Where wheat has not been generally -grown in the past, the fly is not like-, ly to be numerous enough to do much damage, and in these sections the; early seeding necessary for the best" pasturage may be made with com- . parative safety. It should also be remembered that when the wheat is pastured sufficiently to prevent' it -making a large growth the damage : from the fly is reduced greatly al though the wheat be sowed early. . The date of seeding will of course also vary with the location. October 1 in the northern third of the Cotton Belt is no "earlier than November,! in thesouthern third. If good graz ing is expected wheat should not be sowed later than October I to 15 in the northern half of the Cotton'Belt. Wheat also requires a richer soil, than oats or -rye. The character of the soil is also of more importance than with oats. Wheat will not gen erally do as well on sandy soils as will oats, but for its best growth re quires a clay or clay loam soil of bet ter than average fertility; When sowed for seed probably the In the amounts which we have as .be regarded as entitled to one-third sumed there is furnished by the tim the products of the farm.
