ADVOCATES RAISING BUCKWHEAT
County Representative Advises Far
mers To Try This Grain Where
Land is Not Seeded Un-
til Late

In several parts of the county
farmers have failed to secure a stand
of corn this spring due to unfavor-
able weather and other farmers have
few acres that have been too wet
for seeding up to the present time.
In case a cash crop is desired these
farmers will find buckwheat very
Well adapted to their needs
Buckwheat should be sown on land
prepared as for corn. 1t is an ex-
cellent crop to SOW where corn has
been planted but where a stand has
not been secured. Best results are
obtained where the land is ploWed
early and is we'll prepared, but fairly
good results can be obtained by SOW
ing Immediately after plowing and
narrowing.
Buckwheat should generally be
seeded at the rate of three or four
pecks per acre. If the soil is fer
tile and a drill is used and the seed
is of good vitality, as little as two
pecks may be sufficient. AS much as
five pecks are sometimes soWn. II
is best to use grain drill, but this
is not essential, as the seed can be
broadcasted and narrowed in with
satisfactory results. 1t should be
sown from one-fifth of an inch tC
two inches deep, depending on the
condition of the soil.
Best Crop For Poor Land
There is probably no other crop
that will produce better on infertile
poorly titled lands than will buck
wheat. 1t is we'll suited to light
we'll drained soils, such as sandy
loans, and to the silt loan soils.
Buckwheat is very sensitive tt
cold and is killed by the first heavy
frost. 1t fills best in cool weather
however, and so the sowing can be
put off until late in the summer
Under the most favorable conditions
buckwheat will mature in ten weeks
| but the average time is about twelve
weeks When the seed is sown the
last week in June the crop is moss
likely to escape injury from ho
weather which sometimes causes the
| flowers to blast and fail to produce
seed.
The farmer does not need expen
sive machinery for harvesting the
buckWheat crop. An old-fashloneC
cradle, although it requires hard la
bor, does the harvesting well.
The drop reaper, however, is one
of the most satisfactory machines fol
harvesting Many farmers use the
ordinary binder, which practice is
advisable where it can be followed
Cutting is begun as soon as the first
lot of blossoms have disappeared, OF
often just before the first frost is
expected. Buckwheat will mature its
seed in a few days, if after the cut
| ting, the crop is left in loose bun
dies where they are dropped from
| the cradle reaper 1t should then
be set up in small shocks and tie6
near the top with some strands OF
| the straw bent upward from the
sides of the shock. The cut buck
