Pasture and Meadow Mixtures 
(The Most Profitable Crop Grown) 
In proper proportions of adaptable grasses and 
clovers are becoming more and more important all 
over Montana and the Northwest. 
They may be a selection of individually selected 
mixtures or they may be recommended mixtures 
(as suggested below) which have been consistently 
used and proven the best for many conditions. 
In either case we can furnish the mixtures or 
the varieties for home mixing by the purchaser or 
if he has any special soil or climatic condition to 
combat we will, upon receiving proper information 
from him, offer advice and suggestions.

more practical.

Field Peas 
(60 to 75 lbs. per acre in drills; 
75 to 120 lbs. broadcast) 
Peas are second only to Clover in their soil-en¬ 
riching properties and can be grown under any 
conditions of soil or climate. There is always a 
ready market for Peas, or they can be profitably 
ground and fed to stock. The vines make rich, 
nutritious hay. If fed to milch cows, when in a 
green state, pods, vines and all, the flow of milk 
will be almost doubled. Peas are a paying crop 
and can be profitably planted in many ways. 
They can be grown alone for fodder purposes 
and green manure but for a dairy feed it is far 
more profitable to mix them with oats, rye or bar¬ 
ley. The best time to cut for hay is just when the 
grain is heading out. This hay is of the highest 
quality and extremely nutritious. Cattle, horses 
and sheep thrive on it and it will surprise you 
how much of it will be produced on a small acre¬ 
age. 
White Marrowfat—These large handsome Peas are 
equally as profitable to grow as a field crop and 
on account of their size are saleable at all times 
at the top of the market, as well as providing 
the table with extra good Peas during Summer. 
Very heavy yielder, producing from 30 to 40 
bushels per acre; these Peas being softer than 
the Canada Pea, are preferred by hogs or stock. 
Mixed Peas—Suitable for a crop for either hog¬ 
ging or sheeping off. An economical way to 
harvest this crop and a profitable one. There 
are usually two or more varieties in the mix¬ 
ture, too, near enough alike in size or shape 
to separate but just as good as the best stock 
from a feeding value standpoint. 
Canada Peas—We recommend that oats or rye 
be sown with these as an aid in harvesting. 
Austrian Winter Peas — These Peas, like Winter 
Vetches, must be sown in the early Spring in 
states where severe cold weather prevails or 
the crop will be lost. The crop is mainly used 
for forage either as hay or silage, although for 
some time a seed crop would be quite profitable. 
Seeding a combination crop of Oats and Peas, 
using 40 pounds of Oats and 70 pounds of Peas, 
gives a maximum yield of forage when drilled in. 
If the crop is saved for seed, cut when about 
90% of the pods are ripe; if for fodder, cut 
earlier and cure rapidly. Try these out in a 
small way this season. 
Spring Vetch 
Vetches 
Like all leguminous crops, Vetch gathers nitro¬ 
gen out of the air and deposits it in the tubercles 
on its roots. In order to carry out this process 
it is necessary that the seed be inoculated or the 
young plants will not grow as healthy and vigor¬ 
ous as otherwise. Although many of our custo¬ 
mers report they are able to grow without inocu¬ 
lating, it seems that one is taking chances when 
inoculating can be done so easily with Stimugerm. 
Winter Vetch—Known also as Sand or Hairy Vetch. 
Although called Winter this variety must be 
sown in Spring in Montana as it will not with¬ 
stand our Winters; its advantage is that usually 
it produces a heavier tonnage per acre than the 
Spring Vetch. This variety requires a good soil, 
is frequently sown with oats or barley, with 
which it makes excellent feed. 
Spring Vetch—This is a very valuable forage plant 
and is rapidly becoming popular each year as the 
farmers are learning more of its great value for 
forage and fertilizing purposes. It succeeds well 
on nearly all soils and thrives surprisingly on 
poor light land. It improves the soil, being a 
nitrogen gatherer. It belongs to the pea family, 
but the vines are much longer and the foliage 
is more abundant. . May be sown with about half 
bushel of rye or oats for support. It grows rap¬ 
idly and is particularly valuable in sections 
where clover does not thrive.
