PLANTING SORGHUM SED.-A majority of
those who write or talk upon this subject, adj
vocate planting cane seed very shallow, not
more than an inch; some say half an inch,

surface. If it were common for the majority
to be right upon any question, we might have
some confidence in its verdict upon this, but
it is conspicuous fact that the majority is
generally wrong in its first conclusions. With
reference to the planting of cane seed, 1t Is

plant shallow-very shallow perhaps; but if
