MANURE AS A TOP DRESSING
1t Greatly Stimulates Growth of Wheat
and Assists to Prevent
Winter Killing.

(By NJ. r. MILLER. Missouri College OF
Agriculture)
Every year sees greater number of
Missouri farmers using manure as
top dressing on wheat. There is con-
siderable evidence to show where
wheat is grown in a rotation. manure
can very often be applied to better adj
vantage as to a top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal advan-
tages of this practice. The first one is
that it greatly stimulates the growth
of the wheat and helps to prevent win
ter killing with resulting increase in
yield. The second one is that since
clover and grass are usually Sown with
the wheat and since manure aids very
greatly in securing a stand of these
crops when used as a top dressing with
the wheat, this alone may be sufficient
reason for its application. AS mat
ter of fact the top dressing of wheat
with manure almost inSures a stand OF
clover or grass on land which is at all
suited to these crops. The land may
be too sour or too wet TO grow clover.
Much land in Missouri is too sour. If
1t is only slightly sour, the manure
greatly aids in getting clover stand
If it is very sour, lime is usually es-
sentlal in addition.
