MORE ABOUT INCREASED WHEAT YIELD

OF preparing the seed-bed

mad not been plowed for three years
but where the seed.bed had been pre-
pared by disking just before planting,
g produced only ~ bushels Of wheat.
The. average yield for the last three
wears from seed-beds similarly pre-
pared has been only 62-3 bushels 20
the acre. This yield is not sufficient
to pay for the cost Of production. On
lighter types Of soil, in the central
and western parts Of the state, this
method has produced satisfactory
crops of wheat for a single season.

Two plots were double disked July

results ground that is double disked

was advanced by some Of the sharp

have not sold any quantity Of their
