this mixture gives best results. In
some places in the Middle West sweet
clover has given good results under un-
promising soil conditions. Accord
ing to the bulletin, no perennial
hay plants will produce we'll on poor,
sandy soil. Under such soil condi-
lions, however, some temporary crop,
such as rye or oats and peas, and.
along the Atlantic coast. early sof-
gllum and cowpeas, are preferable to
perennial hay crops.
The best temporary hay plhns are
the small grains seeded either alone
or in mixture with some legume, such
as peas, vetch or crimson clover. Mil
let's are sometimes used for this plir-
pose, as are sudan grass and coarse
forage, such as corn and sorghum. In
the northern states a combination of
oats and Canada field peas makes
very good hay crop. Excellent results
have been obtained in eastern Mary
land and Virginia with the following
mixture: Oats, bushel hairy vetch,
80 pounds; white-blooming crimson clio
yer, 10 pounds per acre.
In order to avoid losing the use of
land for an entire season, and to per-
nit late-summer and early-fall seed
ing, grass crops usually follow small
grains. The seeded should be pre-
pared as soon as possible after the
grain is harvested. AS q three-inch
mellow seeded with firm soil beneath
will give better results for summer
seeding than one that is deeper, the
disk harrow is usually used in place
of the pillow for preparing land for
grass. Most grass seeds are very
small and must have a fine, mellow,
well pulverized surface soil in order
that the seeding may become estab-
lished. A good seeded may mean the
difference between the success and
failure of the hay cop.
Use Too Little Seed.
Most farmers use too little grass
seed for best results, according to the
pared seedbed does not require as
much seed as thin land or land poorly
fitted. From 20 to 30 pounds of seed
per acre are generally sufficient, and
this rate is usually more profitable
than lighter seedlings of mixtures
,Small-seedcd grasses, such as redtoY
and timothy, do not require so heavy
seeding as orchard grass or rye grass
Usually 10 pounds of timothy or s
pounds of redtop are sufficient whel.
these are seeded alone.
In order that the seed may get &
good start, it Is frequently advisable
to apply some readily available fei
tilizer. Formerly the grain crop re
ceived the fertilizer, but experiment,
have demonstrated that when it is ap
piled to the grass it will not only in
crease the yield of this crop but frc-
quently show beneficial effects on sue
'ceeding crops for two or three years
Top dressings Of suitable manure will
increase the yield Of hay, and there
is probably no better crop than grass
| on which to apply it, A great dea
