Go plow in the stubble, for now is the season

For sowing of vetches, of beans, and of peason.[567]

In the directions for the October sowing are the following lines:—

Seed first go fetch

For edish, or etch.

White wheat if ye please,

Sow now upon pease.[568]

And again,—

When wheat upon eddish ye mind to bestow

Let that be the first of the wheat ye do sow.
