If sown on freshlyplowed land, it is necessary to harrow until the ground be-comes firm, otherwise a poor stand is sure to follow. Theground should be clean, as clover is not a good fighter ofweeds. Red clover nTay be sown in the early spring on fields ofwinter wheat. In this case no preparation of the seed bedis required. The covering of the seed may be accomplishedby weathering.
