PREPARATION OF THE SEED BED.
In aeeding Sudan grasa a rather firm seed bed is beat. Uiaually, when it is desired to drill the seed, the ground is plowed in the spring and harrowed well, aa for oom. A cool soil delays the germination d the seed; therefore spring plowing is preferable for the seed Led, beoai in wanning the aoiE Xo fertilisers are neoeesary in the West, where the soU is reasonably good, l>nt in theEast it is probably advisable to use some complete fertilizer, such as ¡a applied for com, or some combination of phosphorus and oitrogesi, if the priée of potash is high.
