 Wheat may be followed the same season by June corn. e0-day corn, cow peas, velvet beans. soy beans ana Irish or sweet potatoes, making two paying crops in one year from the same land.

Wheat makes one of the best win ter pastures for horses. mules, cattle and hogs. Stock should not be allow ed on the ground when it is wet. ana should be taken of early in March. If these directions are followed, the pasturing will not lower the yield of grain.

PREPARATION OF THE
 LAND.

The land should be prepared in such a way as to produce the right kind of seed bed. Each grower will have to use his judgment as to how this seed bed can be most cheaply made under his conditions.
 Land not in growing crops should be plowed 30 to SO days before seed ing. the longer the time the better, and prepared as recommended under the heading. Seed Bed for Wheat"
 When 1t is necessary to blow just before seeding. blow shallow, not over three inches fin depth. and work the land thoroughly before seeding with the disk harrow or cultivator and smoothing harrow. It is wei to use a float between harrowings.
 Grass and weeds are unusually bad this season, and where heavy growth must be turned under fl will be nec- essary to blow deep. Follow the blow with disk harrow and the disk with packer. Alternate these with a smoothing harrow until the soil is so thoroughly packed that there are no air spaces around the trash that has been turned under.
 When wheat is to be sowed in corn that is to be left standing. the land between the rows should be made 7ne and mellow to the depth of two to three inches with one-horse eultiva- tor or 13-toothed harrow The same method can be used where cotton is grown when the rows are wide apart, or the cotton stalks are short Where corn is cut for fodder before the wheat is seeded. the land should be made mellow and fine to the depth of two to three inches with disk harrow followed by smoothing harrow
 Land in cowpeas. soy beans or pea nuts should be disked and narrowed after the crop has been removed and just before the wheat is sown. but should not be plowed Land in COW peas where the vines are to be turned under should be plowed The blow followed by the disk harrow and cor rugated roller or packer and worked repeatedly by these implements until the soil is so firmly pressed around the vines that have been turned unoer that there are no air spaces.
 Lespedeza pastures and meadows usually produce high yields when sown to wheat. Thoroughly disk and harrow the land after the lespedeza has gone to seed. but do not blow it.

SOIL FOR WHEAT.

Wheat needs fertile, we'll drained soil The red and black clay Ioams and buckshot land are adapted to this crop. Sow wheat on good land. It is waste of seed to SOW wheat on wet overfiowed. sandy or worn out eotlc

FERTILIZER.

If the land needs it. apply 200 pounds acid phosphate an acre proao- cast before seeding. and harrow it in. Fifty pounds nitrate of soda an acre applied early in the spring often in. creases the yield one-half.
The Mena weekly star., 1917-09-20
HOW TO SOW.

Sow five pecks an acre when seed is drilled, eight pecks when sown broadcast. Cover wheat one and one half to three inches. Buy. borrow or hire drill, if possible Seeding with drill takes less wheat, the wheat comes up quicker ana more evenly, and usually suffers less from winter killing Use two-horse drills for open field and one-horse drills be- tween rows of corn and cotton. Where grower is not going to SOW enough wheat to justify the cost of drill, he can buy one, SOW his own wheat, and then rent the drill to his neighbors.
 When it is necessary to SOW wheat broadcast. be careful to get it we'll GOV cred to the proper depth. This is seldom done, with the result of much lnoe

WHEN TO SOW.

Sow immediately after the first kill ing frost This is about October 20 at Little Rock.

VARIETY.

The variety Is not important Any early red. soft home grown wheat that yielded well in 1917 is good kind to SOW. Late maturing varieties are likely to be badly injured by rust, while the early kind usually escapes this damage. There is no difference in hardness or yield between beard ed and smooth varieties but some growers prefer bearded and others beardless. Good varieties of bearded wheat are Fulcaster, Klondike and Red Wonder. Good varieties of smooth or beardless wheat are Blue Stem or Purple Straw. Red CT Early May, and Fultz.

Considerable wheat offered for seed has wild onion seed mixed with it. Do not SOW it.
 Grain handlers in North Dakota and other spring wheat states are ar ranging to flood the cotton belt with hard spring wheat for seed, using the argument that Northern grown seed is harder and yields more and that hard wheat brings better price. Ar kansas is soft wheat country. and is not adapted to either hard or North ern grown wheat The Philadelphia Milling Company, Philadelphia. Ark, will sell good, clean seed wheat at cost. and agrees to buy the crop at the highest market price.
