PLOW WHEAT GROUND EARLY Buries Hessian Fly and Gives Soil Time to Become Moist and Com­ pact Underneath. Knrly plowing of wheat ts beneficial in more ways than one. Not only does It bury tho Hessian fly, hut It also gives time for the plowed soil to be­ come moist nml compact underneath. Such u condition of the soil Is difficult to secure If plowing Is put off until September. Keeping down the weeds also conserves soil moisture nnd plant foods. From five to seven hundred tons o f water are necessary to pro­ duce a ton of dry weeds and moist of this may be saved for the wheat crop. Flant food Is made available more rapidly when early plowing Is prac­ ticed, due to the better air circulation. I f the weeds nre kept down, this food Is stored up and ready to give the wheat a quick, vigorous atart when seeding time comes. If, on the other hand, the weeds are allowed to grow, they will draw heavily on this plant food and while they will eventually die and decay, restoring It to the soil, the Neutral Answer.
