
fore August it will throw up stems
and head out without waiting for win
ter
While at the Washington state ex-
pertinent station l took ninety varie-
ties of wheat obtained from our mid
die western states, all of them sup
posed to be winter wheats, and plant
ed small patches of them in the spring,
to watch their behavior during the
summer Much to my surprise, about
one-third of these varieties grew UP
promptly and made harvest just like
our spring wheats did, showing that
although they had been grown for
years as winter wheats in the middle
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-10-15

west they were in reality spring
wheats Another third of them simply
spread out and made a dense covering
over the soil and remained in that
condition during the whole summer,
showing no tendency whatever to
throw up shoots. The remaining third
turned out to be mixtures of spring
and winter wheats, some punches
sending up heads while others did
not.
Now since a true winter grain can
be sown in the spring or summer with
out danger of it's attempting to head
out before winter it seems to me there
is a chance for the farmers who raise
hogs to take advantage of this fact
in providing good winter pasture This
can be done by sowing some true win
ter grain in the corn at the last Guilt
walton. Rye would probably be safest
for this purpose, because wheat is so
subject to the ravages of the Hessian
fly. There is some indication, how
ever, from the experience of a few
farmers 1 know who practice this
with wheat, that wheat sown in July
or August is not nearly SO susceptible
to the attacks of the Hessian fly as
that sown during the first half of Sep
TENDER. This matter needs to be
studied more infinitely. If rye were
sown in the corn at the last cultivation
and stand secured, by time the corn
is harvested in the fall there ought
to be splendid pasture, and this pas
ture would be available at all times
during the winter when the ground
was in condition to be pastured and
when the rye was not covered with
snow. l find that on our farm in
southwest Missouri we can carry about
six pigs to the acre all winter on
wheat sown early in the fall. This
year we are going to SOW some of the
wheat at the time corn is laid by just
as an experiment, in order that we
may have a little better pasture dur
ing the winter We expect to pillow
this wheat under in the spring and
SOW clover This will be done after
the late clover field has advanced far
enough to permit us to turn the pigs
into the clover.
| nope none of your readers will
try any of the suggestions contained
herein on a large scale, but I should
like very much to see some of them
try a few acres for winter hog pas
ture and then let us know the results.
