Grass Mixtures For Permanent Mowing 
Though many farmers so rotate their crops that permanency is not of great consideration, there are always locations

Hints on Sowing. Carefully prepare land. Pains taken before sowing will be amply repaid. Select a clear, calm 
day for sowing. Scatter the seed across the field in both directions to secure a more even distribution. Use a Gaboon 
Seeder if sowing large areas. (See page 167.) Its cost will be quickly saved. If seed is sown in the Spring it should \)c 
done early while the land is cool and moist. If in the Fall, as far in advance of frost as practicable. Remember that 
Clover seed is much heavier than other kinds of grass seed and will settle to the bottom in any mixture. If not carefully 
remixed before sowing it will be patchy. We recommend sowing 10 lbs. mixed Clover seed per acre in the Spring while 
the ground is honeycombed by frost.
