to procure the necessary stock and
implements. In this State it was
deemed that the Crown lands would
prove too difficult to improve to at
tract returned soldiers, and it was de-
cided to purchase large estates and
divide them up into small farms and to
use the money advanced by the Com
monwealth Government for buildings,
fences and tools. The money expend-
ed by the state in purchasing the land
as we'll as the money advanced by the
Commonwealth for improvements, is
repair in small payments. 1t was

HOW EARLY TO SOW WHEAT!


This is the question frequently ask
ed blythe newer farmers in North Da-
kota. Wheat should be sown in North
Dakota as soon as the soil is in good
condition to work after the 18Th of
March. 1t sometimes happe.s thu.
the soil is in good condition ~ work
early in March. AS a rule wheat
seeded early in March under such con-
ditions does not do well, as we gener-
ally have period of very unfavorable
weather in the latter part of March or
early in April. When good weather
conditions come after the 25th of
March, however, the soil soon becomes
dry and warm and the wheat should
then be seeded as promptly as possible
as the early seeded wheat will usually
yield from ten to fifty per cent more
than late sown wheat. If possible
have all the wheat planted before the
25th of April. If the season should
be very late wheat might be planted
as late as the 10th of May, but the
chances of this late wheat producing
a crop are always much less than the
early sown grain.-W. R. Porter, N.

PEELING SAVES POSTS FROM
BORING INSECTS.

All fence posts should be peeled.
Peeling keeps boring insects out Of
the posts. Since peeling is desirable,
it is best to cut the posts in the
spring.
If the posts are not to be given
preservative treatment, they need not
be seasoned. Records show that un-
seasoned peeled posts last just as
long as seasoned ones. If the posts
are to be seasoned, they should be
piled in square piles, each tier of posts
at right angles to the tiers below.
These piles should be placed where
they will be well ventilated. If large
season cracks appear, the posts should
be piled like cord wood. 1t takes
from two weeks lin dry hot weather)
to three months to complete season.
ing.
Setting posts in concrete does not
materially lengthen their life. Meth
er does placing small stones or sand
around them. Nor does setting the
posts upside down have any effect on
the length of life.
Charring the butts, or treating them
with wood preservatives, increases
their life.-J. H. Allison, Forestry
Division, Minnesota College of Agri-
culture.
