* fi! Making Money < On the Farm i V.— Wheal Raising ' . t By G. V. GREGORY. J Aithor of "Homo Course h Modern Aflrtadtare" CanrfUM. 1909. by Aauriaa tnm < />»»ri.(l.n , 1 1 ONE of tbe most Important (tain ' crops grown In this country is . wheat It Is second in rains and acreage only to corn. Not- , withstanding the great importance of | , the wheat crop bnt little attention has j keen paid to Improved methods of col- j tore. Wheat Is largely looked upon as j an extensive crop. Most farms In the j wheat belt are large. This Is especial- , ly true of the spring wheat belt In . northwestern CnltqjJ States and southern Canada. It is no uncommon sight there to see a section or more In one field. Wheat follows wheat year after year. Little lire stock Is kept, and no [ manure is applied to the land. Under this treatment the seemingly exhanst-

less supply of fertility is becoming I worn out The bnmns especially has I been used rapidly, with no source -f « renewal. Usually It does not take < more than a decade of continuous 1 wheat growing to reduce the yield one- I half. Conditions in the winter wheat 1 belt are not so bad. but there Is much ' room for Improvement there also. Not ' only la continuous wheat growing hard ' on tile soil, but It does not distribute ' the work evenly throughout the year. < In the spring there is a rush to get the 1 seed In. In the fall there is a still ' greater rush to get the crop harvested 1 and thrashed. The rest of the year I there is little to do. What the wheat 1 farmer needs Is diversification— more 1 live stock, more crops and rotation. 3 The wheat belt and the corn belt ' should be mixed up more. Many farmers In the com belt raise wheat as one ' of the leading small grain crops. Many others would find It profitable to do so Classes of Wheat. Wheat Is divided Into two general | classes— winter and spring Winter , wheat is sown in the fall, makes a con- , alderable growth and comes up and , heads out the next season. Spring f wheat Is sown in the spring in mucb , the same manner as oats. In Mlnne- ( sota, the Dakotas and other states of ( the same latitude or farther north spring wheat Is the only kind that can be grown successfully since the severe winters are fatal to the fall sown varieties. In the northwest, however, j the warm winds from the Pacific so moderate the climate that winter [ wheat can be grown successfully. Far- ' ther south. In the winter wheat belt. ' the bulk of the wheat Is sowd lp the fall 3 There are many objections to winter wheat. It does not make as high a ' duality of flour owing to the smaller ' gluten content. It Is the gluten that gives the gummy consistence to bread dough that causes It to rise when mixed with yeast Winter wheat occasionally winter kills, resulting in a loss of the seed and the work of seeding. The most serious objection In the corn belt is that it does not work In well after com, which Is the accustomed place for small grain in the rotation. These objections are overbalanced. however, by its greater yielding ability. The start which It gets in the fall enables It to come up much 1 more vigorously In the spring and give < about twice as many bushels per acre 1 as can be obtained from the spring 1 varieties. < Wheat is further subdivided Into hard and soft varieties. The so'- 1 wheat makes a flour that Is unsuited ' to breadmaklng because of its lack of I gluten. It Is used extensively in mak- I Ing crackers. The amount of soft ■ wheat grown for market is compare- 1 tively small. ■ A 'new »vartety of wheat known as ' macaroni has been Introduced into the I western states within the last few 1 • years. It Is very high In gluten and 1 is much used In the manufacture of macaroni. It does not make a very ' high quality of bread owing to its yel- ' lowlsh color. The chief advantage of 1 macaroni wheat Is that It caa be ' grown in regions where the rainfall is ' too acanty for the standard varieties. 1 Will Wheat Run Outf There Is s widespread impraasloa that wheat will run out If grown In , the same locality for a number cf | . years. Experiments at a number of , stations .show that this Is uot so. The | real cause for wheat running out Is continuous culture on the same land. t with little attention paid to seed selec- , tion. Another fact that experimenu j have brought out la that the standard i varieties are superior to moat of the ( new ones Every year seedsmen make < claims of wonderful yields obtained | (ram new varieties, not only of wheat, i

