The wheat-growing farmer dislikes
much to cultivate rye, because wher
ever grown on tlie same farm some of
the rye will find its way through straw
or manure to the fields where the
wheat is grown. It is not a ditlicult
matter to separate the two grains as
they grow in the field together. The
rye heads out several days earlier than
wheat, and it spires up a foot or more
higher, making it very conspicuous. It
is an easy matter to go through the
field with a pair of shears and clip off
all the rye heads, cutting down low
enough to reach those that are behind

rye is worth several cents more per

rye should always be used for seed.
