SEEDING 
RATES 
Information 
“Successful Farmers Recommend Heavy Seeding." The right 
quantity differs in different sections—depends on location and 
nature of soils. Spare seeding is not economical. Best qualities 
of seed are cheapest in the end—extra cost per acre is small and 
results more satisfactory. Table suggests quantities per acre that 
may be of help.
