 than does grass ; and it is not necessary to wait until the pasture or 

 meadow is old and worn-out before making liberal applications 

 of manure. It is my recommendation always to use grasses in 

 rotation with other crops whenever possible. There are a number 

 of grasses which are more or less well adapted for growing as 

 rotation grasses in Kansas, and these -may always be more or less 

 permanent. Judging from the nature of the grasses and their 

 general adaptation and the experience of farmers in growing them 

 I have prepared the following list of grasses and combination of 

 grasses and legumes as being suitable for 'meadow or pasture to 

 the several divisions of the state:'

1. Timothy and Mammoth alsike or common red clover.

5. Bromus inermis. orchard grass, and common red clover. 



6. Redtop, timothy and alsike clover.
