I once took t~e pain1:1 u10st carefully to examine and note this peculiarity. I selected -;.t ¥mall s~u~rc of gro;i.nd in a. wheat field for the e:Xaminat1ou.

'Ihe experiment :"'as further tested by drilling a. small pieci:i in the sa.me field, as a comparison. I becmne, by this exporiment, ~ fhm convert to drilling wheat, When the same seed, sown in the aame landa was ilrilled, about two and a inches deep it airiiost a.11 can1e up alilce.
