Wheat in Standing Corn.

In your issue of August IL, page
11O6. there is a reply, "Wheat in
Standing Corn" that attracted my
special attention, as l was intending
to SOW wheat in forty acres of corn the
coming fall.
We value Wallaces' Farmr very
highly. In fact, We look upon it as
the most reliable farm weekly that
comes to our home. But the reply
given in the above article was to Us
most disappointing.
You say it will knock off the ears
very much to seed in the corn and then
advise seeding both ways, which would
require going through the corn twice
once each way. This surely would
break down and knock off twice rs
many stalks and ears, Again, if We
seed both ways, as you advise, there
arises another difficulty. With one
seeder it will take very active work
to seed forty acres in six days. Then
there is one rest day at last, and pos
fsibly one or more wet days; at least
the latter would just now be very de-
sirable. That would make seven OF
eight days from the first seeding be-

gan until the second seeding would
commence. BY that time the first few
days seeding would be up and half of
the seeding would be sprouted. You
would not surely advise cross seeding
under such conditions. This cross
seeding is therefore impractical, un-
less in a very limited acreage. 1t
might do on ten acres.
This is to be my first effort at grow
ing fall wheat, and that is the reason
why I am so interested in the "knOw
how"
have never been able to make fall
wheat growing work into our rotation
of corn and clover and pasture, cattle
sheep and hogs.
Pasture, hay and stock, with what
spring grain We could raise, has been
our forte. The spring grain has never
given US much profit as grain, but
served well as feed and bedding.
Your article makes it little dis
couraging, but if weather conditions
prove favorable We will not give up
our effort.
Our cornfield has been we'll worked,
level culture. so that it is as level as
any field prepared for crop could be
desired-free from weeds and the corn
standing we'll. The seed was good
and the stand of corn is quite heavy.
This is not so good for a corn crop as
if the stand was lighter on account of
the dryness of the season. The last
working was just before the corn came
into silk and this made fine dust
mulch and leaves it in fine shape for
seeding to wheat.
Our pastures became so dry that Our
stock, cattle and sheep, were taken
from the pastures and put on stubble
field adjoining our corn field, where
We feed them fresh corn every day.
We give them all the corn they will
clean up, cutting from the outside OF
the field SO as to give us a good turn
ing place when seeding the wheat.
And this will give the outside rows a
better chance to make a good showing
until the next harvest comes. That
is quite important along public road.
Now l would not like to make a
failure in this, our first effort, as
that would be quite discouraging, SC
you will tell me what is wrong in Oul
plans and what would aid US in Oul
efforts. David Brown, Dodge County,
Nebraska,

Brown has clearly set forth the Objec'

them must be considered the advantage
of a more thorough covering of thu
ground by double drilling. In his cast

seems to be matter for him to decide

Drilling Winter Wheat In Corn
Stalks.

l.. B. Benson, Dawson county,
Nebraska, writes: Having had some
experience on this subject l would like
to make a few remarks. About the
first week in September We go through
he corn with fine shovel cultivatOr.
This process destroys the weeds,
loOsens the ground and makes a good
seed bed. generally aim to start to
sow from four to six pecks to the acre
just according to season. After the
corn is husked We turn the stock in
the corn field. They will not hurt the
wheat unless it is pastured too heavy.
l let them run on wheat all winter,
but l shut them off when the snow is
on the ground.
"The stock breaks the stalks con-
siderably. Early in the spring when
the stalks are hard and dry l run over
them. The first time l set the teeth
so they will dig in the grourd little.
This loosens the soil and helps the
work a great deal. The second time
l harrow it crossways and set the teeth
flat, which breaks most of the stalks.
The wheat in an ordinary year will be
tall enough to cut with a binder. This
year some of the farmers had to use
headers.

A. Pewitt, Williamson Co., Ten

in the stalks. We take q bull tongue

both ways as we can, then sow. the
wheat and pillow it in good. When
the ground is frozen hard take a pole
twenty feet long and hitch mule to
each end of the pole, put rider on
each mule and drive all over the fields.
This will knock the stalks all off close
to the ground. The stalks wont both
