WHEAT. 



CniiTUBE. — The best time to plant wheat in the Southern States is from the middle 

 of October to the middle of December. The aim in any locality is to give the plants a 

 chance to get well established before freezing weather sets in. Seed should be drilled 

 in rathei than broadcasted. The "open furrow" system for planting oats will answer 

 splendidly for wheat. 



Use commercial fertilizers, at seeding time 200 pounds acid phosphate, 50 pounds of 

 muriate of potash, 350 pounds cottonseed meal per acre, followed by 75 pounds nitrate 

 of soda in the spring, about 10 days before time for first heads to appear. In seeding 

 early use 1 bushel per acre. In late planting, say after November 15, you had best use 

 from 14 to V2 bushel more seed.
