3 — Seeding rye grass 10 lbs. and red clover 10 lbs. with 



nurse crop on first year after hoed crop. 

 4 — Seeding rye grass 10 lbs. and red clover 10 lbs. alone 



after hoed crop. 

 5 — Seeding rye grass 10 lbs. and red clover 10 lbs. with 



nurse crop on first year wheat stubble. 

 6 — Seeding rye grass 10 lbs. and red clover 10. lbs. alone 



after first year wheat. 

 7 — Seeding rye grass and red clover with oats to cut green 



on first year wheat stubble. 

 8 — Seeding rye grass 10 lbs. and red clover 10 lbs. alone 

 on first year wheat stubble, manure 8 tons per 

 acre, ploughed preceding fall. 

 9 — Seeding rye grass 10 lbs. and red clover 10 lbs. with 

 nurse crop on second year wheat stubble.

after second year grain (oats). 

 11 — Seeding rye grass 10 lbs. and red clover 10 lbs. with

 For this work, 55 plots are required, 5 groups of 11 each. 

 Each plot is left at least 2 years in grass, excepting plots 9 

 and 10, and is left long enough to permit of the right point 

 in the rotation being reached to allow seeding according to 

 directions, the object being to try methods of seeding, regard- 

 less of other considerations. All plots in any one range to be 

 seeded down the same year. 



Barnyard manure is applied autumn of first year in grass, 

 12 tons per acre. 

 Rotations followed in seeding to Grass and Clover 

 Experiments. 

 Since the rotations necessary to follow to bring each plot 

 into proper shape for seeding to grass must vary, the rotation 

 for each plot is given below. All rotations will be of five years' 

 duration. All grass seeding to be done on one range each year. 

 Seeding to Grass and Clover Rotations.
