MAKING WHEAT MORE
PROFITABLE

In spite of the price of wheat, a
good many tanners made money
from wheat last year. The secfet
of their success was high yield per
acre.
Anything that contributes to a
high yield will make wheat growing
more profitable, provided that it
does not cost more than the increase
secured. Success in wheat grow
ing in this section of the country
does not come from yields of ten
or fifteen bushels per acre; in fact,
it is a question whether wheat
growing should be attempted if
average yields of 20 bushels per
acre cannot be obtained over a
period of years with occasional
yields of 80 to 40 bushels in the
good years.
How can the high yields neces-
sary to more profitable wheat crop
be obtained By seeing to it that
the crop has a plentiful supply of
available plant food; that is first
consideration. Good seed and care
full preparation Of the seed bed are
necessary, but these are argely
wasted if plant food is lacking.
Somewhere near you there is prob
ably an experiment field, conducted
by your experiment station, that
demonstrates the effectiveness of
proper fertilizing in securing big
ger yield. Study these results and
your own soil. and the way will be
pointed out to you how you can in
crease your yield.

son than almost any other cereal

Take, for example, the question
