This wheat was planted about the 18th of November. 1917, and was the Blue Stem variety l planted after killing frost because of the de- scructiveness of the Hessian fly in this locality if planted before a kill ing frost l planted one bushei and a peck to the acre, soaking it IF hours in a solution of bluestone be- fore planting, one pound of blue stone for every five bushels of wheat

FARM NOTEBOOK
1prnaressive Farmerl

fProgressive Farmer)
 Is your wheat drill in tip top shape If you're not sure better see about it and order any needed parts.
 The selection of corn and cotton seed is now in order. if plans have not already been made. This IS work that pays big dividends. !
 Why not try to work out diet for the hogs that does not call for much corn? As much grain as possible should be saved for human consump- tion.
 Are you going to grade and neatly pack your pears so that you can gel top prices for them? Fancy pears are now retailing for as much as for 15 cents.
 The movement of freight is rather sluggish now. For this reason every farmer should buy all absolutely necessary things sometime ahead of the time he will actually need them
 There is no reason why there should he a shortage of turnips and turnip salad It is not yet too late to SOW this crop. and an abundance will make the whole family happier during the coming months. aa
 Of course you are planning to SOW some alfalfa. It's a good feed for almost any farm animal. As an ex- ample. We know farmer who almost doubled the egg production of his hens by sowing a small patch for them.
 It will soon be so cool that one. may do painting without having bugs and gnats gather and become stuck all over it before it drys. It is now time, therefore, to order paints ana brushes so that the work may be started at the most convenient time without delay. I
 It's also none too soon to begin thinking about working over the or chard. All trees that have died should be promptly replaced; and h' there is any fruit of which one does not have an ample supply, this should be given special attention. Abundant fruit usually means good health.
 Those who have not sowed crimson clover do not have any time to lose. In many sections good crop may yet be secured by prompt action but the days slip by swiftly unless one watches out and then-well. 1t means leaving land without legume cloak during the winter and the loss or l a chance to get cheap nitrogen. | Peas are one of our most substan- i tial foods, and, therefore, none should l be allowed to go to waste if it can | be helped Rather than lose them, 1t will pay any farmer to offer as good wages for gathering as for cotton
