FLOWING WHEAT STUBBLE

Early blowing Of wheat land in
sures an increased yield. The farm
er may contend that he hasn't time
to prepare the wheat land during July
or early August. If he is growing
wheat for profit, as most farmers do,
he cannot afford to delay preparation
of his land beyond the middle OF Aug
ust, at least, and the earlier he p1ows
the land the greater returns he will
receive from the crop In fact under
any condition the increased produc-
ton will be large enough to justify
some expense in removing the present
crop from the land that blowing
can be done.
1t is doub1y important this year that
the land be pIowed early, for this is
one of the recommendations in control
of Hessian fly. The insect goes into
the f1axseed stage and is found in the
stubbIe. Deep blowing will prevent
it from emerging into the adult stage
and infesting the fall crop. Flowing
prevents a large percentage of the
flies from maturing.
Extremely early blowing of wheat
will, this year, serve still further
purpose after heavy infestation of
chinch bugs has developed. This
should not be relied upon entirely for
the control of the bugs, but remember
that the blowing is primarily to in
crease the yield of wheat and control

The premium list will be out in a

it before commencing to prepare a
calf, a pig, a colt, some cattle or
horses or some poultry. Such animals
cannot be rounded up and put into
proper condition in day or two. 1t
takes time and work and the more
they are worked with the surer the
exhibitor is of winning something on
them. Some excellent premiums are
being offered this year and it is worth
while to go after a prize.

Records in the office of the city

show that the city las netted the total
sum of $3.50 from the dog tax thus
far in 1921. 1t is not probable that
the sum will be increased. No new
licenses were issued during November,
and there have been none thus far in
December. Because of the variation
in the license as regards male and
female dogs, and the date when the
licenses are issued, it cannot be de
termined just how many licenses have
been issued during the year. The fee
runs from 81, on a. male dog, if paid
