3. Plow deep and subsoil all wheat-lands, except those on a gravelly or
sandy bottom.
4. Plant wheat from two to six inches deep, according to the texture of
the soil--deepest on the lightest soil. Roll after sowing, and roll
light lands with a heavy roller.
5. Always get your wheat in early, and in a finely-pulverized soil, and
be careful not to seed too heavy.
6. Sow seed that has not long been grown in your vicinity, and steep it
two days, before sowing, in a brine, with as much salt as the water will
dissolve, sifting fine, fresh lime over the wet grain, after removing it
from the brine; put on, also, plaster-of-Paris or wood-ashes.
