Buekwhea-t is an ex cellent catch crop and shouH be planted- generally. Sorgnum, millet afid sudan grass fire one crops for forage. The acreage in late cabbage should be greatly increased for there will be a good ^demand for them this coming Ail kinds of seed-arc high but' CO offset this the products are, sure to be hi.gh alsd. And^ then if the farmers will be judicious, in-the use of seed he can stretch : Them out a-little further than he! has been accustomed- to doing, j Soybeans should noh be planted ^ except in rows:- either by.. them i selves, or if pki ted' for Tora ’.e ; mixed with- sorghum.
