1t is observed that these seedlings
are less than those recommended for
localities farther east.
In sowing durum wheat, a. greater
amount should be sown than of the
hard wheat, as the berry Is larger and
It stools less freely.
Manner-Grain should be drilled
when possible, as 1t requires less seed
and the yield is greater. Regarding
the kind of drill, it may be said that
the single disk and the shoe drills are
most in favor at the present time.
Time-Much difference Of opinion
exists as to the proper time Of sowing
grain. A series of experiments, ex-
tending over a number Of years have
been carried on at Indian Head, As
siniboia, and at Brandon, Manitoba,
regarding this point. Seeding was be-
gun as soon as possible, though at no
time earlier than April 6, averaging
about April 20. and continued at in
tervals Of a week apart for six weeks.
The first seeding gave almost invari-
ably the lightest yield, the second and
third being generally the best. On
this basis, sowing in North Dakota
should not be earlier than the middle
Of April. Late sown grain is more
apt to rust. The general experience
Of farmers is that medium sowfngs do
better than either very early or very
late. y

Asparagus Ia one Of the easiest

manure and plowed as deep as pos.

the soil deep. Two year old
plants are the best to plant. They
should be planted at least four inches

can get rid Of all the weeds without

.RIaHT DEPTH TO SOW WHEAT
I've lnehss 0lvss Dss& Results, but
When Season 10 Dry Grain May
Dc Gown Four Inches.

tDy l. r. wALDRoN. North Dakota
Depth-The proper depth for SOW.
Ing wheat II probably about two
Inches. At Fargo a depth of two
inches gave tho best yield. At Indian
Head, Assiniboia, with q rainfall much
like that Of western North Dakota,
wheat seeded two inches deep, in .
series Of eight years. yielded two
bushels more than that seeded three
Inches deep. Oats and barley may be
seeded somewhat deeper than wheat,
although In many instances in dry
climates these grains sown two inches
deep yielded as much as when moro
deeply sown. Grain should be seeded
moro deeply on lighter than on heav.
Ter soil. When the season is dry,
grain may be sown as deeply as four
inches, II such sowing is necessary
to get the grain into moist earth.
Rate-Many conditions affect the
rate of seeding, not the least impor-
tant being the condition of the season
which, of course, cannot be foretold.
The size of the kernel has much to do
with the rate Of seeding. If the grain
has been treated, allowance should
be made, as the kernel Is swollen, and
also swollen grain feeds more slowly.
With a limited amount of moisture in
the soil fewer plants can be brought
to maturity than If the moisture. 10
abundant. On the other hand, It IL
claimed that the seeding should be
thick enough to shade the ground
from the burning sun. II the grain is
sown early and becomes frosted, it
will tiller out, so that a smaller amount
sown early may produce as thick q
stand as a later sown larger amount.
At Indian Head, Assiniboia, the follow
ing rates have given the best yields
for a series of years:
Wheat (hard), five pecks; oats, two
bushels; barley, two bushels; fax, 40.
pounds.
The following table is taken from
one published by Prof. w. H. DIN Of
Colorado. 1t gives the best rates Of
