Winter Wheat in South Dakota.
1. Winter wheat resists drouth
better and yields better than spring
wheat. 2. Winter wheat is The great
money crop of the typical dry farm
regions of Utah, Montana, Idaho, etc.
3. Winter wheat takes less seed than
spring wheat: two or three pecks per
acre on clean land. 4 Turkey and
Kharkov are the best varieties now
known. Winter wheat often kills un-
less some precaution is taken to pro-
tect the crowns from wind and blow
ing soil. 6. The South Dakota ex-
pertinent station with the help OF the
United States Agricultural Depart
ment has secured a selection Of re-
markable hardness at the Highmere
Substation which may eventually
make winter wheat growing much
safer in South Dakota but it will take
time to increase it for common use
I. When sowing winter wheat take
care to protect the crowns. Either
SOW with one horse drill in standing
corn, or In small trenches by forcing
the drill in deep on fall plowing or
fallow, or in grain stubble disced and
cross disced and mulch with manure
or old straw rather thinly If practic-
able. 8. Begin sowing about Septem-
Der 1st. 8. Many winter wheat ex-
periments are in progress at your ex-
pertinent station which will give
definite information and will be re.
ported In bulletin form later. 10. II

Sheep AS Scavangers.
A few sheep on the farm will prac-
tically live on the waste food and
weeds about the farm. They are
rightly termed "Farm Scavengers. :"
Experimentation has proven that
they will eat from Is to 80 per cent
of the weeds native to our farms and
thrive in doing it too. The sheep
business from now on will be more of
a farm proposition. The large bands
on the range are scarce and this takes
out the speculative feature of the
sheep business. 1t is safe venture
on a small scale where you are In the
business to stay.
To be sure sheep will respond to
good treatment, and must have good
winter quarters The chief requisites
are that sheds be dry and free from
drafts. Try a small flock and grow
into the business.
II you do not care to become a
breeder of sheep, there is good money
in feeding few sheep for the market.
The good thin eve is safe invest
ment If bought right. Many fields of
grain that will not be cut would make
a good place to start the feeding,
then the grain fields after harvest,
and later the corn fields A little
rape sown in the corn field at the last
cultivation will make additional feed.
Sheep will give you a market for
screenings and inferior grain. They
also thrive and fatten on silage. 1t
is worth something to get rid of lots
of weed seeds. They will not grow
after the sheep have masticated them.
If you break even you are ahead for
the manure is valuable and it is
scattered where you want 1t.

Canton people will certainly do their

body, not only to the young scholars;
to them it will always remain the first
great event in their lives. but it will
more forcefully impress upon those OF

work and by her works you know her.
Only the best teachers are good
enough to teach under her jurisdic-
tion, They must possess all qualiti-
CATIONS necessary to make the child

we'll as mentally. These young people
represent what has been accomplished. l.
They are on the ladder aiming to g O
higher. They have strong foot hold
