t. Joseph County Has Largest

Acreage in Wheat for Summer Harvest That It Has Ever Had.

compiled by the rroj bur;ri fT the ; ri'Milt'iral department of the Vntlfl Stat- fchow th.it St. Joseph county wiU hae th- lares. in wh'it that it has evr hid. if the grain produces accor Jinj-r to the acreage put out. According to the report the county hi about 4 3,000 acres in wheat for the harvest n-xt summer while the normal acreage i.i about CO, 000 c r an Increase over normal aertaV tf Ü3 percent. Wheat at this time is in Letter condition th;in it h:m !i-rn during the past six years, according to County Ak'ent liordrur. lienor's

from the entire county confirm thi-j ttatement. Although March is a j critical month for w hf;it, it is tit- i

belief that little harm vhl come to the present pood stand. The reasons given for tho fine condition of the wheat crop at this time are- that the s t-d planted last fall was well tested before sowing, and a pood seed Led was laid. More fertilizer was used on wheat landn during the past -ar than ever before. Phosphate was used more than any other fertilizer. Smut Itiu Obstacle. Hmut Las bt en a ii' ob.-st.tib: which the farmer has h id to ,ntrr.d with, more during the p ast few years than ever before. Thtough treatments prescribed by the stat" agricultural department to this distructible disease much of this trouble has been eliminated throughout the county. The stmkin u' smut Is especially troublesome because of it.-i Injury to the quality of the ibur made from the wheat. Throuuh the air of the treatments ylven the trouble can be absolutely cherktd. Another troublesome op.ithn which the farmer has to rontend with la the Hessian t!y. The only

way to combat with this insect sow wheat late which was dop. ins the last sowing. The Worm and Stem Maggot are

rombatted by rotation of crops, by immer follow plowing or in the case of clover following wheat, winter burning of the infested .slubMe land. Climate and Soil l avorablc. The climatic condillons of northern Indiana, and for the tv.nst fart, the soils also, are fu. orable to the production of wheat of i.-u.-r than average quality. Am:nu tin hundreds of varieties that have be. a tested by the station at luirdue university are the Uudy, Red Wave. Michigan Amber. Farmer's Friend. Harvest Kins, Foole. Fultz ami Iti-T Tour. Iteporta show a --'Venter acreage of Hye ir. the county than ever before. The average acreage for O" canity in rye is 7.."ik acres w. V ihl year statistics show at least 1.t'OO arrea sown. The rye now used almost exclusively is Kosen rye. one formerly fron Russia which has only Leen grown in the t'nited States a few yearn.
