Fall Flowing Not Advisable.

Fall blowing for winter wheat is not
advisable, according to a report just
issued by Manley Champlin and J.. d.
Morrison, OF the Sr"te college agrono
my department { an corn ground,
disked if necessary to permit covering
the seed, is better than fall blowing,
since the latter leaves the plants ex,
posed so that winter killing is usually
severe-eVen though the wheat lives,
IL is killed back 10 the roots, thus de-
laying maturity. The same report adj
vises planting more winter wheat IN
South Dakota since il is as sure a crop
as spring wheat in about three-fourths
of the state and has produced a high
er average yield than spring wheat.
At present, less than 10 per cen of the
o million acres in wheat is used for
the production of winter wheat.

HleTTt.-
South Dakota bean growers who de-
sire to obtain the best market price
should see to it that their beans are
free from impurities, cracked beans,
or immature or discolored beans. say
the state college agronomists. Wheth-
er it is most profitable for the grower
to clean his beans and hand-pick them
rather than to sell for the ordinary
market price, and leave the cleaning to
others, is a problem for each individ.
ual to decide for himself. Co-opera-
ton among growers would solve the
problem economically and make it pos
sible TO do the work Of harvesting,
cleaning and grading with modern ma
chinery.
Everything possible should be done
to prevent the beans from being in.
jured by fall rains while they are
awaiting threshing. If the seed bed
has been carefully prepared in the
spring and the beans planted at the
same depth. the crop very likely has
ripened evenly, causing little loss from
immature beans.
Beans may be harvested with a
homemade implement or an adapted
corn cultivator by so arranging the
blades on the cultivator that it will
cut the roots of the beans about an
inch below the ground. They may
then be raked up with an ordinary
horse rake and stacked in narrow
ricks. Threshing may be done by an
ordinary thresher by removing the
teeth from the concave and by remoy-
ing all but the center row of teeth
from the cylinder, and slowing down
the velocity of the machine about so
per cent, by using a smaller pulley or
the engine or a larger n on the sep
arator.
1t is best. however, to have a spe-
cial outfit Of bean harvesting and
threshing machinery, and for this rea-
son anyone contemplating the growing
Of beans for a field crop should plan to
grow enough to enable him to afford q
good small bean harvester and thresn-
er, as well as a tanning mill for clean
ing. This ideal might be accomplish.
ed by the cooperation of n~eighbors-
each n supplying one of the ma
chimes.
Beans should be stored in good,
tight, clean bins, so that insects will
no attack them. If insects do trouble,
it is desirable to use carbon bisuL
phide treatment.
