The object of thla new department Is to place at the service of our farmer readers practical and authori- tative information that will help them to secure the best'possible crops of every sort. Is your soil- as fertile as it should be? Does the Partial failure of eome crop puzzle you? Are you using the varieties of seeds best adapted to your soli and looailty? Would you like some practical and scientific advice on the adaptation and use of mar,ies? Are you losing hard-earned money through pest or blight? The expert advice of Professor Bell is made avail- able to you free of charge through this department. Professor Bell is particularly fitted for tine work, as he has made a life study of soils and crops. He Is a graduate of the Guelph •Agricultural College, and for t short time taught in that splendid institution. Front there he went to the Iowa Agricultural college as Assistant Professor of Farrn Crops, later on becom. Ing Professor of Agronomy at the University of Maine and Superintendent of the University Farm, He is the author of a large number of articles on agricultural subjects.

As space is limited It is advisable where immediate reply is neeessary that a stamped and addressed envelopedect.be enclosed with the question, when the answer will be mailed ir SPRING WHEAT HELPS Being the Second of a Series of Five Articles Specially Written by 0, Bell, Agronomist. Many farmers are just now bus- ily planning crop rotations and the definite arena of the definite crops which they purpose growing next summer. Not a few are consider- ing the question of spring wheat. Many of those ,who have not grown this ctap are studying the chances for possible returns for money invested in it. Those who have already grown acreages of spring wheat are interest- ed in any suggestions as to how the yield per acre can bo increased, es- pecially so under the present enor- mously increased demand for food cer- eals. Food must be produced in greater quantities in 1917 if ;levers shortage is not to be felt by a largo percent of society. There Is no ques- tion about it. The London Statist, in u recent issue declares that on ac- count of a shortage of feed, there is an under -supply of over a million pigs in the sties cf England, resulting in scarcity and .dearness of pork, bacon, harn and sausages. Even Ontario's figures show a relative shortage in the production of meat animals over years gone by. The shortage of food of every and all kinds must be felt, and everything that can be done to 8901 up the acreage yields of the food cereals will. accomplish just that much to help solve the great and general problem of food shortage. Ontario, with over 14,600,000 acres of cleared, cultivatable land, has an acreage of a little less than 110,000 acres of spring wheat. This is not one acre per farm. The yield of spring wheat over the whole province, varies between 18 and 19 bushels per acre. Now, there is reason to be- lieve that with a little expenditure of labor, and With a little careful plan- ning', it would be possible to consid- erably increase the acreage of spring wheat to the substantial profit of the fanner, and to tho benefit of the in, habitants of this province and to the whole Dominion. The following few suggestions are offered : (1) Get seed of a good variety, and then sow good quality seed. Possilaly no one in Ontario has a bettor speeific knowledge of relative varieties suit- able for growing under Ontario con- ditions than Prof. C. A. Zavitz of On- tario Agricultural College.

Its HALL, Preprietoa spring wheatthroughout the province of Ontario, comes out in favor of two varieties; first, Marquis, unci seeded; Wild Goose. When Marquis wheat Was tested out in 24 places in the province, it was found to yield a little less than 20 bushels per acre under actual farm tests. This variety was produced some years ago by Dr. Saunders of the Dominion Experimental Farms, •Ottawa. It is a comparatively short - season variety and produces graia of high -milling quality. Altogether it has proven one of the most popular varieties throughout the province. Farmers who wish to locate seed of .this variety will do well to write the Dominion experimental farms, Ot- tawa, and the Ontario Agricultural College, as well as to consult seed lists of well established seed compan- ies. In preparing the seed, the fanning mill should be used liberally. Fan out all the broken, light • ands .sliseased kernels and use .none but good sound material ford seed. Like tends to beget like if the plant kingdom just the same as in the animal kingdom. If you plant weak'immature seed, you handicap the future of your crop just as much as if you select the calves of weak immature -cows, and expect to build up a good healthy dairy. (2). The next point in increasing wheat yields is to look after the plant - food supply. The soil is nature's great store -house. It is from this that most of our farm crops get the feeds which build up wheat, oats, bar - hey, corn, apple; potatoes and other the temperature of the soil has plant products. In early spring, be. fore Increased to any appreciable height, the growth of the microscopic life in the soil, or bacteria, is very slow, and assostonsequence not much soil mater- ial Is broken down into such form that it will dissolve in the waters of the soil or the root juices, and can be tak- en up into the plant. It is just at this time that a little available plant - food gives the tiny sprouting seed a vigorous start, Making it possible for the resulting crop to reach out and make use of plantfood that to a weak- er crop would be unaveable, Two hundred to three hundred pounds of a well balanced fertiliser has been -know to increase wheat yields :%-em 40 to 60%. Not only does it increase the total yield, but it materially improves the quality of the resulting wheat. The fertilizes' should be of an analysis to Make up for the weaknesses of the soil, and to supply a proper balance of plantfood most needed by the crop. For instance, for a grain crop, the fertilizer should emphasize phosphoric igid, as well as supply a fair amount of nitrogen, s: ammonia, and potash. Necessarily, under present conditions, the supply of potash in fertilizers will be low, yet experiments of many of North American experiment stations have shown that material increases in crop yields have been brought Lbout by the judicieus' application of plant - food containing only nitrogen and phosphoric acid. Not only does the plantfood•improve the immediate wheat crop, but if the wheat is seeded with clover -and timo- thy, it almost insures a good catch of this following crop, It is significant to note, in connection with fertilizing wheat, that ip the state of Maine, where climatic conditions are some- what similar to those of Ontario, and Wi ere spriog wheat is grown in rota- tion with potatoes and clover, farm- , ees are getting n yield cxceeeding 26- 1 bushels per acre. There seems good reason to believe that if careful Re- tention is given to. soil prepeeation, balancing of plantfood and proper use of selected Aced., it, should .150 an easy matter to produce 25 to 80 bushels per acre of good quality spring Wheat ' in Ontnrio this coming winter.

This is found to be the case on such 'crops as cab- bages, tobacco, sugar beets, and the like.
