INCREASING WHEAT YIELD.
PREPARING SEEDED so AS TO
INCREASE YIELD IN MISSOURI.
BY c. B. Hutchinson, Assistant Pro
fessor of Agronomy, Univer-
sity Of Missouri.

The average yield of wheat in Mis-
souri, for the past to nyears has been
about 1877 bushels per acre. It re.
quires approximately IL bushels of
wheat at the average November price
for the last decade to meet this ex.
pense, together with that of taxes,
interest on the investment and the
value Of plant food removed from the
land.
This evidently means that there are
a great many farmers in the state
who are actually growing wheat at 4
loss. OF course, there are sections
where wheat is especially adapted,
where much better yields than these
are obtained, but at the same time
there are many farms where the yield
of wheat is not what it should be,
and where its growing has not been
very profitable.
It Is, of course, realized by many
farmers that the wheat crop, as they
grow it, is not in itself very profit.
able one, but 1t fits into the rotation
so we'll and is Of such importance as
a nurse crop for grass and clover that
1t is often grown for these reasons.
There is no reason why wheat
should not be made a profitable crop
in practically every section Of this
state, and close attention to those
factors controlling the profitable pro-
duction Of the crop viii aid materially
in increasing its value and Importance
throughout the state. It u to some Of
these factors that the readers atten.

Wheat responds to an application
Of fertilizer more freely than any
other field crop grown In Missouri.
In general, it responds most striking
ly to the application of nitrogen and
phosphorus, and fertilizers of this ma
ture nearly always give good returns.
The results secured on the univer-
sity experiment fields in various parts
of the state show that on the average

favorable for rapid termination and
growth of the wheat.
A few years ago, in an experiment
conducted by the Kansas station
early plowed land gave much better
results than that plowed late. Similar
results were secured by the Okla.
homa experiment station. While it ID
perhaps not SO important that wheat
land be plowed as early in Missouri az
in other states, yet early blowing Ia
to be recommended in practically all
cases.
The depth Of blowing depends large.
ly upon the soil and upon the time. On
deep soils land for what is best
plowed deep, providing the blowing
be done early enough for the proper
preparation Of the seeded. An ideal
seeded for wheat is one which has
been stirred deep, well-compacted be-
low and with loose layer of soil on
top. It takes considerable time to
work the ground down in good shape.
and this is another reason why the
land should be plowed early.
Where 1t is necessary to plow late,
land is usually plowed shallow. since

days previous to seeding. A good
double discing before blowing will aid
in competing the seeded, for the

are very superior to others where
averages are considered. And there
