PREPARE GROUND EARLY FOR 1915 WHEAT
[Ry. ". NJ Jardinel.

In the neighborhood of 100000
acres of wheat will be harvested in
Kansas this year The present pros
poets are that the yield to the acre
will exceed that OF the past few years
BY several bushels. With the present
large acreage and the prospects OF
substantial yields, the total output
promises to be upwards Of l3O,OOO,OOO
bushels.
While we OF the state are re'Oic-
ing generally over these wonderful
wheat prospects, We should not TOR
get that the time is almost upon us
when preparation for a 1915 wheat
crop should begin. All evidence from
investigative work, general obserVa'
lions. and experience clearly indicates
that the time to put land into shape
for wheat is as soon after harvest time
as practicable. In other words, the
land that is to produce wheat in 1915
should be disked, plowed or listed, as
the case MAJ be, as soon after this
years harvest as possible. The more
land that is deeply plowed in July,
the more favorable will be the pros.
poets for a maximum crop another
year.
Let US not forget that 1t is a good
average crop OF wheat every year that
produces the most profit to the farm
or and TO the state, rather than q
bumper crop every four or five years.
In order to produce q good average
crop Of wheat IN Kansas regularly It
win be necessary to make early prep

preparation for the 1915 wheat crop
should begin not later than July -
Of the present year.
Eight million acres in Kansas WIN

Most of this ground will be put back
to wheat another year. II every acre
that is to be put to wheat could be
plowed. disked or listed, and put into

OF August, there would be little doubt
that the 1915 crop would rival the
one that is about to be harvested.
