QUANTITY OF SEED FOE AN ACRE. 
It is difficult to give a fixed amount of seed that should in 
all cases be sown on an acre of ground. As a rule, new ground 
requires more seed than old ground that has become fine and well

rether too thick than otherwise, for in that case the crop can be 
ihinned ; but if too little seed is sown, it cannot be remedied,
