That Cultivated Wheat.
A delegation from Ilnirerstown, Md., of
practical farmers and gentlemen Interested
in agricultural developement arrived in
this city Monday, witb a view of visiting
the famous wheat fields of Levi W. Qroif
in Went Earl township, where his new
methods of cultivating wheat have pro
duced results that have attracted great at
tention throughout this district and have
drawn thither hundreds of curious specta
tors from all parts of Pennsylvania and ad
joining states.
The fields lie across the road from Mr.
GroiTs house and are three In number of
about ten acres each. At first view the
results of the new mode of cultivation are
not as apparent iu the distinctness of the
rows as might be expected, but a glnuce
at the tall and erect standing grain and
the well filled heads that would weigh it
down were it not so stiff iu the straw,
tolls the experienced farmer that a re
markable yield of wheat is before him.
Closer examinatiou of the field shows the
rows iu which it is planted and the spaces
between the standing grain very distinctly.
The first field was sown iu the last of Sep
tember. It is about ten acres in extent
and of rolling land sloping to the east. It
had previously been farmed in wheat and
the year before that in corn and tobacco.
Last year there were put upon the whole
field COO pounds of phosphate and about
23 bushels of tan baik ashes. The wheat,
of the amber variety, was sown, 1 i bushels
to the acre, with the drill, with Mr. Adam
13. GroiTs patents. The body of the drill
is that of the old fashioned implement ;
the tubes are placed eleven inches apart,
and the grain is distributed in rows four
inches wide. Au attachment across the
mouth of the tube scatters the grain and
constitutes one of the patents. The shovel
enclosing the tube is notably wide. The
growth of the wheat consequently is in
ridges four inches wide, and during the
fall and early spring the alternating stripes
of bare earth, eleven inches iu width, are
very noticeable. About the middle of
April the first cultivation of the wheat
occurs. This is done with the improved
cultivator. The tubes are removed from
the drill and barrows attached, the com
bination forming another of the Groff im
provements. Each harrow of the four con
sists of a group of three sharp teeth, the
middle one projecting, and so arranged
that they pass over the rows of earth be
tween the wheat, harrowing it thoroughly
without touching the growing grain. The
horses walk in the outside rows, just before
the extreme right and left Land hooks.
The second cultivation of the wheat took
place about the beginning of May. Im
mediately after this the cloverseed was
sown, and the youug clover now is very
well set in the ground, effectually disprov
ing the objection of the new method that
it prevents the free growth or sufficiently
early planting of the clover.
The next field is of the Clawson variety,
and was sown thicker, 2 bushels of seed
to the acre. The third was sown early in
October and is also of the Clawson seed,
sown about 1 bushels to the acre. Neither
of these is superior to the first, and this
experience has not demonstrated the ad
vantage of thick sowing. Indeed it was
the opinion of most of the visitors that a
sowing of a bushel, or at most five pecks,
to the acre would have beeu still more ad
. vantageous. Across the road is a little
patch of four acres of cultivated wheat,
sown much later, shorter in the straw but
well developed in the bead. Four quarts
of cloverseed to the acre here, sown after
the seoond cultivation, produced a beauti
ful crop, of clover, well set and regular.
This patch had been twice in corn and was
seeded without any fertilizer. A singular
fact is that the upper row of this patch is
several inches tailor and notably better
than the others, attributable to the freer
play of the air and sun upon it. If this
be the proper and it is the most reason
able explanation of this phenomenon, it
is a striking argument in behalf of the new
mode, the merits claimed for which are
that besides the beneficial effect of keeping
the ground around the roots well worked
up, free from weeds and loosened for the
moisture to penetrate it, the intervening
spaces allow the air and sun to play through
the grain to the great advantage of its
better growth.
A neighboring field of Dr. W. Rancke,
Mr. GroiTs son-in-law, was visited, and the
Grain there, which has been cultivated in
like manner, was found erect, long in the
straw, and if anything better headed than
GrofTs. . The entire fields present an ap
pearance of a wonderful growth, and while
nearly evoi y other tract of wheat on the
way is more or less lodged, that which has
been cultivated stands perfectly erect, and
from its appearance the expectations are
that it will average a yield of from 45 to 50
bushels per acre. Last year a single acre
treated in this manner yielding CI bushels
and next year Mr. Groff proposes to put
out five fields in wheat.
The theory of the new mode is as rea-
onable as its practical results are satis
factory, and while intelligent farmers vary
as to the rxient of the improvement,
next year we may look forau application of
the new mode on a very extensive scale.
