This pasture mi.xturo can be sown in the 
early spring, either with or without a grain 
crop. If a nurse crop is used, about one 
bushel of barley or of wheat per acre is 
recommended. As a rule, oats do not form 
a good nurse crop for a permanent pasture 
mixture. This pasture mixture, when once 
well established, will produce a good pas- 
ture, appetizing to the animals, excellent in 
quahty. abundant in growth, and perma- 
nent in character.
