Sowing Bronze Gra,,.

The amount Of bronze grass seed
to SOW In this country depends upon
number of conditions. II the soil Is
not In very good physical condition
more seed should be used than II the
soil is well prepared. However, we
must not expect to secure stand Of
bronze grass on dry land unless we
have a well prepared seed bed and at
that 1t may take year to germinate
fully and two or three seasons to
thicken up. In seasons with great
deal Of moisture We should use a
larger amount Of seed because the ex.
cess OF water would promote larger
growth. Taking 1t on the whole, we
should SOW from eight to fourteen
pounds to the acre. A depth Of from
one-half to one and one-half inche,
will not be too deep for the seed.

SOWING IN THE DRY AREAS
Drill System Of Seeding Puts Seed
Down Who're Il VIII Reach Mols-
ture and oermlnate.

Broadcasting seed may answer very
well In humid areas under certain con-
ditions. In dry areas, however, 1t
should be avoided. Unless the seed
goes down where is reaches moisture,
1t will not germinate. 1t cannot be
put down to an even or uniform depth
when broadcasred.
The drill has the following advan.
tases over broadcast sowing in dry
areas, says the Dakota Farmer. It
puts the seed down to where It will
reach moisture; that Is. when mois-
ture Is present. It is frequently pres
ent At a lower depth than would SUI.
nce for broadcast seeding. 1t dis
tributes the seed more uniformly than
would be possible when broadcasted.
1t presses the earth around the seed;
that 10, when press drills are used.
They ought generally to be 10 used.
1t calls for less seed than broadcast
sowing. The difference in favor Of the
former Is not less than say one peck
per acre. 1t puts the seed 30 far down
that the harrow will not take many of
the plants out II the work Is carefully
done. This Is not true of grain that
has been broadcasted. When winter
grain Is sown the depressions made by
the drill may to some extent tend to
protect plants from injury from the
winds. The difference between drill
sowing and broadcasting In such areas
may make the difference between sue
cess and failure In the crop.
The depth to which grain should be
planted is Influenced by the kind Of
soil. by the condition Of the soil as to
tilth. and by the moisture which 1t
contains Planting may be deeper In
sandy soil and In soil Of good tilth
than in heavy clays. But In any soil II
the seed is to germinate promptly, 1t
must go down to where the soil is
moist. 1t may be necessary In some In.
stances to plant wheat and other
grains as far down as four inches, but
less depth is better when the condi.
tions for growth are right. Fairly deep
planting. however. should be the rule
in dry areao. The plants are then more
safe from the injurious Influences Of
drouth.

MAYVMLE NORMAL

The fall term is closed and all is
quiet since the leaving Of the stu
dents. The winter term opens for
registration on Tuesday, Jan. 2. and
all classes win begin on the next day.
The enrolment this fall has been
much the largest in the history of the
school and the prospect for a large
increase after the holidays is very
good.
Attention Of prospective normal
students is called to our course for
those who wish to prepare for rural
teaching. The school has had a large
class in this course during the fall
term and new class in the work
will be formed on Jan. 2. This course
seems to be a step in the right di-
rection and all who can are advised
to enter for the winter term.
Several of the normal students took
part in the declamatory contest given
in MayviIle last Monday under the
auspices OF the w. C. r. u.
President Hillyer acted as a judge

The contractors are busy about the
normal in the finishing OF all construc-
ton work. This will all be completed
before the opening of the next term
and for the first time the class rooms
will be furnished with an abundance
of fresh warm air. The change will
certainly be appreciated.
