Agronomists Say Small Grains To Be Planted Now Don’t wait any longer to seed small grains, says Dr. Gordon K. Middleton, agronomist of the State College Experiment sta tion. Wheat, oats , and barley should already be planted in the mountain and upper Piedmont regions, and the best seeding dat es in the Coastal Plain and low er Piedmont are from November 1 to 15 for wheat and a little ear lier for oats and barley. It is not too late to seed small grains in the mountains and up per Piedmont, but a slight de crease in yield frim the maximum possible can be expected, Dr. Middleton stated. He cited results of experiments at the Piedmont Branch Experiment station at Statesville over the past five years Which show yields of 15.1 bushels per acre when the wheat is seeded on Nov. 1, 13.1 bushels per acre from November 15 seed ings, and 7.9 per acre from Dec ember 1 seedings. Should weather delay planting in the Piedmont, the agronomist advises use of the Redhart or Purple Straw varieties, rather than the Leap and Fulcaster var ieties which normally do better under Piedmont conditions. How ever, in sections where winter killing is a problem, the Fulcas ter is the recommended variety. Dr. Midleton said that the Redhart and Purple Stra\y varie ties will produce the highest yields in the Coastal Plain area if they are seeded before. Novem ber 15. Lee is the outstanding variety of oats for the Piedmont, but an earlier variety, such as Fulgrain, is better adapted to the Eastern part of the State. Tennessee Hooded barley should be used if grown for hay, or hay mixtures, but bearded barley will greatly outyield the hooded varieties if grown for grain.
