Winter wheat is getting to be more
popular in this country every year
and the wheat growers are Just dis
covering that they can plant sweet
corn. which is as good a paying crop
as they can put on their land, and
after harvesting this corn, and cut
ting and curing the fodder, they can
follow 1t with winter wheat. 1t is
quite advantageous to farmer to be
able to grow one of the best paying
crops we have in this country, and
then have plenty of time to do his
wheat seeding. From what the farm
ers tell us, sweet corn does not draw
heavily from the soil, and is an ideal
crop to follow with wheat.
