In many sections OF the South
wheat should do well, aid should
prove a valuable addition to the
crops there grown. Much of the
well-drained clay and loam soils
can doubtless be used profitably
for wheat growing. The sandy
soils, however, are generally not
suitable for wheat. The Coastal
Plains of the Gulf and of the
Atlantic are not likely to return
profitable wheat crops. and in at
least all of the peninsular por-
ton of Florida wheat.growiDg
should not be attempted. The
Piedmont plateau, however. con.
tains much good wheat land.
Wheat can generally be sown
on land on which a cultivated
crop. such as corn or cotton, has
grown by merely disking and
narrowing thoroughly, and then
