Wheat should b e sown early 1^^, enough t0 ga | n the upper enough to allow the plants to get well' j. H „ d oga)n Started before winter. It the Hessian fly was present last year, seeding should be delayed until about the time for the first frost. Extremely late selling should be avoided as It means low yields, From tests conducted in different sections ol the state, the following varieties are recommend: Fulcaster, Ga. Red, (also known as Blue Stem, Purple Straw and Red May.) Tho principles to bo followed In the sowing of wheat may be summed up as follows: (1.) Plow early, give the soil time to settle before sowing if possible. (2.) Use a roller and harrow to compact the late slowed land. (8.) Where wheat la to follow a cultivated crop that la removed from the land, prepare the seed bed wltn a disc harrow. (4.) Make a good seed bed. The Increase In yield will trouble (5.) Use a grain drill, sound, plump, clean seed. (6.) Use manure and fertilizers Judiciously where needed. (7.) Use formaldehyde to prevent losses from smut. Another reason for this favorable esult, says the writer, le the fact that •hen the U-boat war started In March lermany sent out every U-boat she culd muster, good, bad, and lndlffer- ntr and the English defense, which was ready, “reaped a harvest and .rippled the dangerous enemy for tho neulng months."
