growth will tend to smother weeds. The time to seed and the amount 

 of seed to use per acre depends upon the fertility and condition of the 

 soil and the climate. The amount to sow per acre ranges from two to 

 nine pecks, the usual amount being about five and one-half pecks. 



Roller and Harrow 



If the soil is light and not compact, rolling proves beneficial after sow- 

 ing. If straw, stubble or manure is well mixed with the soil and the cor- 

 rugated roller is run at right angles to the prevailing winds, it will pre- 

 vent, in a measure, the soil from blowing away or drifting. 



Culti-Packer: This Implement Is Invaluable as a Clod Crusher, Pulverizer and 

 Mulch Former 



If the soil is light and loose around the roots of winter wheat in the 

 spring, a corrugated roller will not only pack the loose soil around the 

 roots to the depth of several inches, but forms a shallow mulch which is 

 of material benefit in conserving moisture. Repeated experiments have 

 demonstrated that rolling winter wheat in the spring with a corrugated 

 roller, even when it is beginning to joint, increases the crop from ten per 

 cent to twenty per cent. If the ground is hard and weedy, and the 

 stand thin, a peg-tooth harrow or weeder is of great benefit.
