Tho prevailing method of "sowing" wheat inis boon to throw the need ou uuplough ed ground, covered with grass, woods, cotton or corn stalks, and then "plough it iu" with a twister plough. Tho result was that, as a rule, tho yield was poor, and wheat- raising Was pronounced a failure. It is easy to predict that with iiu } roved methods thero will bo ificroas od yield per aero, and whoao-raisiug will bo put down as a "success.''
