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. Foster-Milburn
