Safe Wheat date Not Determined; One Suggested No survey is being made this fall to determine a safe date for planting wheat to avoid Hessian fly damage. Therefore a guide for wheat growers to follow is the average fly free .late, which for Cass county is Sept. 28. There are other reasons why growers should not get in too big a hurry to sow wheat. First nf all with erood moisture condi- tions wheat seeded early can be. expected to make. a heavy top growth which wall use an unnec essary amount of soil moisture. Secondly, more chance of west ern streak mosaic, a virus dis ease, is apt to occur on early seedings. Journal Want Ads Pay Fouchek-Gamelf Lawyers Bonded Abstractors N T I ON 323 iS 1 ul
