HOW MUCH TO SOW.

Sow at least two acres for each
horse and mule you work. This
should be the rule for every one who
raises crops, from the one-mule farm
to the largest plantation IN the state.
1t applies to land owners, tenants
and share-croppers. On the large
plantations the tenants and share
troopers can work together and have
means an average of $4,000 acres for
each county, million acres for the
state, and the raising OF enough wheat
to fully supply home needs.

SECOND CROPS.

Lespedeza may be sown broadcast
in March in fields OF wheat. 1t needs
no covering. After the wheat is har-
vested it will cover the land and may
be pastured or cut for hay the same
season.
Wheat may be followed the same
season by June corn, 90-day corn, cow
peas, velvet beans, soy beans ana
Irish or sweet potatoes, making two
paying crops in one year from the
same land

a harrow or cultivator. Such prep.
aration will settle the soil and make it
Arm and in condition TO hold moIs-
ture like sponge. The top two or
three inches will be loose and fine.
This Arm seed bed will make a
close contact with the subsoil, and
moisture will be drawn steadily up to
the top OF the firm soil and held there
by the layer of fine, loose top dirt.
Sow the seed SO that it will rest d.
rectly on the top of the firm soil and
have the loose earth above it. This
will place it where the moisture ac-
cunulates and is held and will insure
quick termination and strong early
growth.
When wheat is sown on land that
is loose and mellow TO depth OF
four OF eight inches, the seed has
loose soil above and below it and the
loose ground does not bring up the
moisture stored below Wheat under
such conditions sprouts unevenly
grows irregularly, and is likely to be
winter killed The conditions are
particularly bad when grass, weeds
or trash are turned under just before
seeding.
When it is necessary to plow' late.
the land should be disked as soon as
plowed and the disk harrow follo~ed
by a corrugated roller or packer. BY
repeated workings alternately with
disk harrow and a corrugated roller,
freshly plowed land can be put in fair
condition for seeding wheat.

ers are going to fail with wheat be-

HARVESTING.

Wheat grown on large, level fields,
free from stumps, should be cut with
grain binder. Wheat on small
fields, side hills and stump land can
be cut with a self-rake reaper and
bound by hand. Where a farmer has
only two to five acres, he can cut it
with q grain cradle and bind 1t by
hand. or II cradle is too expensive,
he can cut with q scythe ana stack
without binding.
Bound wheat should be shocked
and stacked. Wheat well stacked i'm
proves in the stack sufficiently to in
crease the price several cents a bush
el. Where there is more than nve
acres OF wheat it will pay to thrash
It with power thrasher A farmer
with less than five acres can thrash
1t in a short time with an old-fashion-
ed hail. For home use, wheat may
be ground by any kind of a grinder
Many families are using bread made
from whole wheat -four, and like It
better than the regular flour.

PASTURING.

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 off early in March
II these directions are followed, the
pasturing will not lower the yield OF

PREPARATION OF THE
LAND.

The land should be prepared in
such a way as TO produce the right
kind of seed bed Each grower VIII
have to use his judgment as 10 how
this seed bed can be most cheaply
made under his conditions
Land not in growing crops should
be plowed 80 to so days before seed
ing, the longer the time the better,
and prepared as recommended unGer
the heading. Seed Bed for Wheat
When it is necessary to plow just
before seeding, pillow shallow, not over
three inches in depth, and work the
land thoroughly before seeding with
the disk harrow or a cuitivator and a
smoothing harrow. 1t is well to use
float between harrowings.
Grass and weeds are unusually bad
this season, and where heavy growth
must be turned under it will be nee
essary to pillow deep. Follow the pillow
with a 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 enc
and mellow to the depth OF two 20
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 a smoothing harrow.
Land in cowpeas, soy beans or pea
nuts should be disked and narrowed
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 pillow
followed by the disk harrow and cor
rugated roller or packer and worked
repeatedly by these implements until
the soil is 30 firmly pressed around
the vines that have been turned unoer
that there are no air spaces.

sown to wheat. Thoroughly disk and
