Figs. 18 and 19.—The seeding of spring wheat bocomes general in southern SouthDakota usually about April 1 and in northern North Dakota about April 21, or some10 davs afterthe beginning date. In the Bic Bend and Palouse districts of easternWashington seeding is general during the first half of April. The usual duration of theperiod from bfginning to end of seeding is about 20 days in Nebraska, where the acre-age is small. 30 davs in northern South Dakota, and 35 days in northern North eastern Washington it is 30 to 40 davs. In the Dakotas and Montana seeding wheatrequires on the average a half hour of man labor per acre and two hours of horse amount of land that can be seeded is dependent not only upon the supply of laborand efficient use of machinery in fall plowing, and in the plowing and seeding after theland thaws out in the spring, but also upon weather conditions during both theseperiods. 20 Seedtime and Harvest.
