The disc drill places the seeds in the moist bot
tom of a freshly made furrow and allows the soil
to fall back at once, covering the seeds up. The
fields should be dragged at once to cover up any
seeds that are covered up by the drill. Dense,
moist, cool soil causes the grain to stool well, this
happens when the grain is planted early in the
spring. If the soil is an open drouthy, infertile soil,
warm weather and a short stoolmg season, a larger
amount of seed will be necessary. Poor soil can
not support heavy crops.
As a rule the following amounts of grain should
be planted: Wheat, five to eight pecks oats, two to
three bushels barley, one and three-fourths to two
bushels rye, one and one-half to two bushels
millet, two or three pecks flax, one-half to three
fourths bushels.
Dragging should be continued until the grain is
up out of the ground, wheat may be dragged after
it is out of the ground about two inchesset the
