Page 2 BETTER METHODS OF SOWING SMALL GRAIN If Land Is To Be Broken, It Should Be Done Early-- Don't Sow Until a Good Seed Bed has Been Made. Slipshod Methods Of Seeding Means Poor Crops. In our last article we discuss ed the breaking of the land for oats and wheat, but perhaps too much attention can not be given to the importance of a finely pulverized, compact seed bed. Our falls are generally dry. and while this applies more especial ly to the liulf States, it is also a factor to be considered in the; Southeastern States. For this! reason the preparation of the' seed bed for fall sowed crops be comes an especially important! matter and one requiring the ex ercise of more care and judge ment than is usually given to it. If the land can be broken and j well pulverized early in the fall., say a month or more before j seeding time and then harrowed after each rain, sufficient mois-, ture will be stored, in an average year, to insure the seed ger- j minating and coming up to a good stand. The thorough pul- : verizing >f the soil compacts it sufficiently to put it in condition j t> absorb all moisture that isj likelv to fall and the harrowing! keeps the surface broken so as I t» prevent large loss of this i moisture by evaporation. The presence of large quantities of! weeds, grass, or other vegetable matter on the land is frequent cause of failure to prepare the seed bed in such manner as to retain the necessary moisture. It'l he growth of vegetable mat ter be large, it will in drv * ' weather cause the soil to remain ( loose and open, even though it , be turned under thoroughly. Disking Itefore breaking or mow- j ing the growth and then disk- t ing. will put ii in much better c >mlition for being mived with ( the soil: but if this can not be done, or is not done, then it j should be completely turned un- | der anil the land thoroughly s disked and harrowed after the | breaking, in order to compact or settle the soil. t On every farm there should be ( | a roller and for no purpos • will it be found more valuable than for compacting the land on which wheat and oats are sowed. It w may be used before or after sow- a ing tlk* grain, but preferably be- si fore. If used after seeding a e light harrowing should be given ei immediately after the rolling to prevent the great loss or' moU- v\ Alter The Grippe "I am much pleased, to be able to write and thank I ■ you for what Cardui has done for me," wriies Mrs. Sarah E I J.

The best time for seeding is so variable in different years and in different parts of our territory that no definite advice can be given that will suit all. but a few general suggestion may be made. While too early seeding of wheat in those sections in fested with the Hessian fly will render it more subject to the ravages of this pest and such early seeding of both wheat and oats as to cause too large a ■ i growth before cool weather comes : s objectionable: still, we I 1 1 j have noticed that oats and wheat ' i sowed sufficiently early to ob ' j tain a fair growth and become ' j thoroughly rooted give much 1 better results than when sowed ,so late that cold weather comes ;on before sufficient growth has | been made to enable the plants ! j to become well established, j ' Throughout the greater part of I 'lour territory probablv from l I October 15 to November 15.! I for wheat, preferably by Novem-1 i her 1. and from October 15 to November 1. for oats, are about' i the l>est periods for sowing! these crops. The quantity of seed depends somewhat on the variety or size of the grains, and the fertility of the land: but the best yields of wheat are probably made from around 1 \ bushels of seed per acre 1 bushel to 1J bushels ' is about right. For oats heavier ! seeding is required, but the! (inanity used by good oat grow-J ers varies considerably. Some! use as much as :» and even -1 1 bushels per acre, but from 2! bushels to 2' bushels per acre should be ample. When sowed broadcast by hand a little more seed should probably b» use 1 than when put in with a grain ; drill. 1 • IT PAYS TO USE A GRAIN LKILL. ( With the increasing acreage , which is being put int > wheat j and oats and the prospect for still larger acreages hying sowed j every year, we advise that farm- ( ers plan for the buying of grain ( drills for putting in the oats, j wheat and other small seeds. Better yields are obtained by I seeding with drill than from r hand sowing. The cost is too ! great for one farmer who only puts in a few acres, but one drill i will do the work of a half dozen * or more such farmers, and there is no reason why they should not i combine in the purchase of such f implements. Of course, any farmer having 25 or more acres ) to sow to oats, wheat or rye, etc., can afford to own a drill, j but smaller farmers would find j it more economical to combine . for the purchase of such imple ,! ments that are only used for a 1 1 few days in the year. We are , I rather partial to the disk drills p | with attachments for compress ing the soil on the seed, but any I of the several hundred grain | drills on the market will do satis factory work. No manufacturer I will put his money into the manufacturing of implements until he has demonstrated they will do good work, and if any farmer buys one and does not get satisfactory results the fault is much more likely to be his lack of knowledge of how to manage it than any defect in the j implement. In the Southeastern j States where oats winter kill I I more than in the Gulf States. | the open furrow method of sow- 1 ling is Incoming more popular. 1 Our travels, even in this latter ! section, however, convinced us | that the open furrow method of I sowing oats should be adopted I throughout the entire South, jAs many, or more, oats will l>e I produced when winter killing |does not occur, but more or less! winter killing occurs everywhere during all seasons, and in such cases the open furrow method of! seeding is unquestionably | superior. THE OPEN FURROW METHOD. The objections to the open fur ! row method are the absence of an implement that will enable the man with two or more horses ( t > sow his crop rapidly_ and , the rough condition in which the t ground is left. The latterobjtc- j.> tion is largely removed by l un- ' ning a smoothing harrow over the land in the spring. The seed being deposited in the bot tom of a comparatively deep furrow and only lightly covered come up well, are protected by the sides of the furrow from frost and the falling in of the s>)il from the furrow prevents the spewing which so often ruins the stand of oats when sowed on the level.

HIS CHECK SAVED HIM A LAW SUIT We want you to know how one farmer's bank account was recently the means of sav ing him a law suit and probably a hundred dollars. This is the way he told us of the in cident : "There is a story connected with that check of mine which I told you not to cash last week. I bought a horse of a "man some distance north of here with the understanding that the ani mal was sound. When he delivered the horse I gave him my check. It happened to be towards evening and he went back home in stead of driving in to get the cash on it. I did not think much about the horse till the follow ing morning while plowing. I soon discovered he was off in wind and it made me hot under the collar. I went right to the house and telephoned you not to honor the check if pre sented. Then I called up the man that tried to do me, and told him to come and get the horse, he kicked at first, but when I told him payment was stopped on the check he shut up. he took the horse back that night. Had I paid him the cash it would have probably cost me a law suit." Moral—Pay your bills by check and be safe. THE BANK OF STOKES COUNTY DANBURY WALNUT COVE Walnut Cove Roller Mills.
