The Seeding of Whea Correctly Proportioned Fertilizers and Good Seed | . Are Important Factors in Increasing the Yield By C. B. Hutchison, Assistant Professor of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, U. of Mi, Wheat responds to an application of fertilizer more freely than any other field crop grown in Missouri. In general, it responds most striking- ly to the application of nitrogen and phosphorus, and fertilizers of this na- ture nearly always give good returns.

On the lands that have been worn by continued cropping the use of a complete fertilizer containing 3 to 4 per tent nitrogen, 8 to 10 per cent available phosphoric acid and 3 to 4 per ‘cent potash, applied at the rate of 125 to 150 pounds to the acre, is good. Another fertilizer that will bring good returns on these thin lands is one containing around 2 per cent nitrogen, 8 to 10 per cent available phosphoric acid and 2 to 3 per cent potash. This is a lower grade fertilizer than the first one mentioned and should be used at a little heavier rate, say from 150 to 200 pounds per acre. These fertilizers will not only increase the yield of the wheat crop, but will aid materially in getting a stand of grass where these crops follow the wheat. INGREASING WHEAT YIELD PREPARING SEEDBED SO AS TO INCREASE YIELD IN MISSOURI. By C. B. Hutchison, Assistant Pro- fessor of Agronomy, Univer- sity of Missouri. The average yield of wheat in Mis- souri for the past te nyears has been about 13.7 bushels per acre, It re- quires approximately 13 bushels of wheat at the average November price for the last decade to meet this ex- pense, together with that of taxes, interest on the investment and the value of plant food removed from the land. ? This evidently means that there are a great many farmers in the state who are aciually growing wheat at a loss. Of course, there are sections where wheat is especially adapted, where much better yields than these are obtained, but at the same time there are many farms where the yield of wheat is not what it should be, and where its growing has not been very profitable. It is, of course, realized by many farmers that the wheat crop, as they grow it, is not in itself a very profit- able one, but it fits into the rotation so well and is of such importance as a nurse crop for grass and clover that it ts often grown for these reasons. There is no reason why wheat should not be made a profitable crop in practically every section of this state, and close attention to those factors controling the profitable pro- duction of the crop will aid materially in increasing its value and importance throughout the state. It is to some of these factors that the a | land be plowed as early in Missouri as dent from thé results of these experi- ments, however, that certain varieties are very superior to others where averages are considered. And there is no doubt that if farmers were care- ful to use only pure strains of some one or another of these better varie- ties the average yield of the state would be greatly increased without modifying the other methods of han- dling the wheat crop. , Unfortunately, the varieties which average highest are not all available in this state and cannot always be se- cured. Among the best varieties of the bearded wheats are: (1) Deitz, (2) Rudy, (8) Mediterranean, (4) Ful- caster and (5) Lebanon; and of the| To Sweet Springs, Mo., Tickets on smooth wheats (1) Michigan Wonder, | Sale same dates and bear same limits.
