IDEAL IN MICHIGAN.
M. A. o. Advises Caution In Planting
Of Spring Wheat.

Caution in the planting Of spring
wheat-a crop being doomed in many
parts of the state this season-7is be-
ing recommended to farmers by the
department of farm crops of the
Michigan Agricultural college. In
most sections of the state, the de-
partment AYERS, this crop does not
as rule give lucrative yields.
ut is true" according to a state
ment from Prof. j. f. Cox, "thar
numerous instances of success with
the Marquis variety were reported
last season, but it must be kept N
mind that the season of 1917 was an
abnormal one. In average years
spring wheat is not dependable, and
does not give satisfactorily yields in
southern and central Michigan.
Other spring seeded crops, such as
barley, oats, and buckwheat give a
much larger return of food material
per acre, and in the opinion Of the
department it is not to the best in
terest of the nation to increase the
acreage of spring wheat at the ex-
pense of these in the above mention
ed parts of the state. North-central
and northern Michigan are better
adapted to it.
Individuals desiring to grow this
crop, should plant the Marquis, an
early variety, and prepare their seed
beds as early as possible in April.
The use of about $50 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre will increase
yields and hasten maturity.
"The need for wheat is such that
even yields Improbable to the in
dividual may help at the present time,
but we must not lose sight Of the
fact that the grain crops which will
produce the most pounds of food
stuffs per acre will accomplish the
most. On soils which give good yields
Of oats, barley and buckwheat these
crops should be planted and their
acreage not decreased by the plant
ing of springrwhe A season such
as that Of 19l7 might make it pos
sible to produce a good spring wheat
crop, but this is not time to take
chances or experiment.
