A half-fallow in favourable weather will, if kept rough as long as possible, kill the weeds and mitigate, if not altogether prevent, attacks by wireworm.

Recent develop ments in machinery have provided farmers with an effective means of speeding up autumn cultivation, and the best way of recovering the capital outlay involved is to keep the machinery going while the days are still long and the weather favourable.On typical wheat lands, more particularly those Of a heavy nature containing chalk, corn crops may be successfully repeated several times.
