The following year oats were sown and two hundred pounds of fertilizer added per acre. Grasses and clovers were sown with the oats. The oats yielded thirty-six bushels per acre. With the oats were sown five pounds of Kentucky blue-grass, three pounds of timothy, five pounds of orchard-grass, two pounds of red-top and three and one- half pounds of common red clover per acre. This made a total seeding of 18^ pounds per acre. The cost for grass and clover seeds at prices. Fig. 160.—Unplozvablc pasture land in Franklin county.

This pasture was seeded in 1904. The writer visited the field in the summer of 1909 and found an excellent stand of all the plants which were sown. Red clover and orchard-f;rass were not so permanent at the others. Besides these, white clover and Canadian blue-grass were present. For this type of soil it would not be bad practice to add a small amount of both of these in a new seeding. The orchard- grass which is rather expensive could be omitted or reduced in amount and more timothy included. Timothy is the cheapest of the grass 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 New York State College of Agriculture; Cornell University.
