BETTER WHEAT YIELD
Do Everything Possible to Avoid
Another Short Crop.

by F. L. DULEY, Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station.)
Careful manuring and proper pre-
cautions against the Hessian fly should
be looked after this fall if we are to
do everything possible to avoid anoth-
er short wheat crop. Plenty of barn
yard manure, and clover, alfalfa, or
some other legume in rotation furnish
the nitrogen that wheat needs most
cheaply, but lime, phosphorus, and pot
ash must sometimes be added in other
ways.
The amoune of available plant food
in your soil this fall viii be one of the
chief factors in determining your
wheat yield next year. One of the
principal causes of winter killing is
poor fall condition. On the better
lands of the state this is not such a
serious problem. but on the medium to
poorer soils it is only under exception
ally favorable conditions that the
wheat will be vigorous enough to with
stand severe winter. This fall con-
dition can usually be improved by the
use of some sort of commercial ferti-
liZer. 1t has been found by the Mis-
souri, agricultural experiment station
that the use of commercial fertilizers

Samples of lots of crimson clover

Every lot of seed should be tested

on the wheat crop is usually good in
vestment, especially on the thin soils
of the state.
Phosphorus is the element most gen.
orally lacking in Missouri soils, and
has given very satisfactory money re-
turns when supplied TO the wheat crop
in some form of commercial fertilizer.
This element of plant food is most
commonly added by the use of such
fertilizers as steamed bonemeal, acid
phosphate, or mixed fertilizers which
carry high percentage of available
phosphoric acid. On lands which have
fair supply of organic matter. from
125 to $50 pounds of steamed bone
meal, or $50 TO 200 pounds of acid
phosphate will usually give very sat
isfactory returns. On poorer lands
mixed fertilizers containing some nj
trogen may often be most desirable.
Potash is needed for wheat on many
soils. but the war has made 1t so high
in price that the increased wheat yield
win probably not pay the extra ex-
pense.
