September gave an average yield of ?6.7
-bushels; . ight gown October, 5.15 ylelde I
uvtrago of 21.5 bushels; 12 sown in Nov-
ember gave average of 5.4 pushels of low
grade wheat. All these plats were sown
with the Red Russian variety.
Plowing in July gave average yield 6.3
bushels greater than plowing early in Sep-
tember.
Plowing four inches deep gave sightly
less yields then plowing eight inches d?ep.
No gain came from subfcoiiing land plow-
ed eight Inches deep.
Manuring with stable manure greatly
increased yield In aM cases. Four manur-
ed plats gave average yield of 27.5 bushels,
while four under like treatment except
with no manure gave average yield of
14.5 bushels. On an acre in wheat contin-
,y for four years, the half manured ir.
the fall of 1898 yielded at the rate of 30.«
bushels; the half unmanured 12.0 bushels
acre. Improving the physical condi-
tion of tho soil rather than adding plant
food is believed chief value of the manur-
ing.
Fifty-eight plats, Including every p'.at
on the farm except those sown late in tne
• on. gave an average yield of 22.87
bushels per acre, or about 10 bushfls more
than the average wheat yield of the Unit-
ed States for a series of y ars.
