mately in the paying of the cost of
checking by the proponents of the

as POSSIBILITY. owing to the report
ed determination OF the city OF Seattle
and perhaps other large cities, to
fight paying the expense.

The deportation of Charles H. Mover

its enemies does not alter the case No,b;,e

some EXPERIMENTS
With WINTER WHEAT
Tests Made at WillIst0n, n. D.,
SubstatIon.
YIELDS PER ACRE NOT LARGE

Seven varieties Of winter wheat
were sown in standing corn at Willis
ton IN. d. substation Aug. II, 1912.
The wheats were own with a double
disc drill at an average depth Of about
two inches. The depth was not very
uniform on account of the corn stalks
interfering with the drill. The stalks
were left standing in the field over
winter for protection. The object was
to determine if winter wheat would
kill out with this form Of protection.
The wheat terminated quickly and
made a good growth before the soil
had frozen for the winter. The va
'rieties killed. out FROM 35 to 70 per
cent.
A new strain record, No. 255, show
ed strongest vitality. The effect Of
the drouth was more noticeable on
the winter strains than on the spring
grain. This was possibly due to the
earliness Of ripening, before the late
rains fell. 49,
The yields per acre ranged from 6.8
bushels to 1876 bushels per acre.
In 1913 winter wheat was planted on
three different dates-Aug. II, Sept.
2 and Sept. II. The wheat sown Sept.
II barely came up enough to be no.
ticeable, and it was practically a fail
ure. There was very little difference
in yield between the two early sowing
dates this season. That sown Aug.
II yielded 7.8 bushels per acre; that
sown Sept. 2 yielded 81 bushels per
acre. Record No. 121, called Belog-
lima, was used in this test. The wheat
was threshed Aug. 16. z

NEEDED
TO GROW ALFALFA
incubation and Treatment Of
Sour Soils.
SOME DANGER OF WEED PESTS
BY J. @. HUTTON, South Dakota State
College.

BY J. G. HUTTON, South Dakota State
College.
In order to grow alfalfa it must be
supplied with bacteria Of the proper
kind. These bacteria form nodules on
the alfalfa roots and have the power
of taking nitrogen from the air and
combining it in such a way that plants
may 8 it.
Where alfalfa or sweet clover has
never grown it may be necessary to
supply the bacteria a%rtificially. The
easiest way to do this is to scatter the
soil from a well established alfalfa
field over the land to be seeded.
In securing the soil for incubation
purposes the top two inches Of soil
should be removed and the soil taken
from the next six inches.
The soil should not be allowed to
dry in the sunlight or be exposed to
it, as the strong sunlight kills the bac-
terra. %Inoculate the field just before
seeding, sowing the soil broadcast by
hand, and follow Immediately with a
harrow to prevent injury to the bac-
terra by the sunlight. Some kinds of
drills may also be used for sowing the
inoculating soil.
For incubation, from 200 to 500
pounds Of soil per n is recommend
ed, though more may be used If avail
able.
There is, Of course, a chance of get
ting weed pests in the soil used for
inoculating purposes and for this Q a
son soil should not be used from
farms where quack grass, dodder or
other pests are known to exist. Soil
should not be. used from fields in
which the alfalfa is not healthy, az
some Of the alfalfa diseases may be
transmitted to the new fields.
The soil In which sweet clover
grows may be used for inoculeting
purposes just as well as that from al.
falfa fields and should be treated as
directed for soil from alfalfa fields.
Cultures Of bacteria for inoculating
purposes are sold by certain compa,
nies. While the South Dakota Elk.

IMPORTANCE OF
Land CULTIVATION
Conservation Of Moisture One of
the Principal Results.
KILLING OF WEEDS ANOTHER

~~~- sE ~
Az one purpose Of cultivation is to
destroy the weeds, the cultivating
should DC undertaken when the weeds
are small, before they have thrown
out, more than two or three leaves.
Another value to be gained by cult
walton is the increase of fertility in
the soil. This increase of fertility is
brought about largely by the forma-
ton Of nitrates by bacteria. Cultiva-
ton for this purpose should be I'M
dertaken during the early period Of
the plants growth, and such cult
walton should be relatively deep, say
two and one.half to four inches.
i The third and main necessity for
servation Of soil moisture. Soil mois-
ture should be conserved as soon as
possible after heavy rains. The main
cultivation of the crop should be in
June, during the early growing por-
ton Of the season, at the time of the
heaviest rains.
We will suppose that from he rains
Of May q quantity OF water has been
stored in the soil. This water will
approach near the surface Of the
ground, but it will be held In the soil
provided a soil mulch Is formed. It
now requires but slight rain to form
capillary water between the stored
water. and the surface Of the ground.
After the ground is wetted,. from the
surface to where the water is stored,
it takes but a very few drying days
for a comparatively large quantity OF
water to escape, az that the soil may
be drter within, say thirty-six hours
after q light rain, than it vas pre-
vious to the rain, o. than It would
have been had no rain occurred.
Later in the season, when the pc
rlod between rains 10 longer, a deeper
layer OF; dry coil is naturally formed
near the surface OF the ground, with
Q consequent more efficient mulch. II
such cases light showers may not act
dnjuriously in abstracting the stored
water Of the deeper layers. 1t IL

golden willow ranks very high in this
locality.
From the trials thus far carried on
at the Langdon %substation it Seems
advisable to cultivate the ground the
year previous to the planting Of the
trees. BY this method many weeds
are killed and a considerable amount
Of moisture is conserved. After the
trees are set out the ground should
be cultivated enough to keep weeds
under control until the trees are large
enough to shade the ground and make
forest conditions. Small trees about
two to three feet high. when set out

TESTING SEED CORN
FOR TERMINATION
Use Several Kernels From Each
!, Of 100 Representative Ears.
D|RCARD THE BUTTS and TIPS
BY MANLEY cHAMPLIN, South Da.
kota State College.

BY MANLEY cHAMPLIN, South Da.
kota State College.
The season last fall was highly ia
vorable for maturing corn in good
shape in South Dakota and, as the re.
suit, 1t is probable that good seed corn
is more plentiful here than ever be-
fore.
In preparing the seed for planting
q few precautions will aid materially
In securing a perfect stand. The n
desirable ears should be discarded
and also the butt and tip and uneven
OF discolored kernels. Undesirable
kernels include those that are small
in size, those that have very sharp
pointed beaks, or those that have very
small, poorly developed germs. The
ears that are used for seed should be
heavy and well filled with uniform.
kernels. ;.
In order to get an idea Of the
terminating quality a good plan is to
remove two kernels of each of 100
representative ears and give them a
composite test, planting in a common
pieplate in dirt or sawdust. If this
test shows a result Of So per cent
termination or better it will not be
necessary to test the individual ears.
II the preliminary test shows So per
cent or less, it will pay we'll to test
each individual ear by testing four
kernels from each ear and in that way
learning which ears are dead.
Any form OF tester can be used.
There are a large number of good
makes on the market or one ar be
made at home simply by stretching
q white cloth over a box filed with
sawdust or sand and marking it OF
into squares to hold four kernels each.
After one is sure Of the germination
test the seed should be carefully
graded and made as uniform as posi-.
BILE. 81
Before starting out with the planter
It is time well spent to test the plant
er by dropping 100 hills on hard
ground and counting the kernels so as
to learn whether the planter is work
ing accurately or not.
