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 SHE JBM Mb 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. ; . . o.;p. stejvens; '■/ Commissioner of Agriculture.
