The thorough preparation of tho toil beforo towing Is uioro necessary for wheat thln mo-t any other crop. All we can do to insure a fowl crop ends with the towing of the seed. C-illlvntt-d cropi may bo tlanted on n poorly prepared toll nnd by after cultivation the soil put lu order, Dut this cannot bo done with a wheat crop. Moreover, the greatest enemy of the wheat crop ll tho freezing nnd thawing of winter, and n veil prepared, pre-pared, compact seed lied cnnbles the wheat to root down In tho solid earth nnd bo less llablo to lie thrown out of the ground, and the rcry line, mi llow surfac pushes a quick growth, enabling tho plant to grow sufficient blade to furnish protection to tho root.
