EARLY SOWING PAYS.
That delays at seed timo are cxponsivo has been shown by tests conducted at Iho Ontario Agricultural College. In each of live years tho lust seeding of oats, barley, spring wheat, and peas was made when the land was warm ami dry enough to work to good advantage, and several later seedings were made at intervals of ono week. The best yields of grain and straw per aero were obtained from tho earliest sowing with spring wheat and barley, and from tho second with oats and peas. For every day's delay in sowing after tho lirst week thero was an average decroaso of GGlb. of oats, 531b. of barley, 201b. of spring wheat, and 231b. of oeas per aero.
