SUMMER AND FALL SEEDING
AND TOP DRESSING

Many farmers are finding it to
their advantage to seed down dur
ing the summer and fall, claiming
that by so doing they are apt to
get a much better catch" than
they do when they follow the
usual practice and seed down in
the spring.
The same is true regarding top
dressing grass land. Some OF the
most progressive farmers put on
top-dressing Immediately after
haying, with perhaps a small APP
plication of nitrate of soda the fol-
lowing spring.
If you will send your name and
p. o. address to Carroll S. Page,
Hyde Park, VT, he will send you
free, postpaid, several formulas
for mixing fertilizers especially
adapted to top-dressing and fall
seeding, together with prices of
ingredients, full directions for mix
ing, etc. These formulas have been
approved by the Vermont Expert
ment Station and will be found
thoroughly reliable.
