Sometimes rows are run with the plough, and two or three women are employed after each plough, in dis- tributing plants along the open furrow, which is covr^d up by the plough in returning. COLZA. COLZA. When this is skilfully performed, the planta- tion may be etTected with great regularity. In soils of moderate fertility, the plants need not be more than 9 inches apart in every direction. When the ground is very rich, they may stand about 12 inches apart; and when planted with the plough, eve...ry other furrow is left vacant, and the plants placed 9 or 10 inches apart. In moderately fertile soils, the product of the colza is generally equal to, and sometimes a little greater than that of wheat. Thus, in soils which produce 20 bushels of wheat to the acre, 20 or 25 bushels of colza are obtained, and the product of rape has been nearly equal. But in more fertile soils the colza, when it has been well managed, far surpasses the product of wheat on the same soil, it being not unusual to obtain 28 or 30 bushels to the acre, on ground that will not yield more than 18 or 20 bushels of wheat.
