METHODS OF WHEAT

Surprising Success in Sowing in

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture
In western Kansas where a large
part of the cultivated area is sown to
wheat year after year, the greatest
cultural problem in terms OF acres
involved is how to prepare wheat
stubble for wheat. For the past ID
years this problem has been studied
at the Fort Hays branch station, and
the results have just been published
by the United States Department of
Agriculture in Department Bulletin
1904, Methods of Winter-Wheat Pro-
duction at the Fort Hays Branch Sta
ton, by John s. Cole and A. L. Hall

This experiment station is in Ellis
county, Kansas, which is in the west
ern tier of the solid block of mil
lion-bushel" wheat counties in that
state. Statistics Of the Kansas state
board of agriculture show that farm
Ing In this section has been stabilized
for 80 years by devoting nearly three
fourths of the cultivated acreage to
winter wheat. During this period
there has been no change in yields,
the average for the county from 1891
to 1920, inclusive, being only 9.6
bushels to the acre.
All this time wheat has been grown
continuously after wheat by several
methods. In this region there are 80
days between harvest and seeding.
BY blowing 70 days after harvest and
II days before seeding, an average of
10.5 bushels per acre has been pro-
duced, the lowest yielding method
tried, but practically the same as the
average for the county. Early plow-
Ing, 80 days after harvest and So
days before seeding, has averaged
14.6 bushels per acre. Early blowing
subsoiled has averaged II bushels,
and land listed instead of early plowed

was a GIRL was selected from about
$50 club members now enrolled in
work with gardens, pigs, poultry,
calves, and bees, under the leader
ship of the London Daily Mail. This
work was begun two years ago as a
result of observations made by Lord
Northcliffe during a visit to the United
States in 1919. The English enroll
ment is insignificant when compared
with the half million club members
in this country, but it promises to be
the beginning of a popular educational
movement in England.
Before attending the Royal Agricul-
tural Society show, where they COM
peted for the gold cup, the American
boys visited Edinburgh, parts of Scot
land famous for Shorthorn cattle and
Clydesdale horses, a number Of Eng

ty fair at DOncaster. AT the royal
show they attended n of the an
nual auction sales that drew buyers
from Denmark, France, Spain, and
even from the Far East. Following
the show the party took a flying trip
to the French battlefields, reaching

HOW THE GULLIES
CAN BE RECLAIMED
PIowing-in and Seeding to Grass
or Timber Recommended.
Farmers Should Build SoiI-Savino
Dams That Check Erosion and
Cause the Filling of Space
With Silt.

prepared by the United States Department
OF ARriculture.)
GulIes are a source OF great loss
to the farmer. They ruin fertile
land, interfere with farm operations,
undermine buildings, encroach on pub
lie roads, endanger the life of stock
and mar the beauty and lower the
market value of the farm. They can
be prevented by increasing the abb
sorptive capacity of the soil by till
ing, protecting the surface from
erosion by proper cultivation, and by
conducting the surplus water from
the field at a low velocity. Gullies
can be reclaimed by plowing-in and
seeding to grass or timber, or by
building soil-saying dams that check
erosion and cause the filing of the
gully with silt.
In checking outlying, the first thing
Is to stop 1t at the head. If possible,
the water should be turned into q
natural water-course before it reaches
the head of the gully. In shallow
gullies, a dam built close to the head
will give q fill of soil in a short time.
In deeper gullies, q longer time Is
necessary according to the condition
and amount of washing. Brush and
straw, firmly fastened down, make
a good dam for stopping erosion.
In regions where timber and brush
are plentiful good results in filing
gullies have been obtained by the use
Of brush dams. In hillside gullies
where the flow of water Is small the
dams are commonly built of loose
brush sometimes weighted down with
logs. Where the flow is enough to
overtop the dam, the brush can be
held down by crosspieces and stakes.
Simply dumping the brush into a gully
will not give good results.
Before beginning to reclaim a gully
with soil-saying dams, the entire work
of reclamation should be planned. If
only a part of the work is planned
1t may not ft into the complete re-
clamation work which may be under
taken later. After the head dam is
in place and erosion checked, a num-
Der of low, temporary dams can be
used in a wide, shallow depression
that will gradually fill. If the gully
ends in the side of a deep drainage
channel, the lower end must be built
up with a high dam. The higher the
dams the fewer will be required, but
several low dams are less costly than
one high one and are more easily
constructed. A low dam also requires
less care and attention than a high
dam.

through the use of pits, banks, or cell
lars they have been losing a large part
of the stored crop. But If some build
ing which erves another important
purpose can be remodeled so as to
meet both needs a greater part of the
sweet potatoes produced can be saved
at a small outlay Of money. On farms
which have 1ue-heated tobacco barns
or similar buildings that serve their
main purpose before the potato har-
vest, this saving is practical.
