the June grass 011 this land?. I Itaye a
good crop,of beets on this land eeven
• years ago, After the beets e had
• oats, but they grew rather too rank
, and lodged, thereby killing out part of
the seeding which c,aiised the June
• grass to take a start and it has been
left in that way ever since, so that
' it is now atinost a solid June grass
sod. NOW •if you believe that buck;
wheat would grow on WO land then I
would like to know what kind of buck-
wheat to get and how much to sow
per acre.
- Answerve-The-ioil that you-•deseribe
shouid produce a rank growth of buck-
wheat. The crop, however, is better
•Suited to a clay loam. If you seed
buckwheat on this soil, it should make
