TESTED SEED.
Wheat and Grass Seed For Demon

Wheat is one of the most important
crops in Cecil county and as suitable
variety well adapted to the soil and eli
mate is necessary for the successful pro-
duction of this staple crop we are pleased
to know that Mr.. G. F. Marsh County
Agent has made arrangements throug h
Prof. Schmitz Of the Maryland Expert
mental Station TO supply sufficient seed Of
the varieties that have given the best re-
turns in his seed plots to SOW about
twenty demonstration plots Of one acre
each.
Mr.. Marsh would like to have these
demonstrations well distributed over the
county and we would advise all farmers
who are interested in this work to make
immediate application as the number of
demonstrations are limited and as far as
possible the wheat for the demonstration
plots will be given in the order that the
applications are received.
Mr.. Marsh would also like to arrange
for number of demonstrations in the
sowing of grass seed 10 the fall Demon
STATIONS not only in Maryland but also in
Virginia and Kentuckey have shown the
advantage of fall sown grass seed. In
this demonstration he would like the
farmer to go into wheat field that has
been seeded as soon as the wheat has been
harvested and plow and sow one acre
with mixture of timothy and clover,
when by comparing this acre with an ad
joining acre it will be readily see
whether this method Of seeding will give
more profit than the usual way of seeding
with the wheat crop. He would be glad
to have the names of farmers who would
conduct demonstration of this kind this
fall. A card addressed County Agent,
Elkton. will reach him without delay.
