ACRES OF
WINTER WHEAT

County Agent ouist Says Farmers Of
Crawford Will Raise Much Win
ter Wheat Next Year.
SPLENDID AVERAGE THIS YEAR
GROWING of Winter Wheat Not Alto
aether An Experiment As Many
Have Tried II Heretofore
Ten thousand or more acres of win
ter wheat will be planted in Crawford
county this fall, providing we get rain.
County Agent Quist reports that in all
parts of the county farmers who have
grown no winter wheat the last twen-
ty years are now preparing to SOW ten
to fifty acres. r~ .a
Growing winter wheat is not an ex-
pertinent in this county. Blume Bros.
of near Dow City have been raising
winter wheat for the last twenty years.
They have found it to be better
yielding and surer crop than spring
wheat. Joe Rundlett, of near Vail, is
another man who believes in the fall
soWn wheat. This year Mr.. Rundlett
has a remarkable yield Of about 40
bushels per acre. DR.. Coon reports
yield of % bushels per acre on his
farm near KenwOod from field that
was not considered worth leaving last
spring. Near Schleswig Louie Naeve
threshed a field which yielded better
than 20 bushels per acre. In all parts
of the county there was winter wheat
raised this year. While the acreage
was not as large as spring wheat, the
yield per acre will average better.
Farmers should plant winter wheat
even if they plan to sow spring wheat.
A large winter wheat acreage this fall
Is an insurance against wheat short
age next year. We must have food
and it is a good business and patriot
ism on the part of the producer to so
diversity his crops that If one. crop
fails the United States has another
one to depend on.
Winter wheat may be planted any
time between now and October lst.
We can in most cases feel sure of a
crop by planting as late as October
18th if the seed bed has been properly
prepared. The usual rate of seeding
is ~ bushels of good clean seed to
the acre.
Winter wheat gives good returns
when drilled between the corn rows.
After filling the silo or cutting fodder
wheat may be planted. AS q nurse
crop winter wheat is as good as oats.
"A canvass is to be made Of all the
farmers In this county to determine
the acreage and amount Of seed we
may need to ship in. Township CO.
operators have been appointed and
approved by the farm bureau direct
ors.1 There is one man to every four
sections who will make wheat cen
sus report for his district by August
18th. Seed wheat listed for sale will
be published in directory August
