|Short Farm Ta|kS|
! AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE !

Winter wheat gives promise of
being successfully grown in N. D.,
if given the proper condition and
culture.
1t has been success at the
Fargo station. The reason for this
is that we have been trying to
grow a hardy strain, and have
not tried to nurse it thru the
winter. No protection has been
given it.
Sow only a small area until more
is known about how to handle
winter wheat. Ten acres is
enough, and five is better still.
Winter wheat should be stumbled
in or sown among plants that will
give it protection thru the winter.
A single disc d, i'll is best for this
purpose, as it will sow BIT more
deeply than will the double disc.
Winter wheat should be seeded
by the middle of August, and not
later than the first of September.
The purpose of sending out this
bulletin at this time is to caution
late seeding. The rate per acre
should be from Sc pecks.
Turkey Red is the best variety.
Canadian seed is no better than
our home grown.
Seed is difficult to obtain. The
farmers seem to have contracted all
they have to the seed houses,
and their ads in the farm papers,
and also those of farmers who
may be selling direct to the buyer,
should be watched for.
