selecting Breeding Fowls.

When purchasing breeding stock,
careful attention should be paid to
strain" or family" for breed" is
never a safe indication OF productive
ness. There are numerous breeders
in the country who have built up prof
liable strains OF fowls by trapnesting
or otherwise selecting. and breeding
from their best. II is to this class OF
poultrymen that we should turn when
1t is necessary to renew our fiocks.

PREPARING FOR WHEAT
DIsKINo SHOULD BE USED IN
CONNECTION WITH FLOWING.
Listing 10 Good Method Of Preparing
Seed Bed, Providing Work Is Well
Done-Piow PuIverizes and
lnverts the Soil.

Disking is a desirable method OF pre-
pairing the seed-bed when used in con.
nection with plowing. but It is poor
method when used alone. In a trial
at the Kansas agricultural college
plot that had not been plowed for
three years but where the seed-bed
had been prepared by disking just be
fore planting, produced only l-3 bush
els OF wheat. The average yield for
the last three years from seed-beds
similarly prepared has been only 2-3
bushels to the acre. This yield is not
sufficient to pay for the cost OF pro-
duction. On lighter types OF soil in
the central and western parts OF the
state. this method has produced salts
factory crops OF wheat for a single
season. but when the method is fol-
lowed year after year II cannot be ex-
pected to equal plowing or any other
good method OF preparation.
Two plots we're double disked July
Is. One OF these was plowed Aug. is
and the other Sept Is. The plot
plowed Aug. 10 produced 29% bushels
OF wheat an acre. The plot plowed
Sept. IS produced 27la bushels an
acre. This is a difference OF 2k bush.
els an acre in favor of the earlier date
Of plowing For the best results ground
that is double disked early in the sum
mer should be plowed within a month
poned later than this much OF the
moisture saved by the early disking
will be lost by the rank growth Of
weeds and volunteer wheat that grow
all the more vigorously after the
ground has been disked Also, II the
| plowing is not done before the middle
OF September there Is not sufficient
time to prepare a firm seed-bed for
time for planting. There is absolute
ly no doubt Of the benefit resulting
| from double disking ground early In
the season when 1t cannot be plowed
or listed. Double dlsking early In
| the summer not only insures an in.
creased yield OF wheat. but holds mois-
ture in the ground so that the plowing
can be done later with greater ease
and at less expense.
Listing Is a good method OF prepar.
ing a seed-bed for wheat. providing the
work is properly done. Ground can be
listed more rapidly than 1t can be
plowed, thus where a large acreage OF
ground is to be prepared It can be
prepared earlier in the season by list.
ing than by plowing. 1t is advisable,
however, when listing is the general
practice followed. to plow the land oc-
casionally. The plow pulverizes and
inverts the soil more thoroughly than
the lister. and thereby puts 1t into
better physical condition.
