had untreated wheat in them or it
may again take uD the smut germs.
Treat the seed Just before it is want
ed for sowing SO that it may not have
to stand long in the sacks or it may
become heated and the Vitality of the
germ be destroyed. Almost every
year we have TO warn our readers
against some attempt to palm off upon
them some new variety of wheat, Tor
which extraordinary yields are claim
ed. Last year we warned against the
Alaska wheat fraud for which q yield
of 200 bushels or more per acre was
claimed. As a fact this variety
rarely harvested more than % or so
bushels per acre and the wheat Of
such poor milling quality that no one
wanted to buy it. We have heard OF
several who, Notwithstanding our
warning, got bitten with this fraud.
This year we nave a letter from a sub
scriber enclosing US circulars and
photographs from the Stoner Seed
Wheat Company of FincaStle, Va,
which is putting out this wheat on u
contract which calls for the grower
to pay s. an acre for the seed and to
deliver all the wheat produced back
to the Stoner Wheat Company to be
paid for at the market price of mill
ing wheat. This wheat is required
not to be seeded at the rate of more
than half a bushel to the acre so that
the grower is to pay for the seed at
the rate of 50 per half bushel. The
contract provides that this price is to
be paid or the seed if the wheat
makes 20 per cent more than the
average crops grown in the previous
three years. This wheat is a variety
of which we heard a few years ago.
and about which we wrote the De-
partment Of Agriculture at Washing
ton, suggesting that they investigate
the matter They did so and advised
us that the wheat had no greater
merit than any other wheat which
had been carefully selected for a few
years. In the face Of this advice we
about taking hold Of this proposition.
We invite the attention Of our
readers to the article in this issue on
Pastures from our friend, Mr.. French.
The fall is q good time to begin the
work of leaning out the bushes and
bramble patches, scrub pines and
sassafras. After all these have been
cleared away and rocks gthered off
then if a dressing of a ton of lime to

the soil with the disc harrow in pref
renee to blowing down. The ploW-
ing down Of heavy crops of these
legurnes is inadVisable in that
first, it is a waste of good feed: sec
ond, that it makes the land too puffy
and light for the best growth of the
wheat Crop and destroys the capil-
larity OF the soil and lastly it brings
the nitrogen nOduleS on the roofs to
the surface where the nitrogen is lost
by being dissipated in the air. We
are strongly of opinion that the lib
eral use of raw ground phosphate
rock will be found a great aid in Sc
curing better yields of wheat, but it
will require time for the results to
be seen as the phOsphoric acid in the
rock is in a slowly available form.
Experiments have shown that the
wheat plant takes up its supplies of
this constituent largely in the later
periods of it's growth and by this time
the rock phosphate should have be
come available when it is applied in
conjunction with a legumlnous crop
cut into the land. Raw bone meal
is always useful in growing wheat as
it not only supplies p~hosphoric acid,
but also q small percentage Of nitro
gen which gives the wheat a start.
Another great factor in securing a
better yield is the use of greater care
in selection of seed, not merely in
selecting a variety which has been
found adapted to the section, but in
the selecting only of the ~cleanest,
heaviest seed. All light and shrivel-
led grains should be blown out. and
all weeds be eliminated. Heavier
seeding is also needed. The sowing of
a bushel of seed to the acre is not
sufficient except upon very rich land.
Two bushels is much more likely to
make a profitable crop and We would
never seed less than l IL bushels.
Another point requiring ~attentlon is
the soaking of the seed in a
solution to destroy all smut germs.
lThe old blue stone and lime
ton is not effective for this purpose.
| We have had reports Of a number OF
crops this year where the yield was
greatly reduced by the presence of a
large proportion Of smut ears IN the
crop. All this could have been pre-
vented by using formalin on the seed
and this at a very small cost. The
proper way to use the Ormai IS to
mix one pint or pound of formalin in
40 gaTon of water. This is suffi-
Gent to treat SO bushels of wheat.
Spread the wheat on a tight. clean
foor four or five inches thick. then
sprinkle the formalin on it from a
watering can and turn over a shovel
so that every grain is wet. Let stand
2 little while and then springle again.
The wheat should absorb > or 4 quarts
of the solution per bushel. Then pile
and cover with clean sacks Or can
vas for two hours and then spread
out to dry and when dry it is ready
for sowing. Be careful not to put the
treated grain into sacks which have

WORK FOR THE MONTH
(Tile Southern Pianter.1

The drOuth to which we referred in
our last issue as having seriously i'm
paired the yield Of the crops in the
Valley and Northern sections Of this
State especially and to a less extent
almost over the State, has continued
with more or less persistence to this
writing (Sept. 22) and as a result the
crops have been cut materially short
er than was the promise earlier in the
season. More especially is his he
case in the northern sections of the
State where farmers find themselves
with a very short supply Of feed for
stock during the winter and the prom
Use of the smallest corn crop that has
been harvested for many years. In
the middle and SOuthSide sections,
whilst the yield will be reduced, yet
there will be near an average quantity
of corn as the acreage planted was
larger, if frost holds off long enough
for the late planted to mature. The
weather during the whole crop season
has been abnormal as we have had
not only a deficiency in moisture, but
also a deficiency in temperature over
the whole State. To a more or less
extent this has been the case all
through the South and the effect is ap-
parent in the reduced condition of the
corn and cotton crops on September
1st.
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1909-10-12

This drouth has also extended large
ly throughout the corn belt and in
stead Of our having a record corn
crop as looked probable two months
ago the total estimated crop will not
be much, if any, IN excess of that of

5000, 600, 600 bushels Now it is esti-
mated hat it will not exceed 2,700,-
100000 bushels, if so much. The av-
rage condition of the crop on Sep
TENDER LIST was "A as against "a on
August 1st and q ten-year average of
so. Since his report appeared con-
ditions has been further impaired.
With this prospect it may be fairly as
sumed that corn will not be cheap
again this winter. The condition of
the crop in Virginia is II, as against
SO last year and a ten-year average of
81. In North Carolina it is IS as
against "a lst year and a t~en-year ay-
erage Of So. In South Carolina it is

The average condition of the spring
wheat crop was So when harvested as
compared with 81 last month and
a ten year average of 10. This crop
has maintained a wonderfully nigh
condition all through its season Of
growth and the result is a crop much
above average both in quantity and
quality. The total yield is estimated
at from 100000 to 100000
bushels, thus bringing the whole wheat
crop up to a yield of about 700, 900, 900
bushels or a little more. This crop
with our present population to feed
and requirement for seed viii not
leave much surplus for export and the
prime is not likely, in our opinion,
to decline. European requirements
will not be SO large as Russia is said
to have made above al average 0
and is exporting freely. The de-
mands of our own population and not
the export demand is now and will
in the future, be the factor which
will largely dominate the price of
wheat until we considerably increase
the acreage or yield of the crop or
both. In a recent speech Mr.. j. j.
Hill said that the normal increase of
our population each year would call
for an annual increase in the wheat
crop of at least Is, 000, 600 bushels. To
meet this our arnier will lave to

years past.
