Timothy—Most Important Hay Crop 
SUDAN GRASS 
The Greatest of All Forage, Grain and Hay 
Crops for Silo 
Sudan may be planted in cultivated rows, or close 
drills, or sown broadcast, but we recommend the 
last-named, using 25 to 30 lbs. of seed to the acre. 
It is an annual and requires replanting each 
year; has no root stalks (as Johnson Grass) and 
dies with the first frosts in the Fall; is closely 
related to the Sorghums (Milo Maize, Kaffir Corn, 
etc.), but yields far more abundantly than any of 
these and the hay has more fattening properties. 
THERE IS NO OTHER FORAGE CROP KNOWN 
THAT WILL RESIST DROUGHT LIKE SUDAN 
and it is therefore particularly adapted to semi- 
arid regions, yet it yields immense crops under 
irrigation and in rainy climates. In brief, Sudan 
solves the hay and pasturage problem for a very 
large section of the United States. 
REED CANARY GRASS 
Is one perennial grass that will thrive in marshy 
places, stand under water for weeks without in¬ 
jury, yield enormous tonnage of hay with a feed 
value equal to wheat bran. Until seed is more 
plentiful we suggest to seed alone after the land 
has been worked and weeds killed off, using 10 
to 12 pounds per acre, any time before June 20th. 
Make your low land grow profitable crops. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
Orchard Grass is a top grass with thick, bushy, 
little spreading tufts. Reaches full development in 
the second or third year and lasts a number of 
years. It has quick and plentiful second growth 
and can be cut several times, the first cut before 
the bloom. When heavily seeded with other grasses 
gives good pasture and sends its roots deep into 
the soil. Grows quickly in the Spring and is espe¬ 
cially adapted for alternate system of farming. 
Most Important Hay Crop 
TIMOTHY 
Timothy is a top grass, persistent. Especially 
adapted to mountainous regions and does best on 
humus loams and clays, also on well drained 
swamp lands; does not do well on soil poor in 
lime or sour soil. It is a rough hay, nutritious 
and tender when young, liked by all stock. 
Cultural Conditions—Quite hardy, not sensitive 
to climate, roots penetrate deep, making it with¬ 
stand drought fairly well. It is especially useful 
for hay and pasture purposes and should be seeded 
from 8 to 12 lbs. per acre. 
ALSIKE CLOVER AND TIMOTHY MIXED 
Where Alsike Clover and Timothy are grown 
together and the seed is saved therefrom, it is 
impossible in cleaning to make a complete sep¬ 
aration of the two. For this reason we can sell 
it for less money than would be the case if a per¬ 
fect separation could be made. Those desiring to 
sow Alsike and Timothy together can save con¬ 
siderable money by buying the seed of these two 
varieties together as originally harvested. This 
makes a splendid mixture for hay or pasture, with 
just enough Alsike Clover to make splendid hay 
for horses or dairy cows, carrying about 20 per 
cent of Clover. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
From its character and adaptation it is the most 
promising grass now available for pasture in the 
dry sections of our state and when cut at the 
proper stage the hay is of excellent quality. Like 
other crops, best yields are usually obtained on the 
fertile black soils, although it does well on sandy 
areas in the Northwest. We anticipate the seed 
will be much lower in price in a few years, as it 
is a heavy seed producer. Try it out on your soil 
in a limited way, seeding 10 to 15 lbs, per acre, 
seeded in rows 0 inches apart with grain drill.
