A farmer writing to The Country
Gentleman disapproves of the practice
of drilling in grass seed with grain lie
says: The seeds are too unlike. y sin
gle grain of wheat weighs as much rs
twenty grains Of timothy seed. and will
grow when buried with three inches Of
soil as well As the grass seed when only
an inch down: the best depth for each
however, is about an inch and half for
the wheat and half an inch for the tim
othy, under ordinary conditions. No
common drill will plant grass seed even
ly at half an inch depth. Brushing it i'll
with smoothing or brush harrow is
the best we can do in common circum-
stances, a large portion Of the seed he
ing buried less than an inch. and small
portion of il. not being buried at all. may
not grow.
There will he another portion too
heavily covered with soil To- find its way
to the surface. but commonly about half
is brushed in and terminates. This is
better than seeding it down with the
grain when but little can ever reach the
light. To economic grass seed the
ground on which il is sown should be
specially smooth and level. for if ii j.
rough and cloddy tine small and delicate
seed will have a very poor chance. and
if the surface is uneven the seed viii b..
covered too deep at one place and too
shallow at another.
"A half peck Of grass seed. sown on
fine, smooth ground. rich and mellow
and sufficiently moist. will give a better
growth than bushel on hard. dry and
cloddy surface. but neither will make Il
sufficiently rich and dense growth of
grass. The best new grass field ever
had was when full half bnshel of
clover and timothy was sown on an acre
of well prepared surface. There were
no bare spots of earth on walking over
it, and at two cuttings it gave about five
tons of dried hay to the acre. The seed
was sown alone, not with grain crop
and was covered with light brush
harrow"
