VALUE OF SUMMER FILLING
Yield Of Wheat Has Been Doubled BY
This Method of Preparing Seed

(By Z. A. BURNETT. Director of Ne-
braska Agricultural Experiment
Station.)
The Nebraska experiment station
has just issued bulletin No. 11S ON
Growing Crops in Western Nebras-
ka." This bulletin gives the results
of crop production at the North Platte
substation during the past seven
years. together with the record Of
past &c years, and a discussion OF
methods Of farming for dry land.
Considerable space is given to show.
ing the results secured by summer till
ing land. The yield of winter wheat
has been doubled by this method Of
preparing the seed bed The average
yield of plots properly prepared and
seeded has been 4e bushels per acre
during the past five years. The yield
from these plats In 1910, when the pre-
cipitation for the year was only 1917
inches, was IS to 81 bushels per acre.
Summer filling sod and old land for
winter wheat is strongly advocated.
The records show that summer filling
also increased the yields of spring
grains. but not to so great an extent
as the winter wheat. Whether sum-
mer filling for spring grains is profit
able Is still an open question. though
1t would prove the most profitable
practice during years like 1910.
The tests show that the press drill
increases the yield of grain SO much
beyond the yields secured by sowing
broadcast that the farmer cannot at
ford to SOW grain broadcast, as the
| difference in the yield on rathes

The variety tests indicate that the
following are superior to or as goot
as any other varieties tried Turke,
Red winter wheat, Durum spring
wheat, Kherson oats, common six

HOW WATER RISES IN SOIL
Dust Mulch and Cultivation or Loos-
enIng Of Earth After Rain Serves
to Prevent Evaporation.

Water rises in the soil just as the
oil In lamp rises through the wick.
The wick is full of little tubes called
.capillaries. and SO is the SOIL and the
water rises through these.
II little kerosene or gasoline Is
put into a bottle and the bottle filled
with soil, the oil will rise, and II
lighted, will burn on the surface.
When the water rises TO the surface
of the soil it evaporates.
Evaporation from the soil is going
on all the time when 1t is not raining.
The soil soon dries out II something
is not done to prevent 1t. Covering
the soil with light mulch prevents
evaporation. Cultivating or loosening
the surface of the soil soon after a
rain serves the same purpose. Guilt
waiting breaks the small tubes, so that
they are unable to bring the water to
the surface.
A soil that contains much humus
Chat is, vegetable matter) catches
and holds more water than one that
contains but little humus. Such soil
also holds moisture longer In dry
weather. Plenty of barnyard manure
applied to the soil helps to retain
moisture, although valuable as feed
ers of plants.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Re careful never to overfeed a calf.
Any calf should be fed whole milk
for at least two weeks after birth.
Two factors must be considered In
Judging sheep, the growth of wool and
development of mutton.
More harm is done by overlooking
calves with milk, especially skim
milk. than by undertaking.
BY careful selection and judicious
mating the Shropshire has been
brought to the leading position 1t now
occupies.
Pigs fed for bacon should be fed to
the weight preferred by the packer,
which can always be learned on APP
plication.
The silo enables the farmer to keep
more live stock, which promotes the
rotation of crops and the preservation
of soil fertility.
The windows of a horse stable
| should be so arranged that the horses
are not required to stand for hours
| with the full glare of the sunlight In
their eyes.
No definite rule can be given as to
when calf should be weaned, but
as a general proposition it is good
plan to feed skim milk till 1t is six
months old.
Possibly there is no other farm ami
NAL that can offer as poor an excuse
