HOW TO CURE WHEAT SICK SOILS

Prof. H. L. Bolley, Fargo. No. Oak.
has recently issued bulletin No. l07
on the subject of wheat. Professor
Bolley is we'll known for his studies
on the diseases of farm crops. and
this bulletin is a good summing up
OF his Investigations of the wheat
crop. The following statment, taken
from the closing paragraph of the bull
,letin is significant:
To the old Wheat Raiser: This bull.
letin contains many statements e to
wheat raising. 1t should be a story
of hope. Don't worry about lost fer
tll'ty. Save what lou can. Most OF
you have lot worn out the mineral
fertility of your soil, permanently
spoiled its texture. or filled it with
toxins poisonous to wheat. You have
only been working in al unsanitary
manner; and have, by rather constant
culture to wheat and its allied plants.
introduced into the soil and seed many
wheat parasites. Look at the remedy.
The remedy summarized: One va.
riety Of pure bred seed well graded
and properly treated; infected lands
purified through crop rotation and til
lwge; purified farm applied
to the proper crops

BIG MONEY FOR FARMERS

The test was made from the seed

seed corn. The results as noted is 70
per cent strong. 10 per cent weak
and 6 per cent dead.
/ believe this Is a fairly accurate
test and should carry some weight as
to the vitality of the seed In the
county. Many farmers have consid-
cred that the corn put up early In g
good place is of sufficiently strong VI
tally to not warrant testing. 80:
Let us figure II that is the case &C.
cording to this test. Ten per cent
dead or weak corn when planted may
mean even o lower vitality than rep.

l believe you can. On the basis ot
100 acres Of corn 1t means an addt-
tional yield OF approximately; 100.
bushels. There is always satisfaction
in knowing that your seed is strong In
vitality and this insures the main.
point in securing an even start with
the growing OF a corn crop.
