Sowing Grain In California.

Others, and among them not few of the
most progressive farmers, rig a seed
sower behind their plows in such way
that, although they plough from eight to
ten inches deep, yet the grains OF wheat
fall Just in time to be caught by about
two inches in depth of the lap OF the
turrow. The writer saw some large
fields near Woodbridge which had been
treated in this way. and t was the pret
tiest sight imaginable. The long rows
extended in straight lines across the
fields, evenly and in fine state OF
growth. In ordinary seasons it is not
considered necessary to harrow after
sowing in this way if it is on summer
