SUMMER AND FALL
Cop- Dressing and Seeding Down.

Many farmers are finding II 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 prac-
tice and seed down Ia the spring.
The same Is true regarding top
dressing grass land Some Of the
most progressive farmers put on
top-dressing Immediately after hay
ing, with perhaps "a small appllca-
tion of nitrate Of soda the follow
ing spring.
If you will send your name and
T.. o. address TO Carroll s. Page.
HYDE Park, Vt. he Will send you
free, several formulas for mixing
fertilizers especially adapted 10 top
dressing and fall seeding, together
with prices of ingredients, full diroc
tions for mixing, etc. These for
mulas have been approved by the
Vermont Experiment station and
will be found thoroughly reliable. ~
