PREPARING SOIL FOR WHEAT
Plant Requires Abundance of Food
for Satisfactory Growing-Good
Seed Essential.

Wheat Is plant that responds very
readily to good preparation of the soil.
The plants require an abundance of
available plant food for satisfactory
growth. For this reason many thin
lands would give better results with
fertilizers.
Phosphoric acid has generally been
found to give good results ON worn
soils. This Is the constituent that
stimulates the production of grain.
But the use of fertilizer always re-
qulrcs good preparation of the seed
bed. Wheat needs II very fine soil. the
hncr the better, usually. To get it In
he best condition 1t should be broken
or disked easly and given time to set
tie and crumbte.
Good seeds are essential for strong
plants and Il good stand. Nothing but
heavy, clean seed should be sOwn.
