FLOWING FOR WHEAT.
Land Should Be Broken as Soon as
Possible After Harvest.

Land Should Be Broken as Soon az
Possible After Harvest.
Pillow early for wheat and insure a
better yield, is the suggestion OF s. G.
Salmon, associate professor Of farm
crops in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
Early blowing is desirable because it
kills the weeds, destroys the Hessian
fly larva, puts the land in condition to
absorb moisture and liberates plant
food, especially nitrogen.
When land is left in stubble without
blowing the weeds soon grow and use
the moisture and plant food which
should be left for the wheat crop. If
blowing is done soon after the previous
crop has been harvested the weeds will
not have had time to make an extern
sive growth and mature seeds. Early
blowing will destroy the larva of the
Hessian fly by covering them. :,
On unplowed land much of the rain
is lost because the land is too hard for
the water to be absorbed as rapidly as
it should be. This moisture should be
stored in the soil, and to do this the
soil must be put in a condition that
will best hold the moisture.
One Of the difficulties of blowing
early is the fact that the soil is fire.
quently dry and difficult to work
This can be helped somewhat by disk
ing the land Immediately after the
binder. The disking will prevent the
growth Of weeds and will aid in cOn-
serving moisture.
To get the best results the land
should be plowed before the LIST of
August. After blowing is done the
land should be disked as frequently as
Is necessary to keep down the weeds.
Where the farmer has a large acreage
to be planted to wheat 1t is often nee
essary to list portion Of the land.
The listed land should be narrowed
with disk harrow so as to level the
lister burrows and get the soil ready
for seeding. Listing Is not as good
practice as blowing when done at the
same time. Early listing, however, is
better than late blowing. 1t can be
done cheaper and will insure q higher
yield than will late blowing.
Volunteer wheat should be killed re-
CARELESS of the method Of preparing the
land for wheat. This should be done
especially where the Hessian fly is nu-
merous. If the volunteer wheat is al
lowed to grow the Hessian fly is sure
to damage the crop on the same or adj
joining fields.

The floor Is Of heavy planks. The con-
struction provides for ventilation spaces
at the gables Of the ends. The side
doors are hinged at the top and can be
raised and set under props fastened to
the ends Of the house, permitting the
air and sunlight to enter freely and
making 1t easy to clean.

Hoqqina OFF Corn.

The practice of hogging of corn is
one that is affected by weather condi-
tions. A dry autumn is favorable.
while rainy, wet weather is undesir-
able. Muddy fields may result I'm the
hogs wasting some corn. Extremely
hot weather is unfavorable for rapid
and economical gains, especially when
the hogs used are carrying consider
able fat. AS a general rule it may be
said that cool, dry weather is best for
hogging down corn.
