Many farmers who seeded wheat
late or are still seeding aro wonder
ing what to expect in the way of
yields. Results on time of seeding eXc
periments at tlio U. of N. Agricultural
College at Lincoln. Indicate that
ordinarily wheat seeded during the
first two weeks of November may bo
expected to yield about three-fifths as
much as wheat seeded during the
latter part of September. Since in
many cases early-seeded wheat failed"
to come up or germlnater unevenly. It
seems likely that wheat seeded since
the rains may yolld nearly if not quite
as much as the late-seeded wheat
Spring wheat on the average does not
make a very satlcfac.tory yield in the
winter wheat belt and even tho late
seeded winter wheat may bo expacted
to be more satisfactory than spring
wheat. Wheat seeded during Hie first
of November should be seeded a peck
or more heavier than, early seeding
since It does not have time to stool as
much as earlier-seeded grain.

onuso thay have not boon properly
cooked nnd served. They need long
slow cooklngg oror boiling water or in
a flreloss cooker. Tho cereal may bo
cooked the night before, and rohoatcd
In tho morning In a double boiler or
by sotting in a pan of hot water.
Directions for cooking coreals: Stir
the coreal into tho right amount of
boiling water or tho tireless cooker
direct licit until tho cereal thickens,
stirring constantly. Then set Into
: boiling water or rtho tireless cooker
and cook as long as directed without
further stirring. Proportions are as
I follows:
Ono cup of cornmcal, C cups water,
1 to 2 teaspoonfuls salt, cook thrco
I hours.
1 Ono cup wheat preparations, 4 to 0
cups wntcr, 1 to 2 tenspoonfuls salt,

One cup hominy, b cups water, 1

nftor these pests have once tasted tho
' juicy bark. One rabbit can glrdlo a
I dozen trees a day unless precautions
are taken to prevent it. Rabbits at
, tack trees that 'are from ono to six
years old; mice injure trees of any
! age. It is better and cheaper to pro
jtect the tree trunks this fall than to
l try to save girdled trees next spring
by bridge grafting, is tho advice of
horticulture specialists at tho U. of
N. Agricultural College.
I Trees may be protected either by
painting tho trunks with concentrated
j lime sulphur solution or by placing
I some protector about tho trunk. Pro
) toctors may be made from poultry
wire, building paper, or corn stalks.
! .Patented protestors made of wood
1 Veneer or wire may bo secured on the
! market. Eighteen Inch poultry wire
with half inch mesh is very satisfac
tory and has the advantage of serving
for several years without being ro
i moved. Building paper, veneer and
' cornstalks, serve equally well but
: theso should be removed in the spring
i since they afford shelter for wooly

I Insects.
MIco will do very little damage
whore the above precautions are
taken but it is well to remove grass,
weeds and rubbish from around tho
trees so they will not bo encouraged
to build nests close to the trunks.
