So,cing Winter Wheat IN Drills We have
over and over again recommended that wheat be
sown in drills for gets better crop in so do
ing, and it is much less likely to rust We have
usually recommended that these drills should be
six inches to one foot apart but we are not sure
where it is especially liable to rust, that from one
to two feet may not be better. An experiment was
lately tried in Australia of sowing wheat in rows
three feet apart 1t yielded Al bushels to the acre.
and no rust or mildew appeared on it !; while, in
the adjoining fields, sown broadcast or in quite
close drills, the yield was not great and more or
less rust appeared Will some of our wheat
growers make some experiments in sowing patch
es of wheat side by side, this faI-some broadcast
and some in drills from six inches to three feet a.
part, and give US the result of their experiments
We need not add that these experiments should be
made with the same kind of Seed sown on the same
kind of soil, and treated in all other respects as
nearly alike as possible.
