| Question: | "Part of our rough is in such poor condition that we consider it necessary to harrow and smooth it and reseed it. What seed mixture should we use for this purpose, and at what rate of seeding? Would you consider a mixture of 80 percent sheep's fescue and 20 percent Canada bluegrass a desirable combination?" |

| Answer/Response: | "Harrowing the rough and putting on some additional seed should improve it greatly. Sheep's fescue is the best grass for the rough, and Canada bluegrass is often very useful. The mixture you suggest is very good. The rate of seeding will depend on how much grass there already is on the rough. If there is, let us say, half a stand of grass, we would advise you to seed this mixture at the rate of about 30 pounds per acre. In buying your seeds you had better buy them on the basis of samples and quotations. They should be purchased immediately so that they can be seeded about the first of September in your latitude." |
