VARIETY
OF
) .
WHEAT TO USE.
Valuable Suggestions and Timely Ad
vice which Every -Enterprising
Farmer In Georgia Should
„ Heed.
The wheat crop fdr this year, owinf
to several adverse causes well known
to all the wheat growers pf Georgia,
did not come, up to the average. But
this partial failure should no move
cause a diminution in the area devote^
to this valuable grain than an un
favorable season for corn or cotton
should cause a falling off In the acre-
age of those crops.
The same reasons which led to the
great revival of wheat growing in
Georgia in 1899 and 1900 still prevail.
One of the chief ^arguments In favor
of wheat growing,' so persistently
urged at the time, waB that the negro
farmer by reason of h’ls manner of
life can make a living for his family
at far less- expense than Is required
by the white man, and hence can
afford to sell -his cotton at a lower
price.
Therefore the competition between
the white , and black planter would
prove disastrous to the former unless
he could be self-supporting and have
cotton for his surplus money crop.
A farmer’s life should be ‘ one of
financial independence; but, unless he
can live in the main at home on the
fruits- of, his own industry and supply
the market with those products that
are ever In demand, he Is in danger of
^becoming a hewer of wood and drawer
of water to hls more enterprising
heghbors. If he raises enough to live
Upon, he can hold hls cotton for. good
prioeB.
An attractive looking home, a well
filled storehouse and ready cash for
himself and family are necessary, H
he would bind the affections of hls
wife ajnd children to their country
home. Diversity of crops Is an abso
lute necessity for successful farming,
and no crop that can be raised adds
more to the comfort of a home than
wheat, which in its flour gives that
bread which by most people Is pre
ferred to every other kind, and in its
bran supplies one 'of the most whole
some feeds for stock.
No good farmer in North or Middle
Georgia should -fall to set apart a por
tion Of his land for wheat. What if
there is an occasional short orop?
Can he' raise anything that is not lia
ble to the same misfortune?
Those states of our Union and those
countries of the world are the richest;
whose farmers raise abundance of
wheat and oats, and grass for pas
turage and for hay. Raise abundance
of these things for man and beast and
add to them plenty of corn. Then you
c|n have the best of poultry, -hogs,'
piiaef), beef and dairy cattle add a|I
your cotton will be a money crop,.with
.whlcli- to purchase tjie comforts that
Should be found in every home, and
to provide a support for declining
years.
The Variety of Wheat to Use.
Knowing well the many conditions
affecting the yield of wheat, we would
aghln advise that you select a vari£:y
most capable of withstanding the many
drawbacks .attendant upon the cultiva
tion 'of this grain. A kind having a
strong, stiff stem and possessing the
greatest power of withstanding ex-
. treme cojd weather is the dost. All
other things being equal, that which
has a thin skin or bran is to tie pre
ferred. ' • ■ >' '
Soil For Wheat
A soil, whose predominating charac
teristics are loam and clay, and that
havln^ also anrabundant Bupply;ofnb
trbgenous matter with stiffioieirt phos
phoric acid, potash and lime, is best
adapted to the growing; of wheat. 11
these elements are lacking, use plenty
of barnyard mendre, ffmvtfilable, and
concentrate It. Ten tons to the acre
will not: he too much. Also apply
plenty qf-wood ashes, for these con
tain phosphoric acid, potash, lime and
soluble sillcia, all essqntlar elements
for the growth ofjthe wheat plant. Pot
most land, some High: grade commercial
manure Is the best -| The j soil bust bs
diry, under-drained, if necessary, foi
wheat- cannot be made on land which
has an excess of water. An excellent
soil for wheat is a 1 gray, loamy top
soli, with an under soil of stiff red
clay-
Proper Depth to Cover Wheat
We have from time to time given to
the readers of these talks the results'
of experiments made; td 1 determine the
proper depth to cover wheat. The re-
ter to. harrow thp .wheat and fertilizer*
in, from one to>three inches deep, ac
cording to the character of the soil,
remembering.-fhat. a
is required, itt. close,
in that which is 1
better/plan^'whou
_je the - wheat ’drill after having first
Thoroughly plowed,- fertilized, har- j
rowed, raked, pulverized and rplled ;
the land. This process leaves the land j
in excellent condition for the propa-1
gation and .growth of the wheat plant,!
and gives, moreover, a smooth surface, J
so imspog^ant for the future harvest.
