A e e P ADVERTISEMENTS '§§®@§\MW E’ arl Se g:hng Marquis, usually results in a good crop being harvested while fields EARLY SOWING of early maturing varieties of wheat, such as the of wheat which are ten day$ or two weeks later in development may be heavily damaged by rust when harvest time comes around. Some- times where the soil is so heavy and rich in organic matter, early seeding is ditlicult, but such fields should be drained and worked as early as pos- sible. Twelve hundred good farmers in the states of North and South Dakota and Minnesota, when asked by us, are agreed upom this point. There is not one dissenting voice, that Marquiy wheat has a better chance if it is put in the ground early. It would be well therefore if you are going to plant more than one varlety of wheat, to sow the Marquis first; then if we have a rust-free year, the Marquis will be its own best vludlcation in quality, quantity and price. What the Soil Needs HERE ARE many other things I besides rust which will af- fect the quality and quantity of the wheat crop. We must sup- ply the plant food elements which have been removed by continued cropping. One' farmer writes: “I believe that our wheat is eas- ifly a prey to disease because of something lacking in the soil. For instance I sold to our mill this fall $4,200.00 worth of Marquis wheat that graded No. 1 Northern and weighed 61 pounds to bushel, and I am sure it was good stuff, as I received $2.65 a bushel for it with only one-half pound per bushel dockage. In one field where lime rock sticks out in places, the finest Marquis grew this year and it was a great big plump berry. In spite of the rustal got 19 bu. per acre. I am going to try liming and a little phosphate this year and will give you the results. “I believe something is lacking in our soil to put our spring wheat over the ‘bad time,” as it is filling in and it falls by the wayside. I have lots of nitrogen and straw.” To County Agehts Wheat growing s a problem for you to solve. We urge yod to conduct local seed plots and get the assistance of as many of your good farmers a8 possible in solving the problem. We hope you will demonstrate the value of sweet clover and other legumes, acid phosphate and limestone, I'lease study carefully the procedure of your best farmers. It ig{worth millions to your county to conquer this problem. Spring Wheat Crop Improvement Association 552 Security Building, Minneapolis, Minn.
