This situation, unless rem- ediend, will prove a serious handicap to the farmer, A dover crop may still be secured for next year if labor and time are avall- ahle to prepare the seed bed, says J. B. Dickey, extension epecialist at State College. "Before preparing to re-seed examine the present stand carefully and be sure that wil chances for the germination of the seed has passed.” In stony, weedy or very hard wheat stubble, plowing followed by several harrowings is advised. The soil should be given plenty of time to set- tle to make a firm sced bed for the clover. In many instances a disk har- row used four or five fimes in differ. ent directions will make a good seed bed an inch or two deep. This leaves the lime and fertilizer, where applied for wheat, on the surface to be used ‘by the clover, The stubble on top of the ground provides valuable protection. The time for seedrrg, according to Dickey, depends on the locality and molsture conditions. In the southern part of the state, seeding made by August 15 to 20 should be large enough to go through winter safely. Moisture is an-fmportant factor and sowing on dry soil és never udvisable, Farther north, ten days to two weeks earlier is advised, The clover and timothy are sown without a nurse crop; experience has shown that plenty of seed should be used. Twenty to twenty-five pounds of mixed seed will be none too much. Several hundred pounds of acid phos.
