It Srovvs where wheat, oats and barley would be a failure- 
It is the most profitable hay and grain food on earth- it 
neither rusts, blights, nor lodges: it is rel¬

tens in the green state. 
SoAV on ground prepared as you would for barley wheat 
or oats, either broadcast or drill, at the rate of 60 to 80 lbs 
Frost wil not damage early planting. Cut the grain when 
It IS a little past the milk stage, when it will make a splen¬
