two crops of wheat with one plow-
ing. The ground is plowed In the
spring after the weeds have good
start, along in May or the early part
of June. In the fall it is seeded to
winter wheat. The following fall
after the crop has been harvested,
the ground is disced with a good
sharp disc and the straw from the
combined harvester and stubble is
cut right into the ground. This, says
Mr.. Campbell, keeps the moisture in
the ground from evaporating.a 1t is
then seeded with not to exceed 20
pounds of wheat to the acre.
Second Crop Better
"In every instance in our expert
ence," says he, "the second crop has
been better than the first. 1t re-
duces the cost of the two crops total
of about So an acre, and the beauty
of the winter wheat crop is that it
keeps the ground clear. We have
been farming for five years now and
we haven't a Russian thistle on the
place.
"But the ground must be disced
before the stubble is sown. We have
found that this tillage is all import
ant. 1t is equally as important as
the moisture"
The Campbell corporation is oper-
ating 109 traction outfits, all of it's
blowing, discing, seeding, harvesting
and other field operations being done
