WHEAT IN ROTATION, Necessary to Fight Weeds, Diseases, and to Put Ground in Proper Tilth, By MANLEY CHAMPLIN. There are a number of reasons why the wheut crop must be rotated if good results are expected after the land has been under cultivation for a few yeurs. Wheat is not a good weed fighter. After ten years more or less continu- ous wheat growing, the soll becomes foul with wild oats, king head, wild peas, mustard, quack grass, thistle and many other weeds, Further than this the scab disease ) and some other fungi harbor to best advantage in soil that grows wheat continuously. The best illustration showing the in- fluence vf crop rotation in checking the ravages of scab, was in the coun- ties of Clark and Spink in South Da- kota in the year 1919, probably the worst scab year on record. Spink county is in the James River valley . and‘is level enough so that wheat cul- ture has been easy and as a result has | been the main crop since the early ’80’s. Clark county, on the other hand, has more rolling land. More of It has been left in grass and diversified farming has been the rule for many years. In 1919 many Spink county wheat fields were scabbed so badly that they were not threshed. Others produced five bushels or less per acre of inferl- or wheat. In Clark county, the bulk | of the wheat crop averaged 10 bushels per acre and upward, although there was much scab In, Clark county as well. Besides being unsound from an agri- cultural standpoiit, the «practice ot growing wheat year after year is economically unsound. It puts all the risk in one place. It provides no means of spreading, the income through the year to advantage. ‘The need for rotation of crops, be- | ing so clearly indicated, it remains for each one of us to work out a rotation that will suit our conditions. In Minnesota and Eastern Dakota a four year rotation of corn, oats, wheat and clover or sweet clover, works out ‘very nicely. In the drier sections where it is difficult to secure stands of clover every year and where there is little danger from a wet weather dis- ease like scab, u two-year rotation of corn and wheat or potatoes and wheat ¢ oF proso or oats in triple rows and wheat is a success, If tame hay or pasture, such as alfal- fa, sweet clover, brome grass or mixed | meadow grass Is wanted, a field can be sown with the wheat. After a stand is secured, it is best to leave it for a few yeurs, When it begins to deteri- orate a new meadow may be planted and when assured of a new stand the old one may be plowed up and worked into the two-year rotation. { After observing a large number of rotation plans in-the drier areas for, | the past ten years, I have ‘come tothe ! conclusion that the above plan is more | satisfactory than any plan involving ‘the sowing of grass seqd every year, Even sweet clover, which is normally a biennial, will continue to come back from volunteer plants for several i BETTER FARMING FOR wie “We should emphasize better farm: |-ing by all means,” says Mr, A. A. Hendricks, Sheridan Co, N. Dak. “This country has been farmed to death, so to speak.. We have been tuking from the land for years and have been putting nothing back, and no soil cai stand this. + “We have learned this lesson, ] hope, and better ‘farming will begin. ‘The land that was summer fallowed,’ produced much better crops than the 1 plowing. Farmers have begun to r 2 corn and they can see that’ wheat on corn land also produces much more than that farmed”in the old way. Nearly every farmer will have a piece of corn next season ‘and many will summer fallow. Some have been summer plowing and nothing more, ‘and white this is, an improve ment over the past, nevertheless, the summer plowing must be worked in order to kill weeds and conserve moisture, t “When this 1s done the land fs ready in the spring and can be seeded early and the early seeded grain is always the best quality. Early seeded grain is also advanced so that in a rust year it is not damaged so much as later seeded grain. “Better farming and good prices gc together. Farmers will make more money by. seeding less acres but put: ting their crops in land that has been well prepared.” RAISE MORE MARQUIS, “My advice to farmers who want @ better crop of wheat,” s: Mr. W. P. Cairncross, Richland . Dak., “de early fall plowing, more working of the svil. Raise more Marquis and ether hard) wheat and less other wheat such as velvet chaff, kubanka and other macaroni wheats. Wheat after clover will rust worse than wheat after corn or oats.
