Fall-Sowing and It's Many Advantages
Practical Directions.

Practical Directions.
I have for years past adopted fall
sowing as in every way preferable to
spring sowing, and the seed is sown
alone and without any foster crop to
rob it of food, light and air in return
for the very questionable shelter at
forded. Shelter is required only when
the seed is scattered on the surface and
not covered with soil, and the weak
rootlets are sprawling on the ground
in the effort to find place to enter,
and the tender seed leaves are waiting
for the roots to get into the soil to feed
them. Then one days hot sunshine
upon the unprotected rootlets kills
them, or few dry days cause them to
perish, and the disappointed farmer
finds s'the seed has failed to catch.
On the other hand, when the seed y
properly covered in the fine rich, mel
low soil, the roots find their way to
their food at once. and being well sup.
piled with moisture, dry weather ana
hot sun don't hurt them.
An oat or rye stubble may be pre-
pared for grass sowing as follows;
