Plot No. Sin 1914 was cropped to
Bluestem wheat and alfalfa. This
field had been in winter rye in 1913.
The field had been plowed to depth
of six inches Oct. II, and received the
following spring treatment: Harrow
ed April 6 and IA, seeded April IA at
the rate of three pecks per acre and
six pounds of alfalfa seed. The wheat
made a good growth during the sum-
mer, but the stand was very thin on
the ground. The alfalfa made good
growth until about the time the wheat
was cut when it looked very weak
and sickly Late in the fall it picked
up wonderfully and looked as though
it would make good crop. The wheat
was cut Aug. and threshed Sept. 10.
The yield was eight bushels per acre.
The gorss income from THIS field was
$3.50, the cost of production $6.01,
leaving net income of $3.50 an acre.

at the rate of five pecks per acre. The
seed wheat had been treated with an
extra strong solution of formaldehyde
and it failed to germinate, conse-
quently the field was reseeded May
Is and it made very good growth
during the season. It was cut on Aug.
II, when fully mature, and it was
threshed Sept. .26. 1t yielded II

ceived the following spring treat
ment: Narrowed April and IA,
seeded April IA at the rate of one and
one-half bushels per acre. The barley
made very fine growth throughout
the season. 1t was cut on July %

to the lack of rainfall during the
growing season. The corn yields were
remarkably good. "A net profit of
$8.56 an acre was secured over the 20
acres. The two fields which were in
corn this year are in ideal shape to
