State Wide Project

The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has asked that the farmers Of
the United States sow to winter
wheat this fall not less than 45.OOO.-
900 acres. These recommendations
for winter wheat represent increases
in acres for Colorado is about per
cent. If 100000 acres are sown we
may expect a harvest of about $780,
600, 1000 bushels. To aid the farmers
in putting out the increased acreage,
the Extension Department of the State
has started State Wide project, with
the object in view of having every bu-
shell of wheat sown in the state clean
ed, treated and tested The cleaning
treating and testing of seed in the
State will increase the production Of
wheat for 1919 materially
There are several outstanding fields
of fall wheatin Sedgwick County this
year, and farmers should make in
quiry as to securing seed from such
fields. And undeveloped, inferior seed
is wasted when planted The treat
ing of seed for smut is very inexpen-
sive, and insures protection against
a disease which has been great loss
to Colorado farmers.
The testing of seed is important.
Seed that will not grow is wasted
when put in the ground. The State
Agricultural College will test your
seed free of charge.
The early preparatio nof the seed
bed is important. In general it saves
moisture, liberates nitrogen, and re-
suits in firm seed bed by seeding
time. thus increasing yields aHi dis
tributing labor as well.
Seeding with drill is always ad-
visable. In general early seeding
gives better results than late seed
ing.
