Cooper, June 2.---l^ord has been

pounds per acre. If soy beans or cow-
peas are sown broadcast, about a
bushel per acre is recommended; and
these legumes in three foot rows re-
quire eight to ten pounds per acre
as their rate of seeding.”
It is essential that these feed crops
be sown broadcast or in rows on the
stubble as soon rs passible after
small grains are cut, according to Mr.
Short. If broadcast, the seeds must
be covered at once with a disc har-
row, after which a roller or planker
drag should be run over the land to
hold the moisture. If planted in rows
Mr. Short suggests that an ordinary
planter with a solid sweep with buz-
zard wing attached, be used to open
the furrows on the stubble, ao that
it will cut the weeds and stubble
away from the furrow where the
seeds are planted. A* soon as possible
after planting, the rows should be
plowed out with a cultivator.
