depth of eawing reeds. "Bow ereds at a depth no greater than two to ifour time* their diamrter". In early spring when soil moi*, tore is high, seeds are beet sown in the upper and drier layer* at soil. A* the season advance*, the soil moisture content great y dec reales -o that deeper eowing is advisable and. as a matter of fact, is essential for reasonably good germination. In other word*, while the rule-nf-the-thumb given generally applies, sow your seeds generally deeper a* the season advances. However, it ia an easy matter to regulate the depth of your furrow* with your hand-plow which simply is drawn through the roil. We must be earefu! in placing seeds m the furrow to he certain that they are eveniy spaced and not 1 dropped in pile* Also important is the marner in which thev are covered with soil. Thia is best are ccmplished with the aid of your roller-rakr. Pull the loose soil lightly over the seeds, being certain that there are no large lump* alowed to remain. Next firm the -soil about the seeds. This latter ia very important and must be done with ears which, I am afraid, ia not alway* the rase The amount es firming is largely dependent upon the amount of moisture in the toil. In other words, if the soil has above normal moisture for the sowing of ereds, firm it only lightly. Otherwise a hard crust may be formed through which the seed may be unable to penetrate or •t least to do so only with diffieul- , ty. This it especially true if your soil has a high clay content. Seeds sown and covered, it is well to keep an eye «n "the coming gem eration". Should a hard crust form where tha soil has been firmed, it ahould be broken with • rake, threeprorged cultivator, or similar soilcare tool, taking ears*that the young seedlings are not severed • and thus prevented from growing.
