Grain Sowing.

The United States Government
guarantees minimum price Of $2.OO
bushel for wheat harvested in 1918.
1t ought not to he n very difficult
matter to induce a patriotic farmer
to raise wheat at $2.0G bushei.
South Carolina farmers are asked to
increase their wheat acreage AZ per
cent this year. This also should be
easy to accomplish.
Two-dollar wheat means high -four,
for when you pay $500 for wheat
and then pay the millers' tool, rail-
road freight and the dealers profit.
your flour will cost you q pretty stiff
price. 1t takes six bushels of wheat
to make the kind Of -four the most
Of you buy-millers and railroads
and dealers have their profit; they
won't work for nothing and board
themselves. The result is you can
make your flour cheaper than you can
buy it.
And besides it will pay man to
SOW wheat for the stubble. There
has been considerable trouble the
last few years to got al early stand
of cotton, but there has been no trou-
bic to get an early stand Of cotton
when it is planted after stubble. An
early stand Is going to be exceeding
ly important when the boil weevil
strikes you, and 1t Is going to strike
you, and when it does the early cot
ton Is all you will have to pick. When
the boil weevil comes, 1t will be July
crop or no crop. And your July crop
will not be very heavy on cotton that
comes up in June. 1t will be the early
cotton that you will pick, and stubble
mighty nearly guarantees n quick
stand. You can't SOW down all your
land at once and it is a good year to
begin when you are guaranteed $2.OO
bushel for your wheat.

The Ohio Experiment Station. OF
Wooster, as an average for the last
20 years, has secured an Increase OF
80 bushels of wheat to the acre from
an application of 1G0 pounds of Aicd
phosphate to the acre. The unphos-
phated Yield has been 11.2 bushels,
and the phosphated 1872 bushels.
Where 100 pounds of Potash has
been added to the Phosphate, tho
YIELD has been 2n,4 bushels 10 the
acre. or an Increase OF IA bushels
more than was secured from phos-
phate alone. Even NJ present prices
ior wheat and before-war prices for
Potash the increase in the wheat crop
was not sufficient to pay the cost of
the Potash. The addition of Potash
to fertilizer containing phosphorous
and nitrogen will not be profitable
when applied to clay and loan soils.
Nine farmers out Of ten should fer
tilize wheat this fall. Fertilizer not
only increases the yield directly, but
the greater supply Of available plant
food makes stronger plants that with
stand the attack Of fungus diseases
and insects better than those unfer-
tiiized. At present prices the farmer
may expect return Of at least flve
dollars for every dollar spent for
wheat fertilizer this fall.
The Importance Of ordering early
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
Those who order early will get what
they want, while those who order late
Will be compelled to take what is left.

FERTILIZING OF WHEAT.

The following statement concern
ing the fertilization Of wheat this fall
was issued by the Department Of Az
ricultural Extension at Purdue Uni
versity, July 81, 1917:
The fertilization of the wheat crop
was never more important than it
will be this fall. From every part Of
Indiana come reports Of the excellent
results secured from fertilization. ond
the Tery poor yields OF wheat secur-
ed from untol tili@ed soil. By fertili2-
ing, the farmer swaps dollars Tor
eagles.
Evidence on the profltableness Of
fertilizing the wheat is abundant. In
1916 l.. M. Waggoner, Of st. Joseph
county, applied 200 pounds of Acid
Phosphate to the acre, on all but a
small part OF field sown In wheat.
From the fertilized part he secured
22.4 bushels Of wheat to the acre,
and on the unfertilized, 1875 bushels
to the acre-a gain Of 90 bushels,
due to fertilizing."
This year 200 pounds Of Acid
Phosphate will cost about $2.25, and
wheat Is worth $500 per bushel. On
this basis the Increase secured by Mr..
Waggoner would be worth $3.50,
and the profit after counting ex-
nenses Of applying fertilizer and pay
ing for harvesting and marketing the
increased crop would be more than
$500 an acre. If this isn't case Of
swapping dollars for eagles it comes
very near to it.
