Newspaper Page Text1 LAND 0 Reports from experiment station go to show that yleldjbf grain may be Increased by proper cultivation of seed bed. With a soil of av irajre fertility the preparation of he seed bed by the proper tillai and cultiva tion method a very argely deter mines the yield f the crop. Three general met jda of tillage for preparing the I nd for wheat are practiced In thi Htate; name ly, plowing, lititingpnd disking. There may be varii ona of theme three methods, an c rly plowing, single listing, doub listing, lit tle cultivation air plowing, frequent cultlvatio after plow ing, etc. Local ci litions may determine which is e best Tests of severn methods of preparing the seed d for wheat have been carried ( at the ex periment station r the past two seasons and sh the follow ing results: The field upon wtfh this ex periment was com! ted is up land soil, previous seeded to alfalfa. The alfalf vas broken in the fall of 190 planted to corn in 1005 and so' to wheat in 1906. The exi iment was started in 1007 o this wheat stubble. Nine dilT nt method of preparing a Bt bed have been tried. Plowing was don n July 15, August 15 and Sep' ber 15.

Neither has it proved a cheap method at this station during the past two years, due to the heavy summer rains that have made frequent harrowing and disking necessary in order to keepdownthe weeds. The same condition has made it very expensive to prepare a seed bed for wheat by disking without plowing. It required 11 diskings in 1908 to prevent the growth of weeds and prepare a rood seed bed by this method. Disking has also resulted in a low yield, producing the least amount of wheat and the lowest net profit of any method employ ed in this experiment. The soil conditions and envir onments suitable for the success ful growth of a wheat crop are ivell established and fairly well understood. With good seed, a few simple factors largely deter mine the stand and the yield of the crop and the quality of the jrain. In order to secure the ideal condition for seed germinition and plant growth, a seed bed for planting wheat and other small eeds should not be mellow to too preat a depth, but rather the wil should be mellow and well pulverized only about as deep as the seed is planted. Below that lepth the soil should be firm and well settled, making a good con lection with the subsoil, so that the soil water stored in the sub soil may be drawn up into the surface soil. The firm soil below the seed, .veil connected with the subsoil, supplies the moisture to the seed, while the mellow soil above the teed allows sufficient circulation f air to supply oxygen and fa vjrs the warming of the soil, gathering the heat of the sun shine during the day and acting is a blanket to conserve the soil leat, maintaining a more uni form temperature of the soil dur ing the night. The mellow soil above the seed conserves the soil moisture, act ing as a mulch to keep the water from reaching the surface, where it it rapidly lost by evap oration, and the same condition favors the growth of the young shoot upward in the air and sun shine. The too mellow, deep seed bed is almost wholly dependent upon rains for sufficient moisture to germinate the seed and start the oung plants. In such a seed jed drouth is very apt to injure the crop because of the rapid Jrying out of the loose soil to the lepth of the plowing. In the loose seed bed the crop is r.ot only apt to "burn out" in sum mer, but it is also more apt to 'freeze out" in winter than a crop grown in the "ideal" seed oed above described. E. J.
