The Huron Expositor, 1875-04-16, Page 6a 41. Sowing Given Seed. At this seamen of the year the ohl ques-- tion recurs, how'much clover seed shall we sew per are? Opinions vary wide. 1y among practical farmers on this. gun- . tion, but the prevailing idea seems to be that as much as five or six -qtiarts per 'acre is needed, and it is better to be sUrc. sto have enough if it -takes a peck per aere. ' Some of our best farmers vvould not think of sowing less than a peck, and they always get a good "catch." A -successful farmer in this neighborhood tells me that he only sows two quarts per acro; but he grows a good deal of clover, and often lets the second crop with seed lie on the ground till plowed ia Spring. In this way his laud is filled .'" with clover seed, and every plowing i brings a UAW era with fresh seed to the r surface. Going over his wheat last July I found the clover rather thin, and on inquiry learned, that the field had not beenrecently clovered. If it had been the two quarts of seed sown per acrei with what WAS already in the ground, would have been sufficient Where clov- er has not been grown'eight quarts per acre should always be sown. Clover is costly seed, but the amount needed is go small that the cost per acre imi not - great,. and the difference between good or poor seeding will tell on the crops for years to come. To immure urtiformity of • distribution there is nothing better than Cahoon's broadcast seed sower'ueing it either with or directly, against the wind, ' or, better still, selecting h perfectly still day for !mowing. When sown by hand there are apt to be strips across the field where seeding halm failed, whilesome parts May be too thickly seeded. A table published in the Agricu/tura/ '.4nnual of 1869, gives the approxiiriate number of ileeds in a pound of clover seed at 249,600. This would allow near- ly? six seeds to a square foot if evenly distlibuted. There are two r pounds to a quart, so that a seeding of one peek per acre would allow about 100 seeds per square foot. Too much, many will say. But probably a large proportion Of these will fail to grow. Some may 4)l1. on stones, some may be covered by a ,liemivy clod, while thousands start to groie*t; and faillto get root before dry weather, in spring, or the heat of stuniner causes the /pas tender plant to perish. - A great deal of Aft. young clover is 'killed by spring froets. tion Every one heti,noticed how untimely hen frost will blackin clover leaves,, almost and . as readily is it will potatoes. The root thus is more hardy ; but in very young cloy- and er the entire plantisstem and leaves. For Many fields bad their seeding. destroyed beet last spring by cold weather in April, and to 1 on some, where this was discovered bere in season, the fields were harrowed and a second seeding given, which took ' well. f , Most farmere like a little timothy with clover, and if intended for hay it is pro- bably 'better to have fit mixture.
