some dividends every year, and may mean
the difference between success and failure
in poor years.
By the time this article appears in print
wheat harvest will be well over, and the
first step toward preparing for the crop
year hence should be taken soon. Wherever
possible the ground should be disked
promptly after cutting the wheat. Disklng
will minimize the loss of moisture through
evaporation, and cause the plant food form
ing agencies to become active. The pillow
should follow soon may be, as the adj
vantages of early blowing have been thor
ough1y demonstrated in Kansas.
A Mcpherson county farmer wholrecently
called at the office of the Board, stated that
in his forty years of wheat-raising in Kan
sas he has found early disking and blowing
by far the best methods for maximum yields.
He asserted moreover, that where the land
was first disked it could be p1owed to
depth of six inches-and that IS mighty deep
blowing compared to the general practice
easy easier than blowing at four inches
without disking. He is earnest advocate
of early preparation for wheat, and that he
has been markedly successful a wheat
raiser gives weight to his opinion

out any preparation whatever, and to still
other fields that received but scant atten-
ton
This is not charged to remissness on the
part of the farmer, for in most instances he
did not have the time to do otherwise Ow-
ing to his heavy responsibility in caring for
his bumper wheat crop and other numerous
duties, but is brought to attention merely
to emphasize that proper preparation pays
through the increased yields that may con-
fidently be counted on, whatever the season.
Yields relatively larger under good
farming whether conditions are favorable

7 Asst year will long remain notable in
| Kansas history because of its tremend-
- Gus wheat crop. We have a right to
feel proud of that achievement. 1t is con-
vincng tribute to the friendly climate and
fertile soil Glib
While there is question to the adap
liability of Kansas for the production of
wheat of the highest quality, the record
smashing crop of year ago was the result
of unusual circumstances. First, the acre
age was exceptionally large; second, the
seed-bed was unusually well prepared, and,
third, weather conditions were wel-nigh

no control, the two things that are power
fully important that devolve on him are the
preparation of the seed-bed and the sowing
of good seed.
One of the causes of exceptionally good
yields of wheat in 1914 was that the seed
was sown ground where the corn failed
but which had been given cultivation. This
land had been virtually summer fallowed
and was provided with an abundance of
available plant food, as little had been used
by the corn that succumbed to the dry
weather. The uniformly large acre-yields
produced under such conditions furnishes a
most striking illustration of the point it is
sought to emphasize-the value of thorough
preparation of the seed-bed. Much wheat
sown on corn ground in the fall of 1918,
the following summer turned out so to 90
bushels to the acre, while the average acre
yield Tor the state was about 20 bushels
Contrast that, if you will, with the re-
ports of the present years prospect, three
weeks before harvest. 1t is estimated by
those who we'll capable of Judging that
the average yield per acre this year will
probably be at least five bushels less Con-
ditions perhaps have not been so favorable
in the main, for the preceding crop, but
the principal cause of the wide difference
is quite generally attributed to the large
area that was seeded in. the stubb1e with
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-07-17

In other words, in the western third of
Kansas the summer fa11ow should be prac-
ticed at least once in three years, because
by means of the fallow additional moisture
may be stored deep in the soil and held
there until the wheat can use it to best adj
vantage in maturing crop.
The longer the soil remain p1owed
and cultivated previous to planting the
wheat, the more plant food and water it
will be able to accumulate and have in re-
serve for the production of another crop If
every acre that is to be put to wheat could
be plowed, disked or listed, and put into
seed-bed condition before the middle of Au-
gust, there would be little doubt that the
1914 crop might be riva1ed every year.
There is still another reason this year for
early disking in many places, and that is to
successfully combat the Hessian fly Fields
harboring this pest should be disked
promptly after the wheat is cut Entomol-
ogists inform that disking will not only
start the growth of volunteer wheat and in
duce to some extent the early emergence of
the fly, but will destroy many of the flies
in the 1'haxseeds." Three or four weeks after
disking the ground should be plowed to a
depth of six inches and all stubb1e and vol
unteer wheat covered by at least three inches

perfect from Seed-t1me to
harvest. This was the COM
bination that made possible
the greatest wheat crop in
the history of any state.
Since this is so, it would
seem the part of wisdom to
make every endeavor to ap-
proximate similar conditions
in other years, SO far as lies
in the farmer to bring this
about. We will of course
have to trust to Providence
for the favorable weather
conditions, but whether the
other requirements are full
filled depends very largely
upon the men who grow the
crop. 1t is not the intention
of this article to urge a 1arg-
er sowing of wheat. In fact,
under ordinary circum-
stances, in the opinion of the
writer it would be judicious
to SOW not more wheat but
rather more of other depend
able crops, and raise more
live stock. Leaving out of
consideration the f tors

In recently discussing the same subject,
Dean Jardine, of the States Experiment Sta
ton, said: Early, deep blowing, with
reasonable amount of cultivation, usually
gives the best results when wheat is grown
continuously on the same land, where it
follows oats barley. When wheat is to
follow corn, firm, mellow seed-bed can be
prepared by simply thoroughly disking the
ground after the corn has been re-
moved especially if the during its
growth has been given thorough tillage and
kept free from weeds. Many farmers plant
wheat after corn, which is a good practice,
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-07-17

pTOV1Q1nS the corn can De
gotten out of the way and
the seed-bed put into shape
for timely planting. Where
wheat is grown in rotation
with other crops in which
the soil is given an occa-
sional deep, thorough p1ow-
ing, shallow blowing for
wheat will usually give as
large yields as deep p1ow-
ing. Where it is necessary
to pillow just before planting
time, 8 or 4 inches will be
the best practice, otherwise
the seed-bed will be loose
and unsatisfactory.
In the. western third of
Kansas, where the rainfall is
5 to 10 inches less than it is
in central and eastern Kan
sas, it is highly important to
prepare the ground even
earlier than in central and
eastern Kansas, in order to
allow the land to lie in a
plowed condition and free
from weeds, that it may
store up moisture previous
to the planting of the crop.

ONLY ONE VARSITY
PLAYER IS KILLED
Committee of Fatalities of National
Collegiate Association Shows
but One in 1914.

Chicago. Jan. keep the physica lily
unfit and the unframed player out of
football and the game will be free of
danger, was the opinion set forth in the
report of the committee on fatalities of
football submitted to the convention of
the National Collegiate Athletic Associa-
ton here today.
DR.. George w. Ehler, of the University
of Wisconsin, chairman of the committee,
in the report said that the association
should so on record to point out the dan
gers of the game that exist for those
who are physically unfit, either because
of age or weakness, and the unframed
athlete. He urged that all candidates for
teams submit to a rigid medical and
physical examination and the strict su-
pervision of players, both in practice and
the playing of regular games.
Investigation by the committee" the
report set forth, showed that the cause
for an outCry against the game as a
brutal and degrading sport cannot be
maintained, and the sensatiOnalism that
has been attached to it should cease to
exist"
OF the thirteen players reported to have
died during 1914 from the results of par
ticipation in football games or practice
DR.. Ehler said that only three of these
were college men, and that only one was
a member of a regular varsity team.
All other deaths reported, he said, were
of boys under twenty years of age who
played on high school, athletic club and
irregular teams.
