light (sandy loam is best, enriched the previous year with manure) and 
- deeply tilled. For an early crop the seed should be sown as early as the 
ground can be properly worked. For later crops it may be sown any time 
until about the middle of June. Be careful to compress the soil over the 
{ seed after sowing. Sow in rows about 15 inches apart, or for field culture 
= 1% to 2 feet apart, covering the seed about one-half to one inch deep.

leaving them about 4 inches apart.
