Farmers are still sowing wheat t^nd it is probably not,too late yet. Wheat has not grown very fast, but that which was sown early hi the season has has a chance to stool nicely. We, never had a better spring for small grains. Farmers tell us that as a rule small grain does not do as well on spring 'flowing and as on that which is plow crl in the fall. The spring plow'ntr does not have a chance to settle ard should be padked either with a reg ular packer or with a disc heavily weighted and set straight. A lit tit? extra work on anrfng plowing Is bound to pay. Farmers are learning more every day how hard it is to get good seed corn.

The dealer deserves credit for being strictly honest. Corn that tested fairly well early in the spring, later hi the season may prove to be hardly worth planting. THREE BIG SNAPS.
