Farm B u Notes
By Sam Jordan
Wheat Seeding

The question always comes up
as to what time we should SOW
wheat to secure the best results.
This can in no way be foretold
but we do have time of safest
averages. In this latitude that
time is from perhaps the last
week in September till an equal
date in October. 1t will be re-
called that this did not happen
to be the best time last year. 1t
may not be the best time next
year but it is considered the
best average time. The Hessian
fly situation will also modify the
time when this pest happens to
be present. Fortunately, this
county is still free from the fly.
When the fly is present what is
known as the iy-free date for
this county would be immediate
ly after the Goth of October. AS
conditions exist at present it
would seem that we are entirely
safe to begin seeding at least by
the third week of September.
We find that on bottom land we
are safe to seed a little later
than on upland. Where we use
fertilizer we are safe to seed a
little later than where fertilizer
is not used. In almost any event
the wheat should have at least a
fair start in its growth in order
that it may stand the winter.
The remainder of these note
will appear next week on account
of space this week.
