DON'T GIVE UP WHEAT CROP
Some Farmers Discouraged Because
Of Lateness In Getting Threshino
Done-Disk Is Handy Tool.

In all probability some who planned
to sow wheat this fall are about to
give it up owing to the lateness Of the
season in getting the threshing done.
To be sure, 1t is better to pillow early
for wheat II you can. but If you can
not, then do the next best thing pillow
as soon as possible. It would help in
getting good seedbed to double-disk
the ground before blowing, then pillow
five or six inches deep and follow with
disk and corrugated crusher alternate
ly several times. The most fields now
have quite crop OF weeds and grass
which will tend to make air spaces in
the seeded. Wheat will not hold well
through the winter in a seeded that
contains air spaces. Most people do
not think Of a disk as in any way
connecting with compacting the
ground. but 1t is more effective In
filling in air spaces than any other
tool.
What about your seed wheat? Is it
good? If 1t isn't, better sell IT and
buy of someone who threshed early
and has good seed. The difference in
price would be well spent.
