Wh.at on Wheat StubbIe

When wheat is to be sown after
wheat in western Kansas, the best
practice for preparing the seed bed
usually is to disk the land immedi--
ately after the wheat has been re-
moved and to pillow deep immediately
thereafter. This year, however, con-
ditions are very unusual in Kansas.
In many places the wheat was
very heavy and grew very tall SO that
after the header went over the field,
long thick. stubble was left. This
Stubble will be very valuable to the
land in providing humus if it can be
correctly handled. 1t should not be
burned off. If it is turned under,
however, in many cases it will not
decay rapidly enough to permit the
soil to settle and to make firm seed
bed for the crop that will be sown
this fall
The chances are that wherever
such a heavy growth of stubble is
turned under in western Kansas the
land will suffer more from drought
next year than it would if the land
we're handled otherwise. 1t is be-
lieved, therefore, that in many places
where the stubble is unusually long
and heavy, it is better not to follow
the usual practices this year but i'm
stead of ploWing to double disk the
land thoroughly simm ediately; then
after moisture comes, to double disk
it one or more times and then sow
the wheat at the proper time with
out plow1ng. Should piowing be done
the straw should not be turned under
deep but only two or three inches SO
that there will be good firm seed
bed beneath.
These recommendations are un--
usual and should be observed only
where the stubble is heavy and tail
in what is known as the subhumid
section of the state, that is in coun---
ties west of a line running west of
Jewell, Mitchell, Lincoln, Ellsworth
and Harper counties.
This is not recommendation that
wheat be sown after wheat in western
Kansas 1t would be far safer to
grow sorghum next year On land
with heavy stubble. Fall disking fol-
lowed by blowing during the winter
or early spring and the planting of
sweet sorghums, kafir, feterita or
milo would insure a crop, while
wheat is uncertain to say the least.
