VIII EAT


Some excellent farming is done in
Crisp county. Of course, this is the
cotton belt but the farming is in wheat,
oats, cotton, corn, stock raising. Up
to-date methods of farming and crop
rotations are practiced. All of the
farmers of Crisp county who make
any pretentions toward doing good
farming, and this means large pro-
portion of them, carry out systematic
crop rotation.
Wheat is one of the new crops of
this country, and is usually sown from
September to October, and it usually
follows corn. The corn is gathered
and the wheat put in almost imme-
diately after the corn is cut. II the
ground is very weedy, or if cowpeas
or soy beans were sown i'll the corn
at the last cultivation, these are thor
oughly cut with disk narrow and
then turned under with tWo-h0rso
plow 1t is customary, however, 10
SOW soy beans or cOwpeas in the corn
at the last cultivation, because these
are generally grown late in July or
early i'll August, and this does not
leave sufficient time to get enough
growth to amount to anything.
Leeumes Grown With All Crops.
a part of the wheat crop follows a
crop of coWpeas or soy beans. A ma
ture crop of cowpeas or soy beans can
not be had when sown i'll the corn at
the last cultivation, as the frost will
catch them before they are matured,
When wheat follows these legumcS it
is usually where they were sown in
May, from which mature crop of seed
is harvested. These peas or soy beans
are thoroughly chopped to pieces with
ad isk harrow and plowed under two
to four weeks before time to sow the
wheat Then the farmer goes over
the land several times, in the mean
time with disk harrow, following
several times with an acme harrow
He has two to four weeks to get the
land in thorough condition and to al
low it to become compact before SOW
ing the wheat. Then, just proceeding
the drilling of the wheat, a heavy home
made plank drag is run over the land.
This brushes any clods that may be
left and smoothes and firms the soil
The wheat is soWn with a grain drill
in the majority of instances, and most
of the farmers SOW from one to one
and three-fourths bushels of seed to
the acre. Practically all of the farm
ers put 200 pounds per acre of phos'
phate fertilizer on the wheat, putting
it in the ground with drill at seeding
time. Many use about a 10 pounds OF
nitrate of soda in the spring, usually
applying it in March. Immediately al
ter this nitrate of soda is applied the
common practice is to run over the
wheat with spike-tooth or smooth
ing harrow with teeth set backward
so that the wheat will not be dug up.
This accelerates the growth OF the
wheat, and many Of the farmers claim
that this narrowing causes the grain
to mature from week to 10 days
earlier than if it were not given.

mission can only spend $4,000. The
officials want to put in the system start
ing at the mouth. The main will be
larger at the mouth than at its various
sources. In this bid Bedell figured
$1O.25 a foot average for all of the
work. He can not put in the biggest

commissioners say, as he would lose

police he had been living in Davenport.
