acres of riDened wheat per day.
The great difficulty with heavy
tractors in the wheat section is with
the rolling nature of the land. Wheat
is planted on steep hills where horses
and mules can be driven but where
the heavy machinery slides and tips.
To care for his wheat last year Vim
cent used 100000 new jute bags for
which he paid II cents each. This
year he has ordered a new supply of
cotton ones from Georgia.
Another large wheat farm near here
is that Of Ben Grote, who has seeded
to wheat 10000 acres. John Webb has
a 9,0OO-acre field of wheat and there
is another Of 1000 acres near Toledo.
In what is known as the Big Bend
country there are numerous wheat
farmers who plant from 1900 to 5000
acres each year to grain.
An unfortunate feature of the
growing of wheat in this way is that
the land is being rapidly depleted of |
its fertility. There is need OF a sys- |
tenn of diversified planting to save the |
and from utter barrenness. For |
nearly fifteen years many of these big
farms have been growing wheat every
year. Some wise farmers let their
arms lie fallow every other year,
they get an increased crop
enough to pay for the idle season.
