Vioeu there 10 enough moisture

wheat should always be drilled
into the corn and at least one
row in four should be left with
the stalks standing to catch the
winters snow-a one horse drill
should be used between the
corn rows; if the corn is short
tue ordinary disc grain drill
may be used. Stubble land
should be disced with the discs
set nearly straight three or four
days before the wheat is seeded
in order to arrest moisture for
the wheat kernels as soon as
planted. IF winter wheat is
seeded in stubble it should al
ways be seeded with a disc
drill and the wheat should be
put down about three inches.
From the 10th to the 10Th of

WINTER RYE
Winter rye is crop that has
been grown to quite an extent
in the Red River Valley in ord
er to clean up the land. 1t is a
crop that is entirely hardy and
will go through practically any
winter without killing out. 1t
has been crown quite success
fully in the central and western
part of North Dakota the past
two seasons with excellent re-
suits, producing good crop of
grain where wheat, oats, barley
and flax entirely failed to pro
duce a crop on account of the
adverse conditions.
Winter rye makes excellent
spring pasture for horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs. If cut green
it yields a large crop of good
grade of hay. Farmers in west
ern North Dakota who want to
be reasonably sure of hay and
gram crop Eext year cannot do
better than put twenty to
twenty five per cent of their
land in winter rye this fall. 1t

Reasons Tor Planting Win.

Supt. w. r. Porter.


There is no use Disgusting
the fact that many counties of
western and central North Da.
kota have tailed to produce a
better crop than in 1910. and
whole townships will not even
produce enough seed to plant
the crop of 1912.
The soil in these sections is
very dry on account of defici
ent rainfall for the past two
years. The land last fall or
this spring was plowed when
dry, the subsoil was dry and
the rainfall the past season was
only sufficient to wet down
from six to eighteen inches at
the most. This caused tn e
wheat plants to form very sha'.
low root systems, the straw
and leaves of the plants made
a magnificent growth as long
as the rains supplied moisture,
but when the rains failed and
the winds blew the plants
withered away for lack of wat.
er in exactly the same way a
flame goes out when the oil in
the lamp is exhausted. 1t was
not hot winds or adverse wealth
er conditions that caused crop
failure in western Dakota in
1911 but lack of water in the
soil.
The land in these sections OF
the state is now without a crop
and the soil is very dry and in
many cases compact. How
should it be treated to best in.
sure a crop next year? Part of
the land should be fall plowed,
should abundant rains come
this will be accomplished with.
out difficulty. 1t should b e
plowed not less than six inches
deep when the surface sell is
reasonably moist. But soaking
rains probably will not come.
Prepare tor such by discing the
land as soon as harvested or if
the crop is not worth cutting
disc thoroughly now, this will
cause what moisture there is
i'll the ground to be arrested be-
low the mulch made by the
disc. The chopped up straw
and weeds lying OH the surface
will also help to hold any water
that may come in the form of
showers exactly as leaf mould
holds moisture. In this way
two or three light showers
might wet up piece of disced
land so it would pillow easily,
while the same showers would
have no effect on an undisced
piece of land. The disced lend
can then be plowed to a depth
OF six or more inches if it is
moistened to good advantage.
But many will say there is
no moisture in the lower lay
ers of soil or surface soil even.
If The Russian thistles are grow
ing they are using moisture
that should be stored in the
soil to make blowing practical
and easy for the crops next
year.
Fallow the plow with the
subsurface packer or harrow
and do this the same day the
land is plowed and as soon af-
ter blowing as possible. It is
as necessary to follow the pillow
with these implements tn e
same day the blowing is done
as it is necessary to use cement
the day it is mixed.
Light soils that are inclined
to blow are often better left for
spring blowing but if fall plow-
ed, such land is generally bet
ter left unharrowed as rough
land does not blow so readily
as smooth land.

Nora told them she was not rich but
the coach belonged to her and IL they

They were very willing to do this, for
they were anxious to ride in such a
handsome carriage.
Nora did not tell the secret of the
magic gloves, but she kept them and
when there was more work than usual
to be done she put them on and did It
herself, and her aunt and cousins
thought her a very clever girl. They
were always willing to do their share
