METHODS OF CULTURE 170. Seeding. — The cultural methods for rye are very similar to those described for wheat, and need not be repeated again. Rye may be seeded somewhat earlier than wheat, as it is less troubled by the Hessian fly. It is desirable to seed rather early if the crop is to be pastured in the fall. It may be seeded in the standing corn before cutting, or the seeding may be delayed until after the corn is in the shock. Sometimes rye is seeded in the corn at the time of the last cultivation. However, usually not much is gained by seeding as early as this, since the plant will make but little growth until the corn ripens. The usual rate of seeding is from to 2 bushels per Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Livingston, George.
