Carrot seed, if sown when the soil is cold, germinates slowly, so that it is best 
to allow the warm spring weather to have set in before sowing. When sowing be 
careful to roll the di ills, or in some way " film " the soil round the seed.^fFour 
pounds of seed will sow an acre.

While strongly advocating the growing of Corn and the Silo system, it is a fact that manv 
sections of the Dominion are better adapted for growing roots than Com, and even where ■i 
Corn can be successfully grown we advise the sowing of roots aswell. Both are h«sf 'nZ
