THE FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK Heppner, Oregon E II HI 5EE0 BED El Improperly Pit-piirwl Soil May Result in Poor Wand and Loss of En tire Investment, SpeciaUsts Point Out. Washington, D. C, Aug. 29. "Make the seed bed fit for the seed. Do not 'intern' wheat worth 3 or $4 a bushel for seed purposes In a con dition of soil impossible for germin ation." That precaution is urged by the I'nited States Department of Agri culture on all farmers who contem plate sowing the high-priced seed of a high-priced food this fall. To plant seed on poorly prepared land not only wastes the seed that does not germinate, the specialists point out, but it may mean the loss of an en tire investment if a paying stand is not obtained. A Beed bed for wheat must be firm, moist, and well compacted beneath with a mellow, finely divided upper three inches of soil, the specialists advise. If wheat is grown in rota tion with oats or after wheat, the stubble should be plowed to a depth of at least 7 inches immediately af ter harvesting the preceding crop of grain. The ground should be har rowed within a few hours after plow ing and cultivation with harrow, disk, drag, or roller should be given as necessary thereafter until planting time. These operations are neces sary to kill weeds, to settle and make firm the subsoil, and to maintain a soil mulch on the surface. The earlier the preparation of a seed bed for wheat is started the better the con dition of the soil will be at planting time. Late plowing does not allow time for thorough preparation. If a cultivated crop precedes wheat, frequent cultivation given to this crop will preserve moisture and main tain a soil mulch. If level cultiva tion has been practiced, a good seed bed easily can be prepared by disk ing and harrowing after removing the crop. However, if weeds are present it may be advisable to plow shallow, the disk preceding and following the plow. Early plowing followed by thor ough tillage aid in catching the wa ter which falls and in conserving this and the water already in the soil for use by the wheat plants. The firm seed bed under the mulch thus made enahlps the young plants to make use of the subsoil waters which rise when there is a perfect union between the plowed soil and the subsoil,'. Suffi cient moisture is thus assured for the germination of the seed and for the early fall growth of the seedlings, a very important consideration. Plant food is also likely to be more abund ant in the soil when such methods are employed. If the importance of thorough till age were more generally recognized and proper methods of seed-bed prep aration were more widely employed throughout the so-called humid areas, there would be less frequent losses from drought and better wheat crops would result, the Department specialists declare. In this area the mistake i3 often made of thinking there will always be moisture enough present for a maximum crop growth, with the result that short crops often are obtained whete more attention to moisture conservation would have assured good yields. RESULTS TELL There Can Be No Doubt About the Results in Heppner. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Heppner citi zen Can be easily investigated. What better proof of merit can be had? Henry Schwarz, prop, butcher shop Main, St., Heppner, says: "I was subject to severe attacks of lumbago. The pains were like a sharp knife sticking me in my back. When I had one of these attacks, the pain was so severe I could hardly move and when I got down it was hard to straighten up. My kidneys acted irregularly and were congested during these spells. Six boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills fixed me up in fine shape. My back has felt strong and my kidneys have caused me very little trouble since." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Schwarz had.
