DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Treat Seed Grain Use a full-strength copper carbonate dust (about 50 percent copper), manufactured especially for seed treat ment. Apply to well-cleaned seed, at the rate of 2 to ounces per bushel. Mix the seed and the dust in a tight mixing machine (figs. 6, 7, and 8) until every kernel is thoroughly covered with the dust. Seed thus treated may be stored indefinitely until sown, without injury to ger mination. With this chemical, care must be used to avoid damage to the grain drill; In damp or wet weather there is sometimes a tendency for the treated seed to cake in the drill when standing overnight or longer. In such cases it is advisable to rock the drill wheels back and forth before starting in order to avoid breaking or. Bend ing the working parts. All working parts should be kept well oiled. To avoid corrosion the drill should be well cleaned outwhen seeding is completed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
