D., April 3.—Every day's delay in planting spring wheat, bar- ley, oats, flax or field peas reduces the yield per acre, declares Dr. Ht. L. Walster, dean’ of agriculture at the North Dakota Agricultural college. “These five crops like early seed- ing,” Mr, Walster says. “Experi- ments made by the Ontario Agricul- tural college at Guelph indicate that for each day's delay in seeding farmers working under conditions similar to those at Guelph may ex- pect to lose about a half bushel of spring wheat per acre, a bushel of barley, a bushel and a half of oats, and one-third of a bushel of peas. The dates of seeding in the Canadian trials were April 18 and 24, May 2, 10, 17 and 25.” The extremes of dates of seeding used in the Guelph trials are about the same as commonly occur in North Dakota, according to Mr, Walster, In four years’ trials at Williston, 1914- 17, with spring wheat seeded April 15, May 1, and May 6, each day's de- lay in seeding cut down the yield of wheat on the average 27 pounds per acre...
