Show Date of Seeding Wheat and When to Harvest That the date of seeding wheat has little or no effect on the time of harvesting har-vesting Is the conclusion which may be drawn after looking over the seeding seed-ing and harvesting dates kept for the past 80 years on plots nt the North Dakota experiment station. In the years of 1S00, 1001, 1D0S, 192P nnd 1024 the date of harvest was Au gust 10. but the dates for seeding In those years respectively were May C, May 4, April 18, April 2G and April 22. In some Instances there was a variation varia-tion of a month in the date of seeding while in every Instance, the date of harvest came on the same date. Late seeding of wheat Is not advocated advo-cated by the station, however, as it Is usually followed by a short straw and a lighter crop, taking the weather conditions con-ditions Into consideration. |
