FB. H. Demar Acting Director of the Agronomy L Missouri Experiment St n, Because of the comp ively large profit and certainty of the corn crop, there has been in the last few years an excess jn the corn acreage which has resulted In an injury to the ground 4nd a reduction in the yield. The excess can also be accounted for ‘by the fact that the hessian fly and the chinch bug did so much destrue- ‘tion in the wheat crop and caused the |farmers to lose interest in it. Few |men have stopped to figure the com- parative cost and returns of the two crops | The statistics kept by the state show that the corn and wheat crops ot | Mixssour! just a little more than pay rent on the land. To increase the profits the yields must be increased The first step in increasing the s {8 to rotate the crops. At the souri Experiment Station the re- sults of the two methods of cropping have been thoroughly compared, While the plots on which the same crop has been grown continuously for the last 20 years have not, pald for the cost of production, those growing corn in rotation with other crops pro | duced 80.2 per cent more than the con- tinuous cropping ones, Wheat ylelds increased 24.4 per cent during the same time, due to rotation. The differences in the variety of wheat are not so great as some of the other factors. There are many good varieties grown In the state. How- ever, It pays to use pure seed of a given variety and keep it pure on the farm, The wheat Is best adapted to a close soll. It is a shallow rooting crop, con- sequently ff the soll is very porous the plants are heaved out ‘in winter and the soil washed from around them in spring. So any variety of wheat type of soil where it is held most firmly in the ground, However much can be done to make sucha condition in other types of soil. Too often our farmers plow thelr ground late and are unable to crush the clods, then sow the grain when it is not well cov- ered, and do not get down to the moist dirt so it can germinate at once, Consequently, a poor stand of weak plants results. These are never able to withstand a severe winter will do best on the above mentioned , continued until the middle of October. This lace sowing is because of the avages of the hessian fly on the ear- ier gown wheat The average rate ot seeding for the state should be ‘bout one and a half bushels to the although slightly tess may be used on very rich soils. Perhaps the worst insect enemy of wheat is the Hessian Fly. Although they are so troublesome, still they may be well controlled by the use of , ‘fly traps.” There are two broods—a | spring and a fall—of which only the fall brood is migratory and is the one {10 be trapped. Sow a strip of wheat ! in the fleld rather early--from the Ist to the 15th of August. The files will lay their eggs in this, then at the regular sowing time this strip can be ployed under and rolled down well, | and the wheat sown again. Such a method will be found of great benefit in. aiding the farmers to get rid of this pest. | The wheat smuts also do consider- able damage to this crop. These amuts are of two kinds—loose smut, or the common black head which ap- pears in wheat, and the stinking smut, The latter is not, visible, but is | found inside the grains of wheat, re-, ducing the whole content to a mass of | black spores which 1s extremely objec: | tionable in flour making, These spores | are carried over in or on the kernels | of wheat and can be largely controlled | by the formalin treatment. Immerse the seed wheat after fanning well, in a barrel containing a solution of | formalin made by adding one pound of formalin to 40 gallons of water. Skim off the grains that float, as they are the ones infested with the stink. | ing smut. Spread the good wheat on } the floor to dry, and the treatment for } both classes of smut has been ac- : complished, The use of good varieties, the bet- ter preparation of the seed bed and the control of insect enemies and | diseases that the farmer can manage are the main faffors to he considered in making a success with wheat. 2 Modified Milk.

All nature busily provides in seasons of plenty for the time when the land ceases to provide. The great advantage that man has over nature is his ability to lay upa store for future needs. He can place his store of savings where it will increase by reason of the accu- mulation of interest. This institution cordially invites the farmers of Bates county to make it their banking home.
