RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS IN SEED BED
PREPARATION FOR The NEXT WHEAT CROP
Prof. Iardne Of the Kansas Agricultural College Tells Of the Various
Methods Tried Out at the State Farm---lnteresting
and important Facts for Kansas
Wheat Growers.

Is and the other September >f5. The
plot plowed August is produced S2.6S
bushels per acre. The plot plowed
September Is produced 23.57 bushels
per acre. This difference Of nearly
nine bushels In favor Of the earlier
date OF blowing. This indicates that
for the best results the ground should
be plowed within a month after disk
ing. II postponed later than this all
moisture saved by the early disking
is used by the rank growth OF weeds,
grass and volunteer wheat that grow
only the more vigorously after the
ground has been disked.
When we compare the plots that
were disked early with the plots that
were plowed the same date, but not
disked, we see. that for August plow-
ing the early disked plot gave an in
creased yield OF 4.94 bushels and for
the September blowing an increased
yield of 7.7S bushels. What greater
evidence Is needed Of the benefits re-
sulting from early disking?
While disking is the desirable meth
cd OF preparing the seed-bed when
used in connection with blowing, the
method of preparing the seedbed by
disking alone cannot be recommended
when wheat follows small grain. In
this trail upon the plot where the
seed-bed was prepared by disking just
before blowing. only 4.29 bushels OF
wheat were produced. This is not a
sufficient yield to pay the cost OF
production. With a season less dry
and on looser soil this method might
produce larger yields, but upon the
majority o. soils It cannot be expected
to equal blowing or other good meth
DDS OF preparation.

~ VERY farmer in Kansas must be
interested In the wheat growing
tests made at the Kansas Agri-
cultural College farm They have
been referred to heretofore in these
columns. Right now 1t is proper to
continue studying the matter Of a seed
bed for next years crop. Doubtless
you plowed soon after harvest. Ex-
periments were started at the station
several years ago to determine the
value OF different methods Of prepar-
ing q seed-bed for wheat. This ex-
pertinent was conducted during the
last year upon upland soil very low
in fertility, which had been cropped
for many years with small grains,
corn and sorghum, without the addi-
ton OF manure or green manuring
crops. The field was in wheat In
1910. The wheat was seeded upon
all plots the same date, September
30. Bearded Fife wheat was sown
with q disk drill, at the rate OF one
and one-fourth bushels per acre.
Eleven methods Of preparing the seed
bed were used. The methods includ'
ed dlsking, listing and blowing.
The plot disked and not plowed
was double disked twice just before
seeding. The other plots were treated
as indicated in the table. An effort
was made to prepare the best seed
bed possible with each method en-
ployed. Thus: All plots were har-
rowed Immediately after blowing, ex-
cept where otherwise indicated, and
were worked thereafter as was neces-
sary to maintain a soil mulch and to
prepare a good seedbed.
The plots were double disked July
Is. One of these was plowed August

COLLEGE TO CELEBRATE
FOUNDERS DAY
Rousing Events Scheduled for Fri
day, April IL.

The College of Idaho is destined
to grow and it is no more than rea-
sonable to suppose that the Student
Body will double in number next Sep
TENDER.
When the students go to work with
will something happens. This was
evidenced in the campaign for funds
when the students raised something
over 100000 in two weeks.
1t was decided in the Student Body
meeting last week that the celebra-
ton of Founders Day should be such
as will best help to build on the foun-
dation which has been laid 1t is a
poor sort of patriotism which boasts
of noble forefathers but does nothing
to perpetuate the honored institution,
be it nation or school, and so when
on April 18th the students are given
a day in which to honor the benefac-
tors of the college they are going to
make it day worth while.
AS the people of this entire section
are invited to be present, the plans
of the day will be OF interest A de-
tailed program can probably be had
by next week, but we are assured that
there will be parade, baseball game
and an exceptional evening program.

COUNCIL TAKES ACTION.

At a meeting of the city council
held Wednesday evening resolution
was passed favoring the municipal
ownership of telephone system. This
resolution is in the nature OF a pro-
test against the raising of the tele-
phone rates. A meeting of the citi-
zens of Caldwell and vicinity is called
for the purpose of discussing this
proposition. This meeting will be
held at the city hall on the 10th day
of May. The matter of securing a
public utilities commission and other
matters will be discussed. However
it is the raise in telephone rates that
will receive the greatest attention at
this time.
Following in the wake of every
other corporation that secures a mo-
nopoly, the present company no soon
er cleared the field of competition
than it began advancing rates. 1t has
had trouble at Payette and Emmett.
On what basis peace was established
in those communities The Tribune
knows not. We have not given the
municipal ownership idea much con-
sideration and do not know whether
it i practical or not. That will un-
doubtedly be shown at the mass meet
ing. One thing is certain the advance
in rates should not go unprotected.
The telephone company, notwith-
standing that it is alone in the field
at the present time, can be brought to
taw. The people should not be awed
by its size nor wheedled into silence
by the promise that sometime or other
the company will spend a few thous-
and dollars in this section of the state
II the company sees fit to make i'm
provements as business PROPOSE
ton it will do so. If not it won't.
We urge the people of Caldwell to
attend the mass meeting called by
the mayor and city council.

present time he has no opposition
worth mentioning. Mr. Peterson,
who had an idea that he was available
timber, has since changed his mind
or rather the people changed it tor
him. He has no chance at all for the
nomination. Mr.. T. X. Little took a
peep at Van Duyn's boom. 1t looked
so easy that he decided that the state
treasuryship would about fit him. His
boom was started and we are forced
to admit that it too was received with
favor. Mr.. Little is in the lead for
the Republican nomination. He will
in all likelihood win in a walk. His
only opposition is the present incum-
bent, who has enemies in every nook
and corner of the state. Then Hon.
John T. Morrison. sized up the situa-
ton with view to becoming candi-
date for the nomination for governor.
It is too early as we go to press to
know the progress made by Mr.. Nor
rison. He undoubtedly will have
strong support in several sections OF
the state. His candidacy will be re.
ceived. by the north Idaho aspirants
with great glee as the hope of the
north lies in the division of the south.
After Mr.. Morrison announced him
self Capt. B. P. Shawhan let it be
known that he would accept the Re-
publican nomination for congress.
What progress he has made we are
unable to say.
/. There is one thing that is establish
ed and that is that few years resi-
dence in Canyon county develops the
political ambitions of a man. He
might have been as innocent of aspi-
ration as turnip before locating here
but not long afterwards. The Tri-
bune can truthfully say that all the
Canyon county men mentioned are
good, capable men. If nominated they
will be elected. If elected they will
reflect credit upon themselves and the
people of the county and the state.
There is not a Republican in Idaho
who would not support ticket with
such men as Morrison, Van Duyn,
Little and Shawhan on it.
