Wheat Growing In Ga.
Tests Made With Different Varieties
And Their Results.
ANDREW M. SOULE, President Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
Realizing the importance of encour
aging the cultivation of winter wheat,
the College of Agriculture has been
conducting for several years past va
riety tests at Athens, Ashburn and
Quitman. It is certain that much re
mains to be ascertained with refer
ence to the best method of cultivation
and the proper rotation of crops. Of
course, the fertilizer side of the prob
lem also needs to be carefully inves
tigated. There is only one serious
drawback to the cultivation of wheat
in the Southeastern states, and that is
that while there is an abundant rain
fall, it is often not well distributed,
hence the crop sometimes suffers from
drought when approaching maturity.
This difficulty can be overcome to a
considerable degree by the develop
ment, through selection, of early ma
turing strains and the management of
the land in such a manner as to in
crease its supply of vegetable matter,
and thus enable it to absorb and hold
a greater amount of water.
Rust is among the most destructive
of the diseases to which this cereal
is subject. Tlie success which has
been attained in developing rust proof
oats, however, leads to the belief that
through persistent efforts strains of
wheat as strongly resistant can also
be obtained.
Essentially the same method of man
agement were used at all of the places
indicated, the soil being broken to a
good depth and a fine seed bed pre
pared. At all places the intention is
to practice a three-years’ rotation in
which cotton, corn and small grain
is followed by cow peas. By this plan
small grain occupies the land only
once in three years, and as it follows
corn the ground is generally in such
condition that a good seed bed can
be prepared. In this rotation the plan
is to turn under the cow peas as green
manure, and as far as possible, a cov
er crop of rye or hairy vetch is usually
seeded in the cotton as well as a soil
builder.
It is the plan to use 400 pounds of
acid phosphate and 100 pounds of mu
riate of potash per acre. In the spring
of the year 100 pounds of sulphate of
ammonia has been applied per acre.
The yield of some of the more im
portant varieties tested in Athens is
recorded below. It appears that as a
result of two years’ work Deitz Amber
made an average yield of 28.7 bushels
per acre; Georgia Red, 25.3 bushels;
Fulcaster 27.4 bushels; Australian
Red, 27.1 bushels; Red May, 26.7
bushels; Blue Stem, 26.6 bushels ;
Mammoth Red, 26.6 bushels; Fultz,
25.9 bushels; Klondike, 25.7 bushels;
Fishhead, 25.4 bushels, and Bearded
Purple Straw, 24.3 bushels. These
must be regarded as good yields and
wherever they can be approximated
the cultivation of wheat as a winter
cover crop and the production of
grain for bread can be practiced to
advantage.
The yields obtained from some of
the leading varieties at Ashburn are
as follows: Blue Stem, 19.6 bushels;
Georgia Red, 19.6 bushels; Red May,
18.3 bushels; Australian Red, 15.8
bushels; Deitz Amber, 14.9 bushels;
Fultz, 13.7 bushels; Fishhead, 13.3
bushels; Klondike, 12.1 bushels; Mam
moth Red, 11.7 bushels; Fulcaster, 11.7
bushels. These yields are not nearly
so good as those obtained on the cecil
clay typical of the Piedmont area,
and yet a number of these varieties
could be grown to advantage on the
Tifton sandy loam under seasonal and
soil conditions similar to those ob
taining at Ashburn with good advan
tage.
The yields obtained at Quitman,
where this work has only been car
ried on one year, were not satisfac
tory, but it would not be fair to draw
any conclusion from a test covering
only one year. Blue Stem made the
highest yield of any varietey, namely
6.7 bushels. Cultivating wheat on this
basis would, of course, not be profit
able. Possibly when these soils are
improved and a better season experi
enced, the yields will be considerably
increased. It is important to remem
ber that through selection and breed
ing it will more than likely be possi
ble to develop strains much better
adapted for cultivation in the south
ern part of the territory than now.
Why Not Build
Farm Water Works
L. C. HART, Prof. Agr. Engineering,
Ga. State College Of Agri.
Why not figure some on helping tna'
good wife of yours who has stool by
you so well and done a great deal of
home drudgery; for instance, why not
install some form of water works?
If you go off and buy all sorts of
equipment for saving labor on the
farm rr for the convenience of taking
care of the cows, why let the wife
continue to carry water from a well
that is located nearer to the cows,
than to the kitchen?
Water works systems for farm
home can be installed for a cost all
the way from S2O to S2OO. Water
works mean not only saving of labor
for the farm wife, but affords incans
for better sanitation, for watering
flower beds and kitchen gardens,
washing the buggy or automobile and
many other such uses.
The College of Agriculture through
its Department of Agricultural En
gineering will furnish plans and work
out a water works proposition for farm
homes, upon application as soon as
such requests cau Le disposed of.
