The row runs north and south, and at
each a stake was driven. wire being
attached to each stake. The row was
about 100 feet in length, the wire some
two feet longer. In previous years
binder twine was used in place of wire.

the ground was first hoed up, then
raked. then one bushel of well rotted

In the middle Of the row. In this sand
the seed was dropped, being careful %

seed an inch apart. The seed were
then covered with manure frcm an
old straw pile to the depth Of an eighth
Of an inch: this pressed down, then
soil sprinkled over this. About half
as much soil as manure was used. The
