Amount of Wheat to Sow per Acre.

Form erly the practice among arid far.
mers was to SOW from l1a to two bushels
of seed wheat to the acre but as exper-
ience has accumulated along these lines
it has been found advisable to reduce
this amount considerably. The question Rs
to the amount of seed to SOW depends
very largely on the variety and also on
the amount of moisture present in the
soil at the time of seeding. There is great
variation in the number of kernels in an
ounce of wheat and also in the amount
of rainfall. In places where the precipita.
ton is very light from ten to twenty ker.
nels an ounce more are produced than
the same variety grown by rainfall from
two to three inches greater. From these
results it would appear that any sugges-
ton as to the exact amount Of seed to SOW
in any locaIitywould be misleading.
Seeding at the rate of two peeks Of
wheat produced on an arid farm would
probably mean as many kernels to the acre
as would seeding at the rate OF three pecks
on another farm. This fact holds good
both for spring and fall varieties. How.
ever, the general practice has shown that
from one-haf to one bushel an acre on an
average gives better results than when
more seed is used. After summer
falow there is usually ample moisture il
the soil which will if the seed bed has
been properly prepared be sufficient to
properly germinste one half bushel of seed
and this viii furnish sufficient number
of plant } stood out for sufficiently
thick staII of wheat. However, the gen.
eral practice of many seccessful farmers
is in favor of seeding wheatat the rate Of
fhree pecks to the acre.
1t occasionally happens that the soil is
oose and open or the season is too far
advanced before seeding time for the most
favorable condition for the Stooling out
of the wheat and in these instances larg.
er amount of seed may be necessary.
Every farmer must study his own indivi.
dual conditions and from an intimate
knowledge OF his soil, the variety Of seed
used keeping in mind the practice Of his
successful neighbors, determine for him
self the amount of seed to use. There are
a few arid farmers who still SOW their
seed broadcast but press drills have come
into almost universal use and drill is
considered as essential in arid farming
operations as plow.
With a drill the seed can be placed
more evenly in depth and the depth to
which the seed is sown can be regulated
according to will. If the land has been
properly prepared a dry dusty mulch
should cover the surface from three to
six inches in depth. In this case the seed
should be sown down below the mulch
and placed in the moist soil. The young
plants can come up through several inchea
of loose earth and il the seed is sown deep
the roots enter at once into the moist
soil. A press drill is very essential on
every arid farm because it presses the
light open soil around the seed, causing
quicker termination and prevents the
wind from carrying the soil away.

FILES PETITION In CIRCUIT
COURT IN BALTIMORE.
Railroad Wants to Restrain Com
merce Commission From Enforc-
ing Coal Car Order.

BALTIMORE. Md, September 19.-The
interstate commerce commission filed its
answer in the United States circuit court
today to the application made by the Bal
umore and Ohio railroad for prelimi-
nary Injunction restraining the commits
sion from enforcing order regarding
the distribution of coal cars.
The point on which the case hangs is
the same as that in the Pitcairn Coal
Company case. which was decided the
other day by the United States circuit
court of appeals at Richmond against the
Baltimore and Ohio.
The present case has been set for a
hearing next Tuesday. and Judges Nor
ris, Goff and Pritchard will sit in the To-
cal court to hear it at the special request
of Attorney General Bonaparte
In the Pitcairn case Judge Morris de-
cided that the railroad must include "pri-
vate cars" in distributing its cars to in
dependent operators. but he did not think
that so-called foreign railway fuel cars
should be so included. Then the inter-
state commerce commission passed an or
der requiring the Baltimore and Ohio and
other railroads to include private cars
in making their distributions
To this order the Baltimore and Ohio
objected claiming that the point was
then before the circuit court of appeals
and that the commission was infringing
upon the duties of the court in passing
such an order. 1t demanded a pralimi-
nary injunction restraining the commits
sion from enforcing the order.
Reverses Morris Decision.
The next step in the case came a few
days ago, when the circuit court of ap-
peals handed down a decision in the Pit
cairn case reversing Judge Morris de-
cision with regard to the foreign rail-
way fuel cars and sustaining him with
regard to the private cars.
Attention is called in the interstate COM
merce commissions answer, filed today.
to this recent decision. 1t is declared that
the commissions order was entirely law
full; that it had perfect right to pass
the order under the act giving 1t its pow
ers. and the court Is asked to deny the
Baltimore and Ohio's application for the
injunction.

BALTIMORE, September 19.-Attorney

Legislature Adjourns Without Pass
ing Irrigation Measure.

SAN JUAN, p. r., September 19.-The
extraordinary session Of the legislature,
which was called principally to pass the
$3,0O00oO irrigation project, adjourned to-
day without having passed the measure.
The house of delegates held a secret
session today and voted to withhold it's
approval of the irrigation bill until the
council should pass the anemia bill as
amended. This amendment provides for
the appointment of physicians to inves-
tigate anema in the island by the director
of health instead of by the governor.
