Fall Wheat and Fail Rye
Varieties.—DaWeon'e Golden Chaff,
Arnerioan banner end Amerioan Won-
der are high yielding varieties, Where
these cannot be obtained ee0nre hard-
iest fall variety available, For supply
of seed note advertisements in farm
journals or communicate with the Seed
Branch, Department of Agriculture,
Ottawa.
RYE,—Fall rye is hardier then fall
wheat and for this reason can be sown
profitably later in the season, on a
greater variety of soils and under more
severe Climatic ooll(litiOns.
While rye does best, like wheat, on
well drained loam or Olay -loam soils,
it will produoe fair yields on lighter
sands and looms, On very fertile soils
rye is likely to lodge and 1011 produce
little grain Under enolt oiroumetanc-
ea,and ff the district is suitable for
the growing of fall wheat, it would be
advisable to sow wheat rather than
rye.
Otherwise the method of seed -bed
preparation for rye is similar to that
outlined for wheat. The rate of seed-
ing is usually from 1'`s to 2 bushels per
acre. The comeion fall rye is the
only variety available which can usual•
ly be secured from most seed mer-
ehante.
Thera io yet time to prepare the land
for fall sown mops such es wheat or
rye, The fulloWing suggestions are
based ou crop and soil experiences at
at the Dominion Experimental Forms
and Stations In the Eastern piovinoee.

would be a very useful article, being a
"planner of controlling and supporting

consists of a wheel to be attached to
the lower part of the gate, The whee
runs along the ground and in this way
supports the weight of the gate, It is
attached neer the end of the gate fur
theet from the hinges, but does no
come beyond the edge of the gate. In
addition to supporting the weight of
the gate the device also provides for
fastening the gate et any point eo that
the gate will not blow open or strut,
