TILLAGE AND ROTATION EXPERIMENTS AT NEPHI, UTAH. 21 
SEEDING WINTER CEREALS. 
Four important factors related to the seeding of winter cereals, 
namely, the time, depth, method, and rate of seeding, have been 
rather extensively considered in the experimental work of the Nephi 
substation since its bcsrinning. All these factors are interrelated and 
are so regarded 
in ordinary farm practice, but at Nephi each has been

6 feet of soil, as found in the summer-cultivation tests of fall-plowed fallow at the Nephi substation,

Time of Seeding Winter Cereals. 
The experiments dealing with the time of seeding winter wheat 
have been in progress since 1903. During that time winter wheat 
has been sown each year at a uniform rate of 3 pecks to the acre on
