INCREASING THE CROPS.

Rise In Value Of Grain Should Bring
Larger Acreage.
AS the result Of the rise in the value
Of grain there will undoubtedly be a
larger acreage sown this year than
ever before. Naturally men are eager
for big crop when prices are high.
and this end is partially reached by
sowing larger acreage. This. how
ever. is only half the story. because of
equal Importance is the matter of han
ding such area as is seeded so that q
maximum crop is produced. It would
not be difficult matter to increase
the average yield of winter wheat to
the extent Of five bushels per acre BY
thorough methods of tilling. This
means. in the first place, that land for
this crop should not only be well plow-
ed, but deeply plowed. In turn 1t
should be frequently narrowed so as
to make the seed bed as firm as pos.
stble. In many cases it will pay to
roll the soil. because no combination
Of illage implements will so effective
" bring about proper firming of the
seed bed as alternately using the har-
row and roller. For some reason or
other winter wheat heaves out in the
spring much more rapidly on loose
soil than In the case of 6rm one:
hence the great importance of spend
ing considerable labor ON the surface
blowing.
But the matter must not stop there.
as increased yield is not alone the re-
suit Of. good seed bed, but the out
come Of using the right kind Of seed
on the proper kind Of ground. This
means that grain used for seed should
be graded in order to remove all weed
seeds and to screen out small. imma.
ture grain and to blow out smut balls
and all other forms Of trash that may
have been found in the grain when IL
left the thrashing machine.
From this matter Of grading grain
alone there may be expected a per-
ceptible percentage Of increase In
yield. and this. together with the right
kind of seed bed. should result In
substantial increase.
There is another item that should
not be overlooked-namely.t the sowing
Of wheat with grain drill rather than
the seeding OF it broadcast. All ex-
periments that have been conducted
along this line have pointed most con-
clusively to the advantage Of sowing
wheat in this way because such grain
seldom heaves out in the late winter
or early spring. while on the other
hand the grain sOwn broadcast is
sometimes winter or spring killed
