. Descriptive & illustrative catalogue. Nursery stock Iowa Catalogs; Seeds Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Fruit Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs. CLAR1NDA, IOWA. I -^WmI. Scene in Bonanza Mixture Field. HOW TO SOW AND HARVEST. ZV^^^S$S^^& winter plowing Spriug plowing would do all right if the work could be done early enough. But for the last three years the springs have been so backward that it gives no time to properly prepare the soil, so it had to be rushed in the ground in a haphazard way like oats, but unlike oats one will not get the best best results from such methods. It will stand as strong land as oats, but to obtain best results, should not be too strong, especially manured land or plowed under clover. Sow 2 to 2% bushels per acre, using a press drill if possible, especially if the soil is clay or has been corned a good deal. Do not sow on too thin land but will say that the peas will give better results on the thinner soil, and it is equal or better than clover for benefitting soil. It is handled just like oats, being bound with the self binder and you will find that peas do not interfere with the work in the least. It is stacked and threshed like oats, the thresher charging 2 to 3 cents per bushel, the same as eats or barley, and for self weigher it is set at 50ib per bushel It will often over run that weight. We ha ve secured variet ies of the different kinds of grain that would ripen together as evenly as possible, but, as all know, the season has a great deal to do with the time of ripening different kinds of grains. The barley will ripen first but will not suffer until the rest is ready. If much wet weather it will color some, but that does not affect it any as feed or growing qualities. We cannot recommend this mixture too much and we urge all farmers who wish to get better results from their land and secure a grain that is more valuable for £eedin°- all kinds of stock than they are now growing, to raise some of it.