Mr. W. J. Bridges, one of our most
successful Georgia farmers, iil telling
how he raised 65 bushels of wheat to
the acce v .said that he put It in with a
drill, usifig about 400 pounds of a
special high grade potash fertilizer at
the. same’ time. In planting the wheat
he pM 105 pounds, or one bushed
and three pecks to the acre. The blue-
stem variety is considered by many
the best, ft Is claimed by those whb
have tried It that the soaking of the
: wheat In bluestone will prevent smut,
a disease ’more to be dreaded than
rust. The bluestone should be dis
solved in boiling water and about a
gallon of this water should bo used for
every two bushels of wheat, aboqt one
pound of the bluestone being required
for each gallon.
Best Time to Plant Wheat.
The experience of our best farmers
Is, tli&t the wheat should be put in as
late in the season as will allow it to
throw out a system of roots and
leaves large enough tb cover the entire
surface of ground before the coming
of the cold blizzards. Our best Georgia
farmers plant from October 1st to No
vember 1st, according to latitude, soil-
and climatic conditions. Some of our
most successful Middle Georgia farm
ers think that wheat should never be
sown until filter the first big frost in
November, as it will then withstand
more successfully the ravages of the
Hessian fly or small grub. Of course,
the farmers of North Georgia plant
earlier.
How to Preserve and Restore the Fer
tility of the j3oil.
After the wheat has been harvested,
It Is an excellent plan to plant the
entire acreage in cow-peas.;, foi\ there
Is no crop, as fkr as we" know* that
will produce such permanent good Ef
fect upon the soil. By this method
the land is put in good condition for
the next crop' of wheat.
Much of our laqd . in Georgia has
been run down by unwise cultivation
in the past These exhausted lands
need nitrogen and available phosphorio
acid and potash, and, especially, lime.
To restore these elements to our wast
ed lands, sow cow-peas after grain and
turn them under in the fall after hav
ing fljs-t broadcasted barnyard manure,
ashes and lime. The repetition of
this process from yea rto year will
steadily Increase the fertility of the
soil and the wealth of the farmer.
Best Fertilizers For Wheat
Some soils are naturally bo rich that
no fertilization Is required; but these
are the exception, and even the most
of these will, after'a few years, require
some sort of fertilizers in the form of
plant food. These should be in a
form for. immediate use. ., Barnyard
manure, if pulverized very fine and
then applied, is very valuable,
The planting of clover on wheat
lands, ,ln some sections, but of cow-
peas in most parts of Georgia, and
plowing these under several weeks be
fore sowing the wheat, as has been
said, will prepare the land well for
this crop. In England, and in our
western states, the droppings of the
sheep and cattle have added much to,
the productiveness of wheat lands,
But the majority of our farmers are
not stock raisers, and need a fertilizer
that is immediately available.. There
fore artificial fertilizers, or commer-
merclal manures,'must be used, for
the reason that farm manures cannot
always be had in sufficient quantity
and are rarely applied in a mechanical
condition to be readily assimilated'by
•the wheat plant. But the commercial
manures 'have been scientifically pre
pared with special reference to the
needs of different kinds of soils and
crops, and, though they involve some
outlay of money, the Increase of . the
w

P
that a judicious applica.tioh of $10
worth of the proper fertilizers will
often bring a return of from $20 to $30
worth of grain. .
In the management of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, it has ev$r been
my aim to subserve the best interests
of the farmers of Georgia. After ma
ture reflection I still advise: Do not
diminish your wheat acreage) Perse-
vqre and cultivate your wheat landa
after the most ’approved, method. Turn
not hack? but go forward in this good,
work, feeling assured that the final
outcome will* be increase^, prosperity
for yourselves and for all the interests
of our beloved Georgia.
