low during the late summer and early
fall, it is liable to be very troublesome
in the following crop of wheat. To
avoid this the seeding of winter wheat
should be delayed until three or four
days after the first good fall rains
have come to permit the mustard seeds
to germinate. While the mustard is
small a drag harrow run Immediately
ahead of the drill will kill practically
all of the plants. Seeding with a hoe
drill will also destroy the mustard at
this stage, provided care is taken to
make no skips.
Some farmers have had excellent re-
suits by handling the summer fallow
so as to conserve sufficient moisture
to germinate wheat early in Septem

wheat belt where the rainfall is light
est, it is not always possible to con-
serve sufficient moisture to germinate
wheat before the fall rains come.
Narrowing in Spring.
When winter wheat and mustard
germinate at the same time in the fall
it is not practical to destroy the mus
tard in the spring by narrowing be-
cause the mustard is as difficult to de-
stroy as the wheat. Considerable Of
the mustard can be destroyed with |
the harrow in tn spring, however,
provided it terminated in the late fall I
some time after the wheat started. The |
narrowing should be done in the early |
spring when the soil will pulverize and
work nicely that is, before the sur
face Is sufficiently crusted to break up
IN chunks.
Spring Wheat.
AS before stated, tumbling mustard
