Tim?* i> Ripe for South Carolina to Return to ti rowing Cirntu?'.low to riant Wheat. Clemaon College, Oct. 13.?South Carolina was at one time a great state but never within tin- memory of men now tilling the soil has she produced enough wheat. Tins crop offers one of the main chances to farmers in the present situation. it hus nearly doubled In price within soverul wecke und will probably go' higher i? war continues until late winter or spring. Farmen In Kan-' cos, where record wheat crops was raised this year, are lying awake' nfghta thinking about how they will spend the surplus cash t ey will have. SVhout Is one of ine liest mon-1 ey crops for the Piedmont now. No other main makes bread so universally prised. Itussla, Austria Hungary, Prance, three of the war? ring nations, arc largo producers of wheat and conditions In those conn tries will cause the World's supply to be very short, Wheat, says W. L, Hutchinson, professor of agronomy of Clemson College, In dlscusing how to grow Ihi.'j crop In Bouth Carolina, prefers heavy loams and clay soils, and Is not m well suited to the sandy la mis of I this State as are ??ats. The Piedmont section is excellent for wheat, especi? ally the heavier soils that are in good condition, though good yields may' bo#mado on poorer soils by heavy] r< rtillxatlon. I and for wheat should be plowed and thoroughly fitted and pu'i?*erised with the harrow and rollers so that the seed bed will be firm with a thin lay< "i" loose seil at the surface. a drill is tin best Imph ment for seeding, but ii' a .hill cannot be ob? tained Ihe wheat may be bowii broad ;a-1 and disked in. Drills apply the fertiliser ami sow the seed bo satis? factorily thut this method of seeding is advised, Ch "d small drills are to i? bad at moderate cost for seeding small areas, Sow live or six pecks to the acre, adtiscs Prof, Hutchinson. Novembei Is a good time to sovv wheat though it i,my be sown a little earlier or lit i" later with good results, l ine . i in or Purple Straw ami Ued Maj arc good varieties to plant. Fultz and r'ulcastcr the latter a bearded Wheat, are also good. At planting time fertilise with a mixture of equal parts of cotton? seed meal and acid phosphate at the rate of live hundred pounds or more to tin acre; then top dress in March with on? hundred t > one hundred and fifty pounds of nitrate of soda. 'I l.e average yield of wheat for the Cnltcd States Is fourteen bushels to tin- acre ami Kouth Carolina's aver a-.c Is ev en smaller, but it is not a dlllleull thing ?er good farmers to grow twenty bushels per uere ami i me make ::s much a;, thirty bush? els, a er? !? of wheat will not Inter? fere in any Way With next .summer's ClopS.
