Title I am glad to SO? and as 1 have had several to as!, me in person ami by letter about Med I think that a few facts regarding same might be timely. 1 wish to say t) all who wish to diversify in earnest to plant one or more acres in wheat and observe cer? tain facts to wit: Select good seed and do not plant mlllirg wheat. Ker? nels should be large and plump ami ( free from other seed, especially oats and rye, Treat seed with blue stone or formaldehyc to kill fungus. All who have trouble in getting seed should write to E. J. Watson, Com missioner of Agriculture. Columbia, S. C. Write to Clcmson College for bul? letin on wheat growing. Select best; land, well drained, red clay preferred. Hreak thoroughly both ways while dry. Harrow well and plant in a dust on a well formed seed bed, prefer- j ably with a grain drill from three to live pecks of seed to the acre. Fcr terlize with phosphoric acid at time of * i plating, varying amount to suit land, and dress with 60 to 100 pounds of nitrate of soda in spring. He sure thrasher has no oats or rye in it when you go to thrash. Stable manure i broadcasted over land at seeding time would take the place of phosphoric acid and potash. If our farmers will eat broad made from home raised wheat and do not ha\ e the Hour, bleached to rob it of the gluten which i is the most nutritious part of the wheat good digestion will wait on ap petite ami health on both, j Respectfully, F.
