Herman Hodgson *‘The Insurance Man” The harvest is just beginning in South Huron and a little whegt was cut this week, Most of the farmers are slightly dis­ appointed in the wheat. The crop has ample straw, but the heads are nothing to blow about. Many were talking what a wonderful crop there would be ■to harvest but our guess is ave­ rage will be down 5-10 bushels to acre this year from rust and lodging. Many farmers are asking them­ selves whether to grow the crop again. The answer is “Yes, by all means.” Wheat is sometimes a headache to harvest, but this is counteracted by the slack time at seeding. As we have mentioned before, in this column, good crop rotation can do much to up the yield. The older gene­ ration, our grandfathers, working horses, plowed their older pasture fields in the late June and early July because the ground was usually dampened by showers then (this year, too) and they had a slack period in which to plow anywhere up to 10 or 15 acres on the bOO-acre farm. Believe it or not, this was almost a necessity. Sometimes the modern farmer horses, under the hoot?, .does not plan as carefully as his grand­ father had to. The old chaps though got the work done, and without commercial fertilizers grew some outstanding yields of wheat. They did it by judical use of manure and green crops and management. Now we are wondering if mod- , ern methods of farming are right or wrong. We do know-that too many wheat crops are being cashed. And they are not being cashed through livestock. Wheat today (at time of writing) is only worth $50 a ton, subject to grade and moisture Jess the cost of delivery. Where’s the proft? Forget the profit, it is not good business nor is it good farm practise. Wheat in comparison to corn as a feed is slightly higher in crude protein, slightly higher in carbohydrate (N-free extract) a little higher in fibre. Corn has a higher fat percentage of the two.

When the farmer combining the wheat leaves the straw in the field to be plowed down, experts claim that instead re- de- ofthe use corn? properly higher pro- improperly fer- Huron County Crop Report By G.

A were the county this week, humid weather this past has caused all of the grain crop to turn color more quickly than expected. Cultivated crops such as beans, sugar beets, white beans and more particularly corn have benefited from the warm weather and made excellent growth this week. Report From Edgewood By MRS.

This straw will improve the soil structure but poorly handled straw will cause nitrogen starva­ tion. It has been sug-gested that a nitrogen fertilizer should be applied at a rate to give the equivalent of 75 lbs. of ammon­ ium nitrate per ton of residue.
