The advantages of sowing in drills
"over broadcasting are shown by many,
experiments. A good drill plants the
seed at a uniform depth and at a reg
ular rate per acre,- and does not re
quire as much seed as broadcast sow

that it sows the seed, .distributes , the
fertilizer and covers them- all at
one operation. . : r-'"-
