THE FARMERS HANDBOOK. 



A PLANTING TABLE. 



The great variation io the conditions under which crops are grown in 

 different districts and for different purposes, makes it impossible for a general 

 recommendation to be made as to the detail of the methods of planting and 

 the quantities of seed pt-r acre required. In the following pages an effort 

 lias been made to particularise this information to the districts previously 

 described in this calendar. It must be pointed out again, however, that 

 farmers who find that the conditions of the locality in which they are 

 situated, are not represented, should communicate with the Department for 

 advice.