I hut of other crops as well. In moat I cases these claims are entirely unI founded. Before Introducing a new [.variety It will pay to write to your experi mom station for information regarding It Even If they recommend It the safest plan la to try only a fie w acres at first until you see whether or not It is adapted to your particular locality. Where winter wheat can be grown It will pay to raise It In spite of its disadvantages. It can be worked into the rotation by sowing It after oats lnsa rotation of corn, oats, wheat, clover. The clover seed may be scattered on the ground among the wheat plants early in the spring. Another method of using winter wheat in the rotation to cut the corn early for silage or and sow the wheat cm the corn stubble ground. The trouble with this method is that it la usually so late the com can be apt off the ground that the wheat t/Ses not get enough of a start to enable ft to with stand an extra severe winter. There an advantage in having wheat follow corn of some other cultivated crop that the weeds will bother much less The work of seeding la also less since the ground does not need to be plowed. Preparing the Ground. Wheat, like oats, needs a firm seed bed. Corn ground which has been run over twice with a disk Is an Ideal seed bed. It is fiDe and mellow on top and firm beneath. There Is nothing to prevent the capillary moisture from rising rapidly to the loose top layer, where It Is held Just where the roots need It. When wheat follows some other small grain the ground la so hard that except In the case of very loose soils, the disk will have Utile effect on It Such ground must be plowed. Plowing for wheat does not need to be very deep. Many farmers practice burning the stubble before plowing, since Id this way many Insects and weeds are destroyed, and the capillary connection Is restored quicker. Some bumus is lost in this way. but I the advantages gained in many cases | make it more profitable to obtain tbe Deeded humul In some other way. The soil should be well disked and I harrowed after plowing to make a I fine, compact seed bed. With wheat with oats, considerably better yields obtained by the uae of a drill. In or dry soils the press drill Is a advantage. The wheels that folpack tbe soil over the seed. This the soil Into closer contact with the wheat grains, and tbey will absorb moisture faster at>d begin to grow This quickness of starting Is of mucb Importance in fall sown wheat near the northern limit of tbe winter wheat 4>elt, since there everything depends od tbe wheat making a good growth before the ground freezes. I Earliness of seeding Is important for . tbe same reason. If you cannot get your winter wheat in early— and by early la meant tbe first half of Sep- ' tember— it is better to wait until spring and sow a spring variety. The ground for spring wheat should | be prepared In mucb tbe same manner as for oats. The rate of seeding where ' a drill is used should be five or six pecks to the acre, with either spring or winter varieties. When sown broad- i cast about a peck more will be needed. If there is much smut present tbe seed should be treated as outlined for oat smut In article No. 4. Tbe seed should be fanned and graded and test- ( ed for germination. Rotation In Wheat Farming. 1 In tbe great spring wheat regions ( tbe Introduction of a crop of clover every two or three years will material- I ly Increase tbe yield. The growing of clover will mean some live stock to 1 eat it. and tbe manure thus obtained ( will still further Increase the wheat yields Tbe Introduction of some of | the other grain aDd forage crops will equalize ibe demands upon the soil ' end add to tbe profits obtained from |

pig. x — wheat well 8ta0kxd. tbe farm- Experiments at tbe Minne-

sota station showed an increase of 50 cent, or seven bushels to the acre. In wheat following cultivated crops over wbeat grown continuously. Dairying fits in very well with wbeat farming, especially in localities so far ( north that corn cannot be successfully as a grain crop. In such districts the flint varieties can be raised for allage and fodder. The wheat follow- < this corn will be freer from rust scab and weeds- and will yield much mora. The cows will yield a good 1 profit for all the feed tbey consume. J and the work will be more evenly dis trlbuted throughout tbe year. ] When wheat Is grown to be sold to tbe flour mills the price will depend directly upon the quality. To get the qnallty wheat should not be cut , until It Is fully ripe. It should not be allowed to stand too long after It Is 1 ripe or It will shell ont badly. Wbeat should be well shocked and capped ' If not well capped tbe bran will be come stained aDd cracked, injuring tbe appearance and lowering tbe price Stacking Is more advisable than shock threading since it means better qua! and more fall plowing. So much depends on tbe quality of tbe grain and tbe quality is so depend ent on cultivation and harvesting that it behooves him who Is after satisfacresults to make a close study of the situation It does not pay to culti vate wbest Intelligently end harves* \ it In a manner thai makes all previous rare and latior of little avail.

