PREPARING THE SEED BED

Spring wheat should be sown as
soon in the spring as the seed bed can
be properly prepared. termination
takes place in the ground when tho
temperature is about AZ to 90 degrees.
Generally the quantity of seed per
acre varies six to eight pecks. Your
W experience will tell you how much.
Drilling is better than broadcasting.
The seed bed should be loose on top
and the root bed firm underneath. The
use of the corrugated roller is recon.
mended.
Marquis is an early variety ripening
from SO to 1876 days after sowing. the
average being about lis days. This
makes 1t three or four days earlier
than most Of the other Fife varieties.
but 1t should be put into the ground
just as soon as the seed bed may be
prepared.
The seed usually should be sown
about two to three inches deep. The
important thing Is to get 1t into soil
sufficiently moist to insure germina'
ton. In heavy wet soil one to two
inches will be deep enough.
Old or stubble land should be plowed
in the fall or as early as possible in
the spring. Sandy soils with a ten
dency to drift, should be plowed under
in the spring. When land is fall-plowed
it should be left rough to catch and
hold the snow and to prevent soil
blowing. Plow six to eight inches
deep. covering all weeds and trash.
Spring blowing may be slightly shall
lower than fall blowing and should be
worked down Immediately. The sur.
face mulch should not be too fine and
powdery in districts where blowing 10
common, besides the rain may puddle
1t and not penetrate so readily. An ex.
cellent seed bed can be made in the
spring on fall blowing or on spring
blowing followed Immediately with
disks and corrugated rollers.

An upskilled laborer at the minimum

enough money to buy one.third Of Q
barrel Of flour and with three days
work can buy his entire years supply.

and nutritious no matter what the
price Of -four.

On q country far over the sea.
The forces Of rulers to sever
And the flag OF the earth to unfold
To secure our freedom forever
And q world Of beauty untold.

name. the property having been decided
to her when Croker disa greed with his
