Fertilizer Requirements per Acre : 
Fertilizer not usually profitable. Pe 
to 200 lbs. superphosphate or 0-14-6. 
unnecessary. 
Uses 
Mainly as a “catch” hay 
crop. 
Requires at least 60 days from seeding to maturity. Sow 
broadcast and cover lightly. Cut hay just after blooming. 
Has about same feeding value as timothy but na’ become 
injurious if used as a continuous ration for hor e3.

Seems to do better on “Sour” soils. 
At seeding 200 to 400 lbs. 4-124. Top dress

sary but helps some. 
Usual Grass requirements. 
Complete plant food. 
150 to 400 Ibs. 4-124 at planting, top dress 
(or side dress if in rows) with 100 to 200 lbs. 
nitrogen fertilizer when 40 days old. 
200-300 Ibs. superphosphate or 0-14-6 
fertilizer. Lime not necessary, but helps 
especially on heavy soils. 
200 to 300 lbs. superphosphate. 
Responds to soil improvement and fertilizer. 
200-400 lbs. 4-12-4 except where it follows a 
well fertilized grain crop. Lime helps and 
should always be applied when clover is 
sown with timothy. If land is poor top dress 
with 100 Ibs. each nitrogen fertilizer and 
superphosphate when spring growth begins. 
200-400 Ibs. superphosphate, add potash on 
sandy soils. Responds to lime but will 
grow on fairly acid soil. 
200-400 lbs. 4-12-4 at seeding, additional 
superphosphate on better soils. Top dress 
in spring where straw is likely to be too 
short. Responds to use of lime in rotation.

Well drained moderately rich soil is best. Harvest grain in 
hard dough stage; for hay cut in early milk stage. Fall 
sown oats mature 2 to 3 weeks earlier than spring oats. 
Long-lived deep rooted perennial bunch grass. Does best 
on heavy soils such as clays and clay loams. Cut in bloom 
stage, as it quickly becomes woody after blooming. Serves 
best when sown in mixtures with red clover, alsike, tal! 
meadow oat grass. 
Thrives on rich, moist loamy soil. 
A perennial grass with a creeping habit of growth making 
a coarse loose turf. For hay harvest a little before or 
during full bloom. Suited to wet soils. 
Does better = wheat, on poor soils. Suitable to any 
well drained soil 
Not an annual but little of it lives more than one year. 
Grows rapidly and in bunches. Fall seeding usually makes 
a good crop of hay by June. More drought resistant than 
Perennial Rye Grass. 
More persistent than Domestic Rye Grass. 
Any well drained corn or wheat land is suitable. Is heavy 
feeder and hard on land. For syrup or silage cut when 
seeds are in hard dough stage. When pastured or fed 
green there is danger of poisoning to live stock. 
Responds well to inoculation. Plant very shallow (about 
1 in.) and if crust forms on land before they come up, 
break it with a harrow. For hay, cut when lower leaves 
begin to turn yellow and pods about half filled. 
Does well on any soil except those that are cold and wet, 
good with cowpeas or soybeans. Cut hay just after it is 
beginning to head. Drought resistant and produces well 
in dry seasons. 
One of the best poor land grasses and especially adapted to 
well drained sandy soil. Does not like shade. Very 
drought resistant, perennial bunch type variety. Cut for 
hay about the time of blooming. 
Semi-bunch growth. Adapted to heavy soils such as clays 
and loams. Usually seeded in mixture with sapling clover, 
or with wheat in the fall and the clover on the wheat in 
spring. Cut hay when in full bloom or slighty after. 
Best annual winter legume cover crop. Adapted to moat 
any well drained soil. Inoculation necessary. 
Does best on heavy loams‘of good fertility. Seed should be 
treated. Harvest when stalk is brown and grain in dougb 
stage.
