Where a variety and choice of soil is at command, select 
that which is rather light for this crop. It must, however, be 
thoroughly enriched. As early in the spring as the ground 
ean be properly cultivated, lay out the drills for the seed 
about a foot apart. Sow the seed thinly, covering to a 
depth of 1 inch; when large enough to handle, thin out the 
plants to about 6 inches apart. 
1 oz. to 50 feet of drill, 5 Ibs. to the acre in drills.
