DRILLING SAVES SEED.
Valuable Experiments at New Mexico
Stations.

That an immense amount of seed
is wasted by farmers because they do
not know how much to use. is we'll
known. To ascertain how far this
waste extends some valuable expert
ments have been made by the New
Mexico station.
IT was found that ten pounds of al
falfa seed put In with a drill in diff
| ferent kinds OF soil resulted in a bet
| ter stand than twenty pounds sown
broadcast. with same quality of seed.
In the drilled plots the young plants
were closer or nearer together and
We're no doubt able to assist one an
Other to some extent in pushing
through the surface crust. In this eX-
pertinent il was found that in clay
loan about half as many seeds were
required as We're necessary in very
sandy soil.
If the soil be fertile and other con-
ditinns favorable the following esti-
mates will be found to be as near COR
rect as il is possible to make them:
Wheat. three to five pecks per acre.
Corn, eight to ten quarts.
Oats. one and one-haf bushels
E<affir and Egyptian corns, six
pounds.
Buckwheat. one bushel.
Rye, three to five pecks.
Beans, one quart to 100 feet Of drill
or one and one-half bushels to the
acre.
Beets. two ounces to 100 feet of drill.
or six pounds TO the acre
Cabbage. grown in beds to trans
plant, nefourth pound to an acre.
Carrots, one ounce will SOW loo feet
of drill, or four pounds for one acre.
Cucumhers. one ounce will plant fif-
ty hills. or two pounds to the acre.
Lettuce, one ounce will SOW $50 feet
of drill.
Muskme1ons. one ounce will plant
fifty hills.
Watermelons. one ounce TO twenty
five hills, five pounds to the acre.
Onions one ounce for 100 feet of
drill. or six pounds TO the acre.
Garden peas. one quart will plant 100
feet of drill. or one and one-half BUSH
