corn and potato ground to herds grass seed
in the fall. and sowing the clover seed in
the spring on the snow crust, with sure
crop. Thinks we should guard against in
sects by enriching the land.
Mr. 4 Norri. said that from observation
he was satisfied that as to the proper guam
titv ofseed much would depend upon the
season. rs some years in wheat, one bush
el would be as good as two at other times
the grain branching out more or less.
Also breaking up-ploughing in August
not requiring as much seed as spring break
ing.
Mr.. Courser Of the Hayden farm said he
had sowed bushels Of oats and harvested
40 bushels, but the past year he sowed 6
bushels per acre and harvested 80; thinks
6 bushels seed oats little enough per acre,
but did not know but bushels would have
been as well. He was satisfied from ex-
pertinent that one-half bushel of mixed
grass seed was about the thing for an acre
ofrich land
