DRY-FARMING 



serious mistake of sowing too much seed 

 per acre. The experience of the most 

 intelligent farmers shows that by sowing 

 thirty to forty pounds of wheat per acre 

 in the fall better results will be obtained 

 than with more seed." In short if the 

 farmer has carefully selected his seed and 

 properly tilled his ground, he will usually 

 find that from two to three pecks of seed 

 are ample for semi-arid lands.
