oats are good for this purpose In
case a good stand OF alfalfa is not Sc
cured from the spriag seeding. anoth-

after disking the ground. However, If
there is limestone in the soil not too
far from the surface. and you use
lnoeulated seed, a good stand should
be obtained from the spring seeding.
The seeding should be made quite
early.
