Sowing Grass Seed. It has been the general practice with farmers of this country to 

 sow grass seed with some kind of grain, preparing the land especially for the grain crop, and 

 with the exception of covering it in the process of covering the grain, to make no provision 

 for the crops of grass the land is expected to produce. Although by this means the land 

 may be utilized to produce two crops at the same time, and labor saved, yet we think it far bet 

 ter and more economical in the end, to sow the grass seed separately, thus giving it a fair start 

 and insuring a good crop; besides the practice of sowing together results in injury to both crops.
