Department advises sowing as
great a n acreage possible.
Conditions are favorable for ger
mination and growth, and the
chances for a crop are good, even
though the winter and spring
rainfall may be below the aver
age. On the other hand, seeding
in dry soil means that the rain
fall and all other climatic condi-
tions must be much better than
normal if a crop is to be pro-
duced.
Breif suggestions for winter
wheat growing under dry-farm-
ing conditions are given in Far
mers' Bulletin 1875, Growing
Winter Wheat on h e Great
Palms." which will be sent free
on application to t h e United
States Department of Agricul-
ture. These suggestions are
based on extensive experiments
in the Great Plains States. The
Bulletin discusses varieties, the
rate and time of seeding, the
place of winter wheat in the agri-
culture of the region, and cultur-
al methods for each of the nine
dry-farming states of the Great
Plains region. The results of
these experiments will be treated
more comprehensively in a De-
partment bulletin to be publish
ed shortly.

GROWING WINTER WHEAT
ON The GREAT PLAINS.
SOIL MOISTURE At SEEDING TIME IS A
MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR sue.
CESSFUL CROPS.

Washington, D. C.-In the cam
paign for increased wheat pro-
duction, the United States De
partment of Agriculture is call
ing particular attention to the
desirability of winter wheat in
the Great Plains region, yet ad-
vises against planting when a
lack of moisture at seeding time
is practically certain to mean no
crop. Under those conditions it
may be better to wait and SOW
spring wheat. The production
of winter wheat under dry farm
ing conditions, says the Depart
ment, is likely to be stimulated
in the Great Plains area, by the
present and prospective prices
and by the plans now under way
to increase the crop as patriotic
effort to meet the necessities of
war conditions. The soils of the
plains are generally rich; fertiliz-
ers are not used and this makes
agriculture in this section indep-
endent of the wartime fertilizer
situation.
Winter wheat is recommended
for this region for several rea-
sons. In the first place it is nat
urally adapted to extensive agri-
culture, in which large machines
can be used to advantage and a
minimum man labor can be made
to cover maximum acreage. In
the second place winter wheat
shows a closer relation between
yeild and water content of the
soil at seeding time than any
other crop. Under dry-farming
conditions, in a normal soil, win
ter wheat can use water from
depth of six or more feet. If the
soil at seeding time is wet to as
great a depth as three feet, the
