82 FARM GRASSES OF THE UNITED STATES 
North Carolina Bulletin 108.—Sown in fall, it gives 
a crop of hay in May or June, but frequently does not 
survive the heat of summer. 
Tennessee Bulletin, Vol. IX., No. 2.—The best 
timothy lands in Tennessee are in the eastern valley, 
the central basin, and the northern and western coun- 
ties of west Tennessee. Adapted only to rich, moist,

border States. ) 
Kentucky Bulletin 87.—Excellent on good loam 
soils, Will not thrive on light loam. Very little after-

in the Blue-Grass Region, in the mountainous counties 
of the east, and on the strong alluvial soils of the ex- 
treme western part of the State.

“The only hay grass grown to any extent in the 
State.” 
In these border States and beyond them timothy 
succeeds only on rich, moist, alluvial soil. Even in the 
timothy region it is particularly adapted to this class 
of soils, but by no means confined to them. 
SEEDING 
In the heart of the timothy region it is usual to 
sow timothy with wheat in the fall, adding clover in 
late winter or early spring. ‘The usual amount of seed 
used is 8 to 12 quarts (12 to 18 lbs.) of timothy and 
about 8 Ibs. of clover. The timothy-seed is usually 
placed in a special grass-seed compartment of the grain 
drill. Some farmers allow the timothy-seed to fall in
