tas in the Salvation Army cam
paign and others are within strik-
ing distance of their mark, while
the city campaigners report slow

ADVOCATES FALL SEEDING TO
INCREASE YIELD OF LAND

Fall seeding as means OF increas-
ing the yield of land in the Lynden
district is advocated by E. B. Stookey
agronomist expert of the Western
Washington Experiment Station al
Puyallup.
Says Mr.. StoOkey:
Fall seeding has proved to be good
practice where 1t is feasible. Es-
pecially is this true on upland soils
or on soils which are not subirrigat-
ed. On such soils it reduces the
chance of crop failure and even under
normal conditions insures larger
yields. The increased acreage seed
ed to wheat in Western Washington
this spring would have produced o
much greater yield had it been seed
ed last fall. Well-drained land that
is to be put in wheat for next year
should be seeded this fall.
On all soils that dry out badly dur
ing dry weather, fall seeding should
be practiced as much as possible

Spring seeding will give very salts
factory results if it can be done ear
ly or if there is sufficient summer
rainfall, but there is always the pos
sibility of not being able to seed ear
/ ly in the spring or that the summer
rainfall will be insufficient.
Crops such as oats, peas, and bar
ley should be spring seeded, and all
crops which are damaged by frost
must of necessity be seeded in the
spring. Fall-sown peas and oats will
often winter over nicely, but the
yield is less than from early spring
seeding. Barley does not generally
winterkill to any great extent, put
most common varieties mature be-
fore favorable harvest weather pre-
walls
/ Wheat, rye and spring vetch al
most invariably yield better from fall
than from spring seeding. In the
case of wheat or rye it is advisable
to secure good winter varieties. Onl
one type of common spring vetch is
at present on the market. These
crops seeded alone or in combine
tion may be used for green feed. 81
lage, hay or grain. Rye is early and
in combination with vetch can best
be used for early green feed, hay,
silage or grain. Winter oats and
spring vetch are ready for green feed
after rye and vetch and before wheat
and vetch. This combination is used
considerably for green feed and is
not uncommonly used for silage. tho
wheat and vetch will generally yield
more and they mature more nearly
at the same time.
When these crops are sown for ear
ly green feed or silage, special effort
should be made to get the seeding
done as early in the fall as possible.
When seeded for grain the best seed
ing time has APPARENTLY been during
the fore part of October, altho seed
| ings made as late as the latter part OF
December have made much better
showing than spring seeding. Fall
seeding, even tho it cannot be done
as early as desired, is to be strongly
recommended.
The varieties and rates Of seeding
found best at this station are as fol-
lows:
Rye and Vetch. 60 to 80 pounds
of winter rye and 25 to 35 pounds OF
spring vetch.
Oats and Vetch. 60 to 80 pounds
of Gray Winter oats and rs to 30
pounds of spring vetch.
Wheat and Vetch. 60 to 80 pounds
of Red Russian wheat and rs to 35
pounds of spring vetch.
Glover and grass seeding in the
fall is desirable on soils that do not
heave badly, if the seeding can be
done during September. While later
seeding may be successful there IL
quite a possibility of the clover win.
