FIRST-YEAR TIMOTHY. 
In Clay County in northeastern Arkansas many farmers prepare 
their land for timothy as they would for wheat, and sow it alone. 
(Fig. .22.) This means considerable work, but the farmers say they 
get a better stand and a better crop. They let it stand several 
years, hence the work for succeeding years is only the work of har- 
vesting and is shown by the solid black on the first-year timothy 
chart.
