Sowing Wheat in the Spring

Progressive Farmer
I A reader says he was unable
to sow any wheat up to Decem-
Der IS and wants to know
"about putting some wheat in
during February, just a few acres
for home requirements. Could
safely count on a moderate
crop?"
We can find nothing in the re-
corded experiences of others, or
III our own observations to justi-
/ f. us in advising any one, as far
south as Mississippi, to sow
wheat in the spring. In fact,
much of the wheat sown in the
| lSputh this winter has been sown
It'd late TO give it a fair chance
r. oflmaKing the best yiefus: Much
ofiit was sown the latter half of
November or the early days of
December, and with the cold
weather coming ON early, as it
has, the yields are not likely to
be fair test of our ability 10
produce wheat in the Gotten
Belt. The same remarks largely
apply to the sowing of oats,
which as rule have been put
in so late that they are in great
danger of winter killing, and
even if they live through the
winter they are almost certain
to make smaller yields than if
they had been sown earlier.
We know that oats sown in
the spring average a much small
ler yield than those sown in the
fall. and every consideration
points to the conclusion that the
same, even TO greater degree,
would be true of wheat.

A Bible Puzzle

(Sent 10 The Ansonian by It's Brown
Creek correspondent
"A young man on being asked
how many students there were
in his Bible class, replied:
IF you multiply the number
of times which the Israelites
compassed Jericho, then add to
the product the number of
measures of barley which Boaz
gave to Ruth, then divide by the
number of Haman's sons, then
Substract the number of each
kind Of clean beast that went in
TO the ark, then multiply the
number of men that went TO seek
Elijah after he was taken up into
Heaven, subtract from this JOS
eph's age at the time he stood
before Pharaoh, add the number
OF stones in David's bag when
he killed Goliath, subtract the
number of furlong's that Beth
any was distance from Jerusa.
lem, then divide by the number
OF anchors cast out when Paul
was shipwrecked, and subtract
the number of persons saved in
the ark, and this will be the
answer"
