WHEAT GROWN AFTER FALL0W
Results Of Experiments Conducted al
Rothamsted Station - Much De-
pends on hitrates Remaining.

AT the Rothamsted experiment sta
tion in England wheat has been grown
continuously and also alternating with
fallow for IS years. The records OF
the station have the following to say
regarding the work;
1T will be seen that the produc
tion OF wheat after fallow is high.
er than when 1t is grown continuously
Ill bushels against 12,7 bushels per
acre; but II reckoned as produc.
tion over the whole area. half in crop
and half fallow. the whole area grows
much less OF both grain and straw
than where the crop is grown year
after year on the same land. A given
area OF land would therefore be more
productive when cropped every year
than II the crop were alternated with
fallow, The superior yield OF the por.
tion In crop after following may In
some degree be attributed to the
greater freedom from weeds, but in
the main 1t is due to the production
of nitrates from the humus OF the soil
during the summer when II is fallow
process which is much stimulated
by the stirring IL receives and the con.
sequent aeration. The success OF fal.
lowing depends upon these nitrates re.
naming for the succeeding crop. They

PREPARING LAND FOR WHEAT
Use Of Roller. Following the plo~.
Not Only Puivesizes Soil, but Also
Compacts II.

In a dry spell the roller and harrow
should follow the plow closely in
preparing land for wheat. The roller
not only pulverizes but compacts the
ground and gives that firm, fine seed.
bed so essential for a good stand of
wheat.
When rains are frequent and the
soil contains plenty OF moisture 1t is
not so essential to use the roller and
harrow every day and finish at night
all the land that has been plowed. Il
may be of some advantage to let IL
dry out little, but In most cases It
is mistake to wait many days before
putting on the roller The roller brings
the soil particles closely together and
allows the bacteria, which are con-
stantly at work. to become more active
and thus put the seedbed In better
condition for the wheat plants.

CONSERVE MOISTURE IN SOIL

Kind Of Mulch.

AMOUNT wasted through evaporation
alone amounts to more under ordinary
methods than Is consumed by the
plant. The waste can be prevented
by forming a surface mulch. Capil-
airy attraction takes place only when
The soil particles are in close prox-
Unity or, In other words. when the
soil is reasonably compact. The proc
ess OF forming mulch disengages the
particles. thereby hindering evapora-
tion. After the mulch Is formed, II
permitted to stand for a protracted
period the soil particles naturally re-
adjust themselves and evaporation
again takes place. Therefore. in eul-
tvating crops. mulch should be
formed quite often. even though no

be narrowed as soon as the seed Is
planted and subsequently narrowed
until the plant has attained a growth

The mulch should be kept up in corn

PERENNIALS AND HERBAcE0Us
PLANTS
By z. VAN eENTHUYsEN.

There ID no class Of towering plants
moro desirable than the hardy peren-
malls and herbaceous plants like the
hydrangeas. the peonies. the holly
hooks. golden glow. spireas and iris.
These plants require but little at.
tention, and for those who have not
much time to devote to the garden,
there 10 no class more desirable.
Most Of them will do well in ordi.
nary soils and flourish under condi.
lions unfavorable to the satisfactory
development Of ANNALS.
The ANNALS should be left to those
who are here this season and away
next. For the permanent residents
It is we'll to consider the merits Of
this class Of plants.
The cultivation Of q collection OF
hardy plant is urged In preference to
annuals because the latter class will
not prove satisfactory unless q good
deal Of time and labor are expended
on them.
One Of the prime arguments in fav-
or of the perennials is-that once es.
tablished your plants are good for an
indefinite period. Your garden does
not have to be made every season.
About all this class of plants will
ask Of you is that in the spring the
plants will need to be worked about
and freed from the grass which will
encroach upon their territory, II al.
lowed to do so. the soil will require
fertilizing. and once in three or four
years the old plants will be bettered
by q division OF their roots.
A great many Of these can be at
tended to in a day. and the work is
much easier than that of making beds
and pulling weeds.
One OF the best perennials Is the
hydrangea. The coloring is beautiful
and 1t lends itself to massing and Is
lovely in all its stages from the first
tender green. through the pink and
rose stage on to its russet coloring in
the fall.
The hollyhock is another favorite.
II comes in wide range OF colors-
white. rose, crimson, maroon. and soft
yellow--it is a profuse bloomer and
does well in almost any kind Of soil.
Double hollyhocxs are mostly in
favor these days. but the single ones
are well worth the cultivation. Cut
OF the old fiower-stalks. as soon as
the buds on them have developed,
and quite frequently new stalks will
be sent up late in the season.
In this way one may have holly

TURNING COVER CROP UNDER
Much Depends on Soil, Weather Con.
ditions and Crop to Follow
Planting Corn After Glover.

The state at which a cover crop
should be turned under depends upon
the soil, weather conditions and the
crop that is to follow. Where corn is
to be planted on crimson clover land,
the clover should be turned under Just
when the bloom begins to appear. The
crop at this stage will contain about
the maximum amount of plant food.
Besides, 1t will decay much more read
lily than II permitted to reach full ma
turity. 1t may be necessary to turn
the clover under a little earlier, In
order to get the corn planted at the
proper time.

Great clumps OF golden glow or
rudbeckia make an exceedingly rich
show Of color. For weeks II Is q solid

The spireas should be more extern

find more exquisitely lovely flower.

The iris should always be given q

lection. II must have a somewhat

German varieties have remarkable
colorings.
Perennial phlox should be in the
collection and ought to include doz-

den. It grows easily and Is q profuse
bloomer.
Hardy pinks are good. readily OBJ
tainable and easily grown. Unless you
desire Immediate effects all the kinds
here mentioned will bloom the second
season from Seeding plants.

garden for next year and II you have
