with sled or two row, then your best
route will be to list it right now if it Ia
wet enough to list, and if it is too dry,
then double disc and wait till it gets so
you can list it.
In many fields where have ex-
amined, there is much moisture in the
land after you get down foot below
the surface, and where this is the case,
double discing will stop the evapora-
tion OF this water from the soil and
will accumulate 1t just under the
mulch made by the disc, and you will
be able to plow or list within short
time whether it rains or not.
Where listing is done, you will also
find it a paying proposition to work the
ridges down just as soon as possible
after you get done listing; then, if it
! rains and the weeds start, kill them
with disc before they get the start of
you.

work on the amount OF land most of us
are planting to wheat, and know that

around nine cents, and maize and

thing near $3.50 per hundred pounds
and can be fed to six cent hogs and
made to bring 81 80 per hundred lbs.
These are not theories, but actual
facts and experiences in Beaver county

The 1917 WHEAT CROP


The 1915 wheat crop in Beaver cow
ty is of excellent quality but in most
instances the yield is not what it
ought to be.
There are some fields OF mighty good
wheat, but the majority of them are
making such small yield per acre
that they are not profitable, even
though the quantity is exceptionally
good, and the price much better than
the average.
There are reasons tor this light yield
in some fields and good yields in
others, and as / see it, the principal
revsons are two in number; planting
poor seed, and improper preparation of
the land before planting, and both of
these can be remedied il We will start
at il in time.
In the question of better seed wheat,
the only way to get results is to pro.
cure some pure seed OF whatever hind
does best and then grow it pure every
year. II the whole county can not ar
range this, then let each neighborhood
or section of the county do it, for this
will standa-dize the product of each
section of the county and give the crop
a greBter market value, besides max
ing for a greatly increased yield per
acre due wholly to the planting of
pure, graded seed wheat.
Last winter, when wheat was selling
on the markets here for around 81 90
per bushel, the County Agent received
an offer of zoe per bushel above the
ma rket for car lots of pure Turkey Red
wheat and could not find 1t in Beaver
county,
The time for fixing ground for plant
ing wheat this fall is right behind the
harvester, if you expect to grow wheat
where you had a wheat crop this year.
Experiments throughout this western
country have universally proved that
, early preparation of the seed bed for
wheat will average to make enough
more per acre to pay for the fixing Of
the land, and this without regard to
how you prepare your land.
II you intend to plow your land for
the next crop, it will pay you to z t
busy and plow it right now, if the land
| is in plowing condition, and If 1t is too
dry TO plow, the next best thing is to
double disc it right behind the herves.
ter or as soon thereafter as possible
and save what submoisture there is in
the ground, for you may need it to
help out On the next crop, and then
when the land does get in shape to
plow, don't lose any time about plow-
ing it, and either harrow or sub pack
or do both, right behind the plow and
before you lose the season in the land
when you plow. Packing after the
plow will not be so necessary if the
plowing is done early, for the land will
have some chance TO catch enough
rains to settle il down solid again, but
it is necessary on late plowed land, aud
will be found paying proposition OF
land plowed at any time this summer
II you intend to prepare your wheat
