The date Was May 11th. Now all au- thorititil Will concede that it is not safe to sow Wheat or any other kind of cereal after that date, unless it be bar- ley. In some years a good crop may be obtained, but the chances are all against it. The late season has been caused by, first, the unusual amount of snow and frost; second, by the phi.- Lon:lineal fild weather that prevailed during the spring months, and, third, by the unusual amount of rain that fell. which hindered the early tillage of th.. land. These causes no human fore- sight could prevent. But another cause was the small percentage of the land plowed In the fall of 1915. Human fore- sight and effort might in many instan- ces have prevented this. Since it did not, what is to be done? Why, the farihers after June 15th should not think of sowing or planting any other crops than barley or flax, corn ahd alfalfa. It is folly to sow other cereals after the date mentioned. One year in twenty Cereal crops sown later may succeed, but not more frequently. Barley may produce a reasonable crop sown after May 25th and before .Inne 1st, but not so large a crop a.s if sow!' earlier. But it brings with it the ad- vantage of aiding in cleaning the land when sown this late, providing the land Is again plowed as soon as the harvest Is reaped. The same is true of a crop of millet. With reference to corn, it usually (14:4441 well in North Dakota when planted about May 26th, but the re - ,jilts as • rule from corn plinitd this - Mite will be better from fell plowed than from, spring plowed land. The conclusion therefore is that after May 25th the crops that way be sown or planted of greatest promise are barley, millet and corn. To BOW other crops would be to invite the risk of failure. Under existing conditions why would it not be a good plan for the farmers its place. If that other crop, as for instance, millet, corn or alfalfa, can- not be planted on tine, then there is still a resource. That resource is the summer fallow. The summer fallow is too little in evidence in Montana. for the necessity for this was impressed upon the farmers in the first years of settlement. The aim should be where crops cannot be planted on time, to sum- mer fallow the 'land. Such a course will give no return for the current year, but it will bring an increased return In the years that will follow from the same land. The weeds of North Da- kota, in many plawes, are notorious. The beneficent influente to the farm- ers in reducing them by summer fal- low are too little understood. Suppose a piece of foul land is sum- mer followed. what will follow when it is plowed, say in June and packed which it ought to be in all dry areas! Why, weeds will grow and they will grow apace, if unrestrained. What are the restraining influences? Why, run- ning the harrow or the weeder over the land as soon as the weeds begin grow. tither implements, as the rod weeder are good. A flock of sheep giv- en free access to the summer fallowed land are excellent. The point to be empheeizeul here is, that the Dakota farmers should not ob- ject to the summer fallowing of land that cannot be planted in time. Such summer fallowing will in itself aid in cleaning the land. That will in itself promise marked increase in the crop of the following years. Will not that be much better In every way than low- ing crops out of season? What do the farmers say to this proposition!
