With oats, the seeds should be sown after the last harrowing or brushing, with a slight afterbrushing to cover them. It often happens when clover seed is sown with wheat or oats, especially if the land be much worn, that a "catch" will not be obtained. The practice is so universal throughout the country of sowing clover with small grain, that many farmers labor under the impression that this is the only way of seeding land to clover. This idea is erroneous. A better stand of clover with less seed, may always be secured by sowing upon land prepared for clover alone. An excellent catch upon "galled" places may be had by breaking the land well and sowing the seed without any previous or after harrowing. In nine cases out of ten a stand will be secured in this way upon soils where clover sown with small grain will fail in nine cases out of ten. Clover seed sown upon a well harrowed stalk field will, in most cases, secure a stand. The quantity of seed to sow per acre depends upon the character of the soil, its state of pulverization and also upon the fact whether the land has ever been seeded to clover. Upon good, fresh, rich soils where clover has not been previously grown, one bushel for eight acres should be sown. If the soil is thin and unproductive one bushel for six acres ought to be sown. If the land has been regularly rotated with clover, one half the quantity of seed mentioned above will suffice; sometimes much less.
