Disc the stubble rs soon as possible
after the wheat is removed; follow
disc with a big fire; follow the fire
with the pillow, and pillow deep; follow
the pillow with a harrow or heavy roll
Ter If you do not wish to burn the
stubblc then follow the disc with the
plow being careful to cover all the
stubble and weeds. Prepare a good
seed bed and be careful to select the
strongest .ocd, choosing a variety
having a stout straw.
The most important step to take is
to select carefully the time for the
sowing Of your wheat this fall. From
a long line Of experiments we have
learned that wheat sown after GER
tain dates is practically free from in
festation. The date for sowing wheat
to cvade the Hessian fly is also the
date to SOW for the best yield
Suitable dates for sowing wheat are
as follows:
Sow wheat after September 26,
north of 4lst parallel.
Sow wheat after October list, north
of 40th darallel.
Sow wheat after October 4th, north
of 39th parallel.
Sow wheat after October 10th,
north of 3sth parallel.
Sow wheat after October 25th,
north of Seth parallel.

Number of Generations

There are two generations each
year over the district outlined above
and the recommendation given here
in are applicable to the entire dis
trict. The first generation occurs in
the early spring, at the time the new
wheat leaves are putting forth This
is the one that did so much damage
to the wheat last spring and the
"flaXseed produced by this generation
are in the wheat stubble at this time
The second generation is the one pro-
duced by the "flaxseei" which are in
the stubble. 1t occurs on the fall
wheat and often kills out rs to 100
per cent of the plants. The farmer
must destroy the "flaxseed" in the
stubblc before the wheat is planted.
