Forty-eight pounds to the bushel. One bushel per acre. 
The value of Barley for winter pasturage has not been generally 
recognized, but many Southern dairymen have adopted it as one 
of their main crops for this purpose, using it also for hay. If 
intended to be cured for hay, the head should not be allowed to 
form. Sowings are made both in spring and fall. 
Bearded. 
A few days earlier than Beardless, but should be 
used only for grazing or grain. (Write for prices).

hot weather buckwheat is liable to blight, and the seeds should 
not be sown in the latitude of Norfolk before the middle of July. 
It may be sown either in drills or broadcast.

with Winter Rye, its adaptability to almost 
all soils and situations being enough to make 
it a universal favorite. Inexpensive, very pro¬ 
ductive and of remarkable nutritive value, it 
can be used to advantage on every farm where 
stock is kept, and we strongly recommend 
that all unused land be covered with rye dur¬

among the best green manures, and is very 
largely used for that purpose.
