SEEDING QUESTION.

DEAR RURAL: As my name has
appeared in your last issue as being
in favor of & very shallow covering
with the sccdcr, I will give you my
experience in the matter. / think
that one inch of earth or less is better
than any deeper covering. would
ask any farmer ii he ever saw any
good wheat grow III the middle of q
land, called q dead fulrow. Where
you SOW wheat as other small grain
and drag across the dead furrow you
cover the grain from 4 to 5 inches
deep. Now, you examine all the
small spears OF wheat and you will
find that they are the ones that are
buried deep in the groond, and al
the large heads are the ones that lay
the nearest to the top Of the ground.
My way Of seeding is, on old ground
to cross drag before you seed and
then set the seeder so that it will put
it iii just as shallow RS possible. On
new breaking I drag before seed
and then I set my seedcr so that it
will SOW just as deep as possible.
You cannot get it in any too deep
on new breaking.
| tlo not think that you can SOW
any kind OF small grain any too ear
ly in this soil after the ground be-
comes suitable for seeding. I don't
think any one ought to SOW any
kind OF grain until the frost is out
enough 50 that you will not strike it
with the see<!er. / commenced last
year Oh the 3ti, day of April to SOW
my barley and it yielded AZ bushels
to the acre. This is the rule that I
shall adopt this season and / invite
all that can to come and inspect my
crops Us they are progressing.
would like to hear from some
one that has had experience in deep
seeding in this soil. L. A. P.
