Best Wheat Growing
Methods for Crook Co
Of course two of the most im
portant points for successful wheat
growing are the preparation of the
seed bed for the crop and the use
of pure well-cleaned seed of best
varieties for seeding. If the sum
merfallow were well prepared and
the land well cultivated and kept
free from weeds throughout the
fallow season, the seed bed is now
in good condition for planting the
seed. Experiments in this section
have proven almost beyond a ques
tion that the Turkey Red wheat is
the best winter variety for us to
grow, and in the majority of cases
winter wheat will prove better on
our dry lands than will the spring
varieties. Almost always wheat
will tend to "run out' on land
where the rainfall is as light as it is
'in Crook county so that we must
either select our seed bv hand in
the field or purchase seed from the
outside every few years.
We cannot be satisfied with simp
ly buying the seed from the outside,
however, nor by simply saving the
seed from a particularly good field
of grain, but should use the
fanning mill strenuously on the
wheat which we are to use for seed.
The heads in the field are developed
from a crossing of the stalks in the
field while they are in bloom. Thus
even a small number of poor seeds
may exert a great influence on the
yield. The use of the fanning mill
will always pay.
Careful experiments have been

J carried on in Oregon to determine
the best time for planting wheat in
our dry farming sections and it has
been found that it pays to wait
until after the fall rains start.
Many seasons this will mean that
we must wait until as late as the
15th of November but it pays even
if delayed this long. If planted be
fore these rains, either shallow or
deep, as good results cannot be ex
pected. When planted in the dust
shallow a light rain will start the
grain, and except other rains follow
as needed, the sprouted stalk will
dry out and die. If planted deep
many of the stalks will not live to
reach the surface. If one has a
large acreage to plant it may be
best to plant a part of the land be
fore the rains and risk its growth
in order that, with late rains, there
will be less extremely late sowing,
but where possible it will pay to
sow all after the rains. When sow
ing after tne rains, sow not less
than one-half inch and not more
than one and one-half inches deep.
It is always advisable in this sec
tion to treat the seed with formalde
hyde before planting to prevent
smut in the field and thirty pounds
of good seed per acre is sufficient
in this section. A heavier seeding
is liable to use up the available
moisture before the grain is
matured. A. E. Lovett,

to this country two years ago from
Nebraska. He says that while his
two crops of grain have been short,
he has managad to keep more than
even. He is developing a new
place. His chickens and cows, he
says, pay expenses. He believes
chickens pay better than hogs.
Mr. Johnson reports good success
with the experimental corn sent out
last year to farmers by the O.-W.

nicely and the yield was all that
could be wished. The variety
sown was known as the Early

will increase from year to year in
his section as farmers better un
derstand its cultivation.
