MAKE A FIT SEED BED FOR WHEAT Unprepared Soil May Result in Poor Stand and Loss of Investment. Washington, Sept 12:?"Make the seed bed fit for the seed. Do not 'intern' wheat worth $3 or $4 a bushel for seed purposes in a condition ofj soil impossible for germination." I That precaution is urged by the United States Department of Agriculture on all farmers who contemplate sowing the high-priced seed of a high-priced food this fall. To plant seed on poorly prepared land not only wastes the seed that does not germinate the specialists point out, but it may mean the loss of an entire investment if a paying stand is not obtained. A seed bed for wheat must be firm, moist, and well compacted beneath with a mellow, finely devided, upper three inches of soil, the specialists advise. If wheat is grown in rotation with oats or after wheat, the stubble should be plowed to a depth of at least 7 inches immediately after harvesting the preceding crop of grain. The ground should be harrowed within a few hours after plowing and cultivation with harrow, disk, drag or roller should be given as necessary thereafter until planting time. These operations are necessarv to kill weeds, to settle and mrtoL-o firm tho cnhcni) and tn Train tain a soil mulch on the surface. The earlier the preparation of a seed bed for wheat is started the better the condition of the soil will be at plantin? time. Late ploughing does not allow time for thorough preparation. If a cultivated crop precedes wheat frequent cultivation given to this crop will preserve moisture and maintain a soil mulch. If level cultivation has been practiced, a good seed bed can easily be prepared by disking and harrowing after removing the crop. However, if weeds are present.it may be advisable to plow shal low, the disk preceding and following the plow. Early plowing followed by thorough tillage aid in catching the wa0 ter which falls and in conserving this and the water already in the soil for ?9e by the wheat plants. The firm seed bed under the mulch thus made enables the young plants to make use of the subsoil waters which rise when there is a perfect union between the plowed soil and the subsoil. Sufficient moisture is thus assured for the germination of the seed and for the early fall growth of the seedlings',a very important consideration. Plant food is also likely to be more abundant in the soil when such methods are employed. If the importance of thorough tillage were more generally recognized and proper methods of seed-bed preparation were more widely employed thorughout the so-called humid areas, there would be less frequent losses from drought and better wheat ?? -'""I'l tKo Dornirnmpnt CIUJJO WUU1U IVOUil, Vt?V -v specialists declare. Id this area the mistake is often made of thinking there will always be moisture enough present for a maximum crop growth, with the result that short crops are often obtained where more attention to moisture conservation would have assured good yields.
