the later sowings yielded best In
1909 wheat sown the first of October

produced thirty five bushels per acre

teachers in this line of work will find
the opportunity awaiting them when

The great problem of education in
these days is to fit young men and
women to bear responsibility by giv
ing them accurate and technical
knowledge of the problems they must
afterward meet They need sufficient
general training so that they will not
look upon these problems from too
narrow or biased a viewpoint They
need to learn that education means op

FOR WINTER WHEAT
North Plaite Experiment Station
For the last seven years the experi
mental farm at North Platte Neb has
been working on the problem of grow
ing winter wheat by dry land methods
Their average yield during all these
years has been good if we do not in
clude the drought year of 1911 Even
this year was by no means a failure
though it would hardly be considered
a profitable crop The six year aver
age including 1911 was forty one
bushels on summer fallowed land
while it was only sixteen bushels on
land not summer fallowed The yield
for 1910 on the summer fallowed land
was from thirty bushels to thirty two
bushels per acre and for 1911 wa3
from nine and four tenths bushels to
seventeen bushels per acre Land
not summer fallowed produced no crop
of winter wheat in either 1910 or 1911
at the North Platte farm In fact the
drought was so severe this year that
all small grain crops were destroyed
in this region except upon land where
moisture conditions were specially
favorable One difficulty with the
yields of this wheat was the protract
ed drought which extended over two
seasons and prevented the storing of
tne normal amount of moisture even
on the summer fallowed land
The rainfall for 1910 was but 107
inches most of it falling in light show
ers which was soon lost by evapora
tion However there were several

bushels to 163 bushels
In general it can be said that
where the ground is too dry to sprout
the wheat sowing should be delayed
until late iin September or perhaps to
Oct 1 in the hope of securing rain
before sowing It is doubtful if seed
ing should be delayed later than this
if it is to be done at all since wheat
which makes a good fall growth al
ways goes into the winter in better
condition than where growth is small
and the roots of the wheat are unpro
tected by the top
If land is plowed early and well
worked down it will seldom be neces
sary to wait beyond Sept 20 for seed
ing Where the surface is dry for the
top four inches a roller may be run
over the land to compact it and this
followed by tlie press drill This will

how it foil It is a matter of common
observation that an inch of water
falling at ono time and falling slowly
so that it can get into the ground Is
of far mere benefit to the farmer than
the same amount of water distributed

MADE AND WATER
OPPLY FOR HOGS
By E A Burnett Nebraska Experi
ment Station
During the hot dry weather of the
last few weeks the question of shade
and water supply for pigs has been
very important
The pig should have clean pure
water where he can drink at any time
of day This water should not be too
far from his shade as the pig will not
leave a shade to go forty rods to
water even if he is suffering for want
of it
Where the farmer has a water sys
tem he should have built one or two
cement troughs for hogs Make them
one foot deep sixteen inches wide
and about six feet long inside

CEMENT WATER TROUSH
ure Set a plank in the top of this
trough even with the top of the ce
ment and cut two holes each six
inches square in this plank one near
each end of the trough Fasten a
board float under each of these open
ings to keep the dirt out To regulate
the water in this trough set a barrel
In the ground a few feet away from
the trough and put a float valve in the
barrel adjusted to the desired length
The pigs can come here and drink at
any time To prevent making a mud
hole from any little water which may
run over build a cement platform
about eight feet square around the
trough These troughs can not be
used in winter but for summer they
are unexcellnd They are cheap a
farmer can make them himself Place
them near a natural shade or build a
shade of boards near them A flat
roof three feet from the ground and
fourteen feet square will do Try it
Fruit growers and stock raisers are
learning the value of neighborhood co
operation Eventually there will be co-
L operation in many more lines of farm
ing Then there will be no trouble
about having good roads and schools
