drill; eight to ten pounds per acre. Sow early for spring 
crop; in August for fall use; and if sown from the middle 
to last of September, and protected during the winter 
with a light covering of straw, it will be ready for use 
very early in the spring.

mended, especially for sandy soils. 
During warm weather, germination may be greatly 
aided by firming the seed bed, and sowing the seed shal- 
low. Keep the soil moist until germination is completed.
