advisable if a good seed bed is provided and there is sufficient moisture 

 in the soil to germinate the grain and maintain it in good condition 

 until spring. 



Success with winter wheat depends very much upon the varieties 

 grown. As far as known, the Kharkof and Turkey varieties are 

 best for this region. Thin seeding is advisable. Tliree pecks of good 

 seed per acre are probably sufficient. 



Winter wheat should be sown with a drill, as in this way a better 

 and more imiform stand is secured. 



The Turkey and Kharkof varieties have great ability to recover 

 after a hard mnter. When damaged, good judgment should be 

 exercised before reseeding to spring grain.
