ABOUT WINTER WHEAT

Fall plowing for winter wheat is not
advisable, according to a report just
issued by Manley Champlin and j. d.
Morrison OF the State college agron
omy department. Clean corn ground,
disced if necessary to permit cover
ing the seed. is better than fall plow-
ing, since the latter leaves the plants
exposed so that winter killing is usu-
ally severe-even though the wheat
lives, it is killed back to the roots,
thus delaying maturity.
The same report advises planting
more winter wheat in South Dakota
since it is as sure a crop as spring
wheat in about three-fourths of the
state and has produced a higher aver
g yield than spring wheat. At
present, less than ten per cen of the
four million acres in wheat is used for
the production OF winter wheat.
Winter protection is an essential
consideration. In the northeastern
section of the state heavy grain stub
Bile single disced and corn stalks left
but they involve difficulty in securing
a stand in the first instance, due to
lack Of conserved moisture in the
soil. and a loss in the second instance
because of the sacrifice of corn stalks
which may be needed for feed.
The straw-mulching method has had
a t~hree-year successful trial at the
Eureka experiment farm. Old straw
is spread evenly at the rate of about
three tons per acre after the wheat
becomes dormant in the fall. In the
central section of the state, repre-
scented by the Hiehmore farm, fall
survival is obtained at least half of
the time if winter wheat is needed in
standing corn or in disced stubb'e
ground. Writer wheat has survived
on corn stubblc five out of six years
Ill the eastern part vi the Sldtc, rep
resented by the Brookings farm. In
the area west of the Missouri river,
good winter s~urvivals are obtained
more than half the time on summer
fallow and survival is almost certain
in standing corn stalks or disced
stubble land if the fall rains are suf-
fcient to give the winter wheat a good
start.
Experiments in progress at the va
rious farms in the state for several
years favor five pecks per acre as the
best rate of seeding winter wheat.
The best variety for South Dakota is
the Turkey, which is widely grown
over the state at the present time.
Farmers who are unable to obtain suf-
ficiant seed in their vicinity should
write to the experiment association at
Brookings, asking for the winter
grain seed list which has been pre-.
pared to help handle the seed situa-
ton. other farmers who have a sur
plus of seed should notify the secre-
tary of the association at Brookings,

CHAPTER XIV.
A Shot on the Sand Bar.


July and August OF 1911 were months
of great fires in the Northland. The
swamp home Of Kazan and Gray Wolf,
and the green valley between the two
ridges, had escaped the seas Of devas-
tating flame; but now, as they set forth
on their wandering adventures again. ii
was not long before their padded feet
came in contact with the scared and
~blackened deSOlation. KaZan led his
blind mate first into the south. Twenty
miles beyond the ridge they struck the
fire-killed forests Winds from IIud-
son bay had driven the flames in an
u~nbroken sea into the west, aud they
had left not Il vestige of life or a patch
of green. Blind Gray Wolf could not
see the blaCkened world, but she sensed
It.
All of her wonderful instincts, sharp
ened and developed by her blindness,
told her that to the nOrth-and not
south-lay the hunting-grounds they
We're seeking. The strain of dog that
was in Kazan still pulled him south. 1t
was not because he sought man. 1t was
simply dog instinct TO travel south
ward; in the face of fire it was wolf
instinct to travel northward. At the
end Of the third day Gray Wolf won.
They recroSSed the little valley be-
tween the two ridges, and swung north
and west into the Athabasca country,
striking a course that would ultimately

McFarlane river.
Late In the preceding autumn q pros
pector had come up to Fort Smith, on
the Slave river, with a pickle bottle
filled with gold dust and nuggets. He
had made the find on the McFarlane.
The first mails had taken the news to
the outside world, and by midwinter
the earliest members of q treasure
hunting horde We're rushing into the
country by SnoW-Shoes and dog-sledge.
Other finds came thick and fast. The
McFarlane was rich in free gold, and
miners by the score staked out their
claims along it and began work. Late
comes swung to new fields farther
north and east, and to Fort Smith came
rumorS OF finds richer than those of
the Yukon. A score Of men at first

sand-ruShed into the new country.
Most of these were from the prairie
countries to the south, and from the
placer beds of the Saskatchewan and
the Frazer. From the far North, tray
cling by way Of the Mackenzie and the
Lard, came a smaller number of sea-
sOned proSpectOrs and adventures
from the IukOn-men who knew what
1t meant to starve and freeze and die
by inches.
One of these late Corners was Sandy
McTrigger. There were several reasons
why Sandy had left the Yukon. He
was sin bad" with the police who pa
trolled the country west of Dawson,
and he was broke" In spite of these
facts he was one of the best prospec-

MOVING WHEAT CROP

We are assured that the price. Of
wheat determined by the president
will be maintained throughout the
year by the food administration and
that there can be no object in holding
wheat. In fact, the farmer saves in
tcrest and deterioration by marketing
early at the present time. The rail
ways can handle more wheat to stor-
age points for ready distribution and
to mills to be manufactured into -four
for domestic consumption and exporta-
ton to our allies where it is much
needed and for which ships are avail
able at ports.
The railways wish to appeal to the
farmers to bring their wheat to mar
ket now. Later in the fall the hand
ling Of many more products will cause
congestion and delays. The railways
are now being operated in common
to serve the entire community. The
demands for movements of military
and supplies will be ar increasing bur
den, therefore, the railways must have
the cooperation of the entire commu-
nifty.
