There are many combined harvest.
ers and threshers in use in the state
and these have given universal salts
faction, Some of these harvesters are
operated with horses, others with
traction engines and in either case
the cost of harvesting is very much
lower than by the header method. This
method of harvesting has many ad.
vantages in the way Of facilitating
the work, requiring less labor and
less handling of the grain. The com.
bned harvest has certainly made a
splendid record so far in Utah and as
the industry extends there is no doubt
but that this machine will find a
greater favor.

Harve sting.

The ordinary method of harvesting
wheat on the dry-farms of this state
is to use a header The stray is left
as long as possible and this when
plowed under adds humus or organic
matter to the soil, and thus exerts a
very beneficial effect. The more or.
ganic matter in the soil the more wa.
ter can be retained and thus dry.farm
land improves as far as moisture
holding capacity is concerned, year
by year.
The wheat heads are, as rule,
taken and stacked and allowed to re.
main until threshing time. There is
prevalent notion that wheat must
undergo a sweating process" If good
flour Is to be made from IT, This does
not, however, seem to be borne out

with the results that a splendid stand
of wheat was secured.
Spring narrowing is found very
beneficial. as rule, and the writer
believes always on lands Of clayey
nature, II is of less Importance on
sandy soils. 1t is an easy matter to
regulate the character OF the stand by
narrowing during the spring. The
purpose of the narrowing is to break
the crust, thus preventing the escape
of moisture, killing the weeds and
either thickening or thinning the
stand, according to the way the har-
row teeth are set.
There are places, of course, on
used effectively and in fact 1t might
at times, be very undesirable The
writer has seen wheat fields harrow
| ed seven times during the spring ant
with beneficial results following each
narrowing. AS a rule, however, one
or two harrowings will be found sui
ficient.

Rate Of Seeding.

1t is seldom, il ever, desirable to
use more than three pecks as lbs.) OF
seed per acre. In the case OF varieties
where the kernels are small, such as
the Turkey wheat, even less seed may
be used; indeed the greatest success
has been obtained in the case of the
Turkey wheat with the use of not
more than 30 lbs of seed per acre
This should be planted at depth not
TO exceed three inches and on clayey
soils even less than this.
Experiments conducted in connec,
ton with the method of seeding show
that it is utterly nadvsable to use
the broadcast method. Seeding with
a press drill is almost universally
practised There is no goou reason
why any dry farmer should not use a
drill and this staement is made re,
gardless of the size of the farm.
After Treatment.
II is seldom necessary, after the
seed is once planted, in the fall, to
give any further treatment. The writ,
er has noticed, however, in Cedar
Valley during the past fall, very ben.
eficial results following thorough
narrowing in the fall In this case
the wheat had terminated but heavy
rains had fallen and a crust had form,
ed on the surface. The tender plants
were unable to break through the sur,
face and they We're curling up and
dying, The owner Of the farm was adj.

Time Of Seeding.

From the evidence presented in this
bulletin it is apparent that the time
of seeding will vary in this state ac.
cordng to the locality, but as a rule,
seeding in September and October is
most profitable. Unquestionably there
are instances where very early seed.
ing or very late planting gives best
results but the series of experiments
as reported here show that on the av-
erage seeding during September and
October has given satisfactory results.
The station does not recommend
the use of spring grains. 1t is true
that in a season of abundant precipi.
tation that extraordinary large yields
are reported from spring planting, but
in a season of drouth similar to tina;
of 1910 spring grains are an entire
! failure.

shown to be best for the various To-
calities. The experiments reported in
this bulletin indicate that as a gener.
al rule the Turkey wheat will be
found to be BEST adapted to Utah dry
farms. This wheat is Of excellent
milling qualities as has been shown
by DIR. Stewart. 1t is in great demand
by the millers and in drouth resist
ant qualities 1t is undoubtedly the
best variety yet tried. II withstands
winter killing as is shown by the fact
that at the Grass Valley farm, east Of
Richfield, where the elevation is more
than seven thousand feet, this was
the only variety to withstand winter
killing. Spring varieties should not be
planted in the fall but 1t is even less
desirable to plant fall varieties in the
spring.
1t is believed that Utah dry farm
ers could materially increase their
yields If greater care was used in
selecting pure seed. Where more
than one variety is used there is an
irregularity at the time of ripening
resulting in the SCATTERING of large
quantities of grain. Before planting all
weed seeds and shrunken seed should
be removed by the tanning mill.
Treatment of the Seed.
The most serious disease of wheat
n this state is Blunt" (Stinking
Smut and the loss in dollars and
cents to the farmers of Utah because
of this disease is considerable. The
disease is found prevalent throughout
the state. no locality being entirely
free from 1t. In order to prevent this
disease the seed wheat should be
treated with formalin. Great care
should be exercised in using this
treatment since If it is used too strong
there is a likelihood of killing the
grain. 1t is too weak and is not eff.
fectiye in killing the smut.
The Experiment Station has re-
Gently conducted series of expert
ments, in which it is shown that one
pound of formalin to 80 gallons of
water will prevent the disease. Great
care should be exercised in purchas-
ing formalin. Farmers should purchase
a guaranteed 40 per cent solution
from reliable drug company and use
in preparation of | pound to 80 gal
Ions of water as directed

Selection Of Seed

In selecting the seed, care should
be exercised to secure seed that is
acclimated and adapted to dry farm,
ing conditions. Seed selected from ir.
rigated farms win not do well on the
dry farm until it becomes adapted.
Care should also be exercised in Sc
lccting those varieties that have been

that twenty-five thousand gallons of

average of 80 gallons per pupil! Since