THE SOIOAlf SCHOOL.! Lesson III.— Third Quarter, For) July 18, 1909. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.' T«xt of thi Lvwon, Acta xvii, 1-15. Memory Verse, 11— Ooldsn T.xt, Pa. cxix, 1 1 — Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M Stearns. I Copyright, IMS. by America* rime Amnrliheal Passing through the two places mentioned, tbey sojoprn for a time at Thesaalonlca. where Sabbath after Sabbath they proved from the Scripthat Jeeoa of Nasareth is the Christ, the promised Messiah of Israel, and that, according to the Scriptures, was necessary for Him to suffer and to rise again from the dead. The Lord Jesus Himself after He rose from the dead pursued this very plan and from Moees and all the prophets expounded In "all the Scrlptues tbe things concerning Himself, showing that all the things which are written therein concerning Him most needs be fulfilled (Luke xxlv. 27. 44-46). Tbe good news concerning Jeans Christ took bold of them In the power of the Spirit, for they received the message as It la Keed. the word bf God and not of n. and from them It sounded out through all Macedonia and Achala and elsewhere (1 There. L 6. 8; H, 18). How simple and yet bow full the statement concerning them, "Ye turned to God from idols to serve tbe living and true and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from tbe dead, even Jesus, who delivered us from the vfrath to come" (I Thess. I. 9, 19). Here we have the threefold salvation most clearly stated, saved by recrlfiee when we come to God by Him. then in all tbe dally life living unto Him, serving Him, and all the time waiting for and expecting the return of Christ from heaven (I Thess. 16-18). There were many who believed and continued to give heed to the teaching of Paul and Silas, but there were Jews who believed not and, being filled with envy and Instigated by the great adversary, set all the city In an nccusjng these men of turning the world upside down by proclaiming as king one Jesus. Tbe world Is indeed upside down and all wrong, and notwithstanding' the boasted progress of the day the whole world still lleth In th^ wicked one (I John v, 19, R. V.), and God has said, "I will overturn, , overturn, overturn, until He come whose right It Is, and 1 will give It (EzcU. xxi, 27). There is only one who Is capable of making all wrong things right on this long sin cursed earth, and He Is tbe King who shall reign in righteousness and shall bring and quietness on the whole earth, for He shall be King of kings and Lord of lords, and all kings and all nations shall serve Him (Isa. xxxll, ■ L 17; Rev. xlx, 16: Ps. IxxU, XI). According to our Lord's command. "When they persecute you In this city, flee ye to another" (Matt. x. 23), Paul and Silas passed on to Berea and there pursued the same course, opening to them tbe same Scriptures concerning the same Jesus. Here also many men and women believed and received the word readily and thus brought joy to themselves, tae Joy and peace waich come by believing (Rom. xv. 13). but they also were a comfort to the Lord Himself, for when on earth In His humiliation He said to His Father in Heaven, "I have given unto them the words which Thou gavest me. and , they have received them" ^Jobn xvU, 8). Let us remember that whenever j \ we receive His word meekly and as 1 tbe very word of God we please Him. ' There was at least one point In I which the Bereans excelled, and that 1 In their searching the Scriptures . ! dally, that they might see for them- j selves the things which Paul taught and believe tbem. not because Paul 1 tbem. but because God Himself hhd told tbem In His word. The 1 only way to be established Is to beGod. believe what He says to us I His word, acceptiug It as If He had I spoken It to us directly by a voice I from heaven. Then when we can say, j as did the people of Samaria, "We 1 ' have beard Him ourselves." we Bhall ' I not ite tossed about by every wind of j doctrine (John lv, 42; II Chron. xx, 20; j vii, 9) The majority of church- | are too prone to believe what j the preacher says Instead of doing as Bereans did, and therefore so few j to be established. They also ask, | , "How do we know what to believe ! when different teachers teach "so differently?" The answer la in Isa. vlll. 20. R. V., "To the law and to the testimony, If they speak not according to this work It Is because there Is no morning for them." The Scriptures are the only Infallible guide, aod our Lord said that when people err it Is because they know not the Scriptures nor the power of God. The professed messengers of God will, if they are true messengers, carry only the Lord's message; otherwise they propheta of the deceit of their own hearts, and the Lord never sent tbem (Jer. xxlil. 21-29). The devil does certainly hate the word of God. and so be stirred his followers at Tbessalonlca to , go to Berea and oppose the servants of tbe Lord there. This resulted In Paul going on to Athens, while Silas and Timothy abods for a time at Berea until Paul sent for them te come to him with all speed. The devil's hatred of God and His word is very manifest from Gen. U, 2, 4, en ward, and I have no hesitation in raying that all opposition to and destructive criticism of the word of God today are ■wholly of the dwvfl. Contrast Ire. Ixvi. "
