SOWING WINTER WHEAT.

The Plants Should Become Well Estab.
lished Before Winter Sets In.
The seeding Of winter wheat should
be delayed as much as possible to
combat the Hessian fly, whenever this
pest is present. Throughout the east
ern United States, where winter wheat
Is generally grown, this fly sometimes
causes damage amounting to over ST.
100000 in n year. Present indica.
tons are that the damage done by the
pest this year will be considerable. Co.
operative late sowing by all the wheat
growers In the community, accom-.
panied by systematic destruction Of
stubble and other breeding places for
the fly, seems to be the best NEAR
to reduce it's devastation. ~
Wheat should, however, be sown
early enough to allow the plants to be-
come well established before winter
sets in, yet not so early as to allow
them to become jointed. If the first
frost is unusually delayed the wheat
grower would better plant, even
though there is still danger Of injury
from the fly, for otherwise his losses
may be greater from the failure Of
young, poorly rooted plants to survive
the winter.
The quantity Of seed that should be
sown under ordinary conditions in the
humid winter wheat areas is six pecks
per acre. This may be varied accord
ing to the size of kernel Of the variety
used, the condition of the seed bed,
the fertility and character of the soil
and the date of seeding. When the
grains are small, the seed bed in good
condition, the soil rich, warm and well
drained and the seeding early, five or
even four pecks per acre are often
sufficient. Where opposite conditions
exist seven, eight or even ten pecks
may give more profitable results. 1T
Is advisable to adhere to these rules
| with all varieties, regardless of any
claims Of exceptional tillering ability
that may be made.

!. Influences Touching Soil.

Big crops usually follow a year Of
drought, in the main due to the thor
ough pulverization Of soil from that
agency. Frost is another factor that
gives big crops whenever it enters the
ground deeply, and either Of these.
agencies will till the soil deeper than.
any tools can reach.
There is vet another agency which
should never be neglected, deep root
ing plants, which, besides their mechan-
ical and acid action on the soil, bring
to the surface again fertility that has
leached or that which is out Of reach
Of the shallower rooted plants, or those
with less subsol penetration. Wheat
or oats will; attack the subsoif to a
limited extent. Alfalfa and sweet clio
yer win work with us and for us all the
time.
While we work the top soil free Of
weeds, and retain the soil mulch,
which will enable the alfalfa to u
viye, the plant roots are doing an In
lfnitely greater work below, besides
adding bacteria, bringing a soil to life
that has lain practically dead, except
lat the very top, for all the ages that
have gone.-Farm Progress.

WILD ONION, UNDERGROUND PORTION.
feet tall. On the top Of it u d cluster
OF from two to six aeries bulblets.
Usually there Is ID large bulb with a
fine white skin and smaller one with
hard brown shells. After the leaves
and stem die these bulbs begin to
grow, the soft shelled one terminating
In the summer or early fall,sWhile the
growth of the hard shelled bulblet
does not begin until much later. It is
this overlapping which makes the
eradication Of the Weed;sogdificult.
10 kill the wild oniongthe work must
be started In the fall to destroy the
plants from the soft shelled bulbs be-
fore they produce new bulbs. The best
time Is when the neWsplants are twelve
to fifteen inches high, Or during Octo-
Der and November in the south and
November and December in the north.
AT this stage the land should be plowed
fairly deep, turning under all the onion
tops. The tops should be completely
buried by the blowing: andsfor this rea-S
son plow with a jointer attached to
the beam will often be q great help.
fDisking the land previous to blowing
will also aid In burying the tops. The
following spring the field should be
planted In cultivated crop, corn In
check rows being best. Another shall
low plowing may be necessary in the:
spring, extraordinarily a disking or two
4previous t planting will suffice. In
~c1ultiVating the cornt the effort should
be to kill the onion plants that spring
up, and the easiest way tosdo&this is to-
cut of the tops.
From the time the farmer is able to
get on the: land in the spring until the
IcornSis laidsby he should direct his Eff
forts toward preventing hesonion from
making top growth, with the idea Of,
killing the plants thatcome III. from the
hard shell bulbs. &c this 10 well done
most Of the onions will disappear by
the end OF summer. Some Of the hard
shell bulbs, however, may delay ger
animation for agar orStWo, so that by
fall feW plants may again be in cyl
Idenee. The farmer therefore should

FiHina the siio.

Fear of frost Is perhaps responsible
for more poor silage than any other
cause. This has been the observation
and experience. Of very many dairy
men. They have found that silage
made from green Immature corn is
liable to be sour and less palatable
than that '.put up after the ears have
begun to glaze. The best siiage is
made from corn when many OF the
ears are nicely denting. Event the
Ecorn should be frosted or dried from

water Is added at filing time.

The report Of the special committee

This board makes recommenda-
tiops TO the Legislature as TO which
institutions should receive financial
aid from the State. The special
committee consists OF Philip Bris-
zoe, Thomas NJ. Bartlett and H.
Writ Steele. The first and greatest
fault in the present elementary
choo system, the committee thinks,
Is lack Of money, while closely fol-
lowing is the lack Of sufficient cen
tralized authority.
The standard Of teachers differs
In each county, il is stated, and at
different times in the same county.
The Textbooks useo and the details
Of course of instruction also differ
in each individual county, so that
there is a de cided lack Of uniformity
