WATER REQUIRED FOR CROP
Ten !nehest Needed on Average In
North Dakota to Produce Twenty \
eushei Crop Of Wheat, \

tBy ): +. SHEPHERD. Dean of Asri-
cultural Department, North DakotG;
Agricultural College.)
AS an average for the three years.
trial. it took Ill inches of water to
produce 1872 bushels of wheat on the
tall plowed land, or one inch of water
to 1853 bushels Of wheat. On the
spring plowed land, 11.66 inches Of
water were used in the production Of
1897 bushels of wheat, or / inch to
LII bushels.
These averages include the result of
three very different seasfbs Is. The
wheat crop was pronounced good" tn
1893. fair" in 1899 and very DOOR,
In 1900. Perhaps the crop of 1900 is
too much of an extreme to be includ-
ed In the averages. By comparing the
results from the two sets Of plots in
1893, it may be seen that it required
lib inches of water to produce 28.O5
bushels of wheat on fall blowing, or
n inch to $2.44 bushels, while on
spring blowing 1928 inches produced
2S.78 bushels which is one inch to 2.55
bushels.
In 1899, on fall blowing, it took 1921
inches Of water to produce 20.17 BUSH
els of wheat, which Is at the rate of
n inch to 1.65 bushels of grain. On
the spring blowing, 13.45 inches of wa
ter gave a crop of 1927 bushels of
wheat and the rate was one inch to
1.36 bushels. !
The average for the two seasons
will perhaps represent the average
North Dakota seaso better than the
average for the three seasons. For
the two crops it required on the aver
age 11.83 inches of water to produce
24.04 bushels of wheat on the fall
plowed land, which makes one inch of
water equivalent to 2.03 bushels of
wheat. On spring plowed land, 1924
inches of water produce 1852 bushels
of wheat and one inch was equivalent
to 1.91 bushels.
It required a less quantity of water
to produce the large crop of 1898 than
1t did to produce the smaller one of
1899, and it took more water in 1899
to produce the small crop on the
spring plowed land than it did to pro-
duce the larger one on the fall plowed
land.
From the consideration of the
above data. It seems safe to conclude
that at this station ten inches of wa
ter will be required on an average for
the production of a 20bushel rop of
wheat, and in order to insure produc.
ton of such q croR three or four inch.
es Of the required amount of water
should be contained, as available wa
ter, in the first three feet of soil at
the time the grain Is sown.

HuMuS FOR POTATOES
New Land Is Especially Good fol-
Crop Of Tubers.
Whore Manure 10 to Be Applied
Should Always Be Done Year Pre-
vious-Plant the Seeds az )
Soon 40 They Are Cut. .

)By o. o. CHURCHILL. North Dakota
Agricultural College.). !
Potatoes do best on a rich, deep,
friable, loamy soil, which is we'll sup;
piled with humus. New land is espe.
cially good. The soil should be plow,
ed either in the spring or fall to a
depth of from four to six inches, al.
ways keeping In mind that the great;
est factor in successful potato culture
j. the physical condition of the soil,
Potatoes will not grow on wet soils;
1t is best to seed this crop after q
crop Of clover or some grass crop. II
the land is to be MANFRED, the manure
should be applied to the crop the year
previous.
The seed should be cut to a medium
size and planted as soon as cut. Thd
largest pieces will give the largest
yields on poor soil, but usually the
increase yield is more than offset by
the extra seed required. Sprouted OF
other injured seed is Of little value
for planting.
The potatoes should be selected for
seed at the time of digging, using hill
selection. . It will not be necessary
to change seed If this plan is followed:
Breeding is n of the most important
factors and should not be overlooked.
The potatoes should be planted from
three to four inches deep in rows from
80 to SO inches apart, and from IL to
16 inches apart in the row. This will
require from 10 to Is ubshels of seed
per acre. They may be narrowed un:
til the vines are four to five inches
high. Frequent and level culture will
give the best results. The potatoes
should be dug before danger Of frost.
When dug they should be left on the
surface of the ground until the surface
of the potato. is dried, then store in a
dark, cool, we'll ventilated place and
kept at a temperature of from "a to
sc degrees F.
The market is the most important
thing for every grower to consider.
The time, the place, and the market
demands, such as variety, color, size.
shape, quality, keeping qualities, etc..
are important. In certain parts of the
country nothing but Early Ohio pc,
tatoes can be sown. In others nothing
but the Early Triumph. Large areas
of potatoes cannot be grown success
fully except by the use of machinery
for all the operations. If blight Is
present, spray with Bordeaux mixture.
and If the seed is scabby, treat with
formaldehyde. The bugs can be killed
by mixing Paris green in with Bor-
deaux mixture. Any injury to the vines
e a serious loss in yield, and
hence the vines should be kept in a
strong, vigorous condition at all times.
