To Obtain Best Results with Grass and Clover Seeds 
Have the ground thoroughly prepared. This is of the 
utmost importance to secure the largest and most suc- 
cessful crops. If the land is filled with weeds it is bet- 
ter to sow some grain crop or Millet to smother the 
weeds before sowing other grasses or clovers. Before 
grass seeds are sown, the ground should be thoroughly 
and deeply plowed, and repeatedly harrowed. This is 
more expensive, but the results will more than justify it. 
Where the land is in need of fertilizing, and there is 
very little that is not — 200 to 400 pounds of Raw Bone 
Meal or a good mixed fertilizer can be used when the 
seed is sown, either in the Spring or Fall. This will 
eliminate danger of weeds to a great extent. 
Seeds can be sown in the Spring or Fall. In the 
Spring, February, March and April are the best months 
in this section. Grass Seeds can be sown alone or with 
a grain crop. Sown alone generally give better results. 
Seeds can be sown with a Wheelbarrow Seeder, Rotary 
Seeder, by hand or a Grain Drill. For light seeds a 
Grain Drill or a Wheelbarrow Seeder is best. The 
Rotary Seeder for heavy grass seeds and clover. Best 
results are obtained from two way sowings, sow one 
half the seed crossing the field and the other half in re 
turning over the same space. 
Light grass seed should be covered very little. Clover 
seeds and heavier grass seeds >4 to inch. 
Grass seeds sown by hand or with a seeder should be 
harrowed and afterwards rolled. 
Watch your meadows, when a bare spot appears, more 
seed should be sown which will insure a more even 
crop.
