Too many this point They see others < plants weakens all the plants. If planting, and they plant Very often failure results from plant ing at the wrong time. Seeds seem to have a sort of sense of timeliness. Many of them will not germinate till the propei sea son comes. Grain crops, if sown too early in the fall, are liable to be injured seriously by insects. They may also grow too much before winter begins, and then be ruined bv the freezes. On the other hand, if sown too late, they can not develop sufficient roots to resist the winter freezes. To know just when to sow each crop is, then, a matter of great importance.^. Of course, this varies very much in different lo calities. Each man must study this question for his own sur roundings. Much the same is true to spring-planted or annual crops. Some of these need a long ^growing period. Others need a rapid growth. Hence some should be planted early, others late, when the soil is thor oughly vvarm. The nature of the plant grid the condition of the soil are important considerations on this point A ha^py medium is generally safe. Many think the moon’s phases are important. They tell you with great confidence that you must observe the moon and plant accordingly. This advice is con trary to science. The moon's any small grain crop be too thick,, the evil can not be reme died. This is a frequent cause of injury to crops. ‘ Even the cultivated crops suffer from this cause.
