If you are planning to seed the field to wheat or other groin, and clover next spring, you will do well to add 200 to 300 pounds of fertilizer to the acre. This will give both the I wheat and the clover a vigorous start. Answer:-.-), possible trouble with the soil in question is that it is too compact. Fine silt is packed togeth~ er so closely that air does not circul- ate sufficiently within the am of the soil where the crop roots seek their) food.
