Sowing Instructions for 
Grasses and Clovers 
Pasture Grasses an Irrigated Lands 
Sow all pasture grasses straight, not with grain 
nurse crop; grain smothers the delicate young 
grass plants, making thin pasture or failure to 
get a stand at all. 
Always sow on a well-settled seed bed. If land 
has been recently plowed it should be worked 
down firm before sowing. Grass seed will never 
catch well on a loose, ashy seed bed. Old clover, 
alfalfa, beet or bean fields make good seed beds 
for pasture grasses. Do not plow or disc such land; 
smooth it out with a spike-tooth harrow and firm 
it with a good packing tool; then sow your seed. 
Sow all grass seeds shallow. This is natural for 
grasses; just broadcast seed on top of ground and 
harrow or brush in lightly. Grass seed will not 
germinate if sown too deep. 
Soon as grass is sown, corrugate and irrigate 
thoroughly; then in four to six days irrigate light¬ 
ly and continue with light waterings every four to 
six days for the first four weeks, after which a 
good irrigation every ten days or two weeks apart 
should be sufficient. Grass and clover seeds re¬ 
quire plenty of moisture when first sown to insure 
a good stand. 
Do not turn stock on pasture when grass is first 
starting. If turned on when grass is young, ani¬ 
mals will pull it up, roots and all, ruining the 
stand. A new pasture should not be turned onto 
until roots are thoroughly set. It takes about 90 
days after grass starts to grow for the roots 
to become thoroughly set. 
GENERAL FIELD 
SEEDS 
OUR RE-CLEANED GRAINS MEAN 
HIGHER YIELDS 
Owing to the unsettled condition in the grain 
markets we are unable to quote firm prices for 
the season. If you are interested in any field seeds 
or grains, not priced, please give us your require¬ 
ments and we will submit samples and quote 
prices. 
WHEAT 
Dicklow Wheat 
The Most Popular Wheat in Idaho 
That Dicklow is a wonderful variety of wheat 
is beyond question. Its yielding qualities are 
wonderful; we doubt whether there is a heavier 
yielding wheat than Dicklow in existence. In 
quality Dicklow is a very soft wheat and it will 
not grade as high as many other kinds, but it 
makes up for this in yielding qualities. Dicklow 
has immense square heads always well-filled with 
large plump berries. When allowed to stand after 
ripe this variety is inclined to shatter quite bad¬ 
ly and is therefore not a good dry land wheat. 
We have a very fine quality of re-cleaned Dick¬ 
low this season.

Federation Wheat 
A new strain of wheat that is gaining in popu¬ 
larity very rapidly in this section. The grain is 
very heavy and plump; it belongs to the White 
Spring class, berries resembling the Dicklow. This 
wheat is distinguished by a very stiff, short straw 
with very scant foliage that is practically proof 
against lodging, making it an excellent nurse 
crop. Federation is proving itself a remarkable 
yielder, seems to equal the popular Dicklow strain 
in that respect.

OATS 
Re-Generated Swedish Select 
This popular old 
strain of oats has 
been grown in the 
best farming sec¬ 
tions many years. It 
remains one of our 
most popular varie¬ 
ties and we doubt 
whether a better 
strain has ever been 
developed. Swedish 
Select was original¬ 
ly imported from 
Sweden, a country 
that has given to 
the world some of 
the finest strain of 
oats. 
Swedish Select is 
medium early; straw 
medium height, 
very stiff and stands 
up well; seldom 
lodges. The grain is 
rather short, but 
plump; the hull is 
very thin, conse¬ 
quently it will 
weigh heavy. We do 
not think that any 
strain of oats yet 
developed will out¬ 
weigh Swedish Se- 
lest. The heads are 
large and under all 
conditions Swedish 
Select will yield as 
heavily on the aver¬ 
age as any variety 
known.

Iowar Oats 
Very Early 
The Iowar is a development of the Iowa Exper¬ 
iment Station and has proven very pupular in 
the central west. We have grown Iowar in Idaho 
for years and it has proven very popular here. If 
you want a quick growing early strain Iowar will 
meet the requirement. 
The Iowar is a very heavy yielder, straw medi¬ 
um height. The heads are of pinnacle type and 
very large. The grain is white, medium sized, very 
thin hulled and plump; a very heavy oat. 
The Iowar is a very early oat and has proven a 
good oat to sow with barley for a mixed grain, 
and a good strain for the high elevations in the 
west.

BARLEY 
White Hulless or Bald Barley 
A very early, high quality feed grain, weighing 
70 pounds per bushel. Owing to the fact that it 
grows without beards makes it a splendid grain 
for hogging down. Being very early makes it a 
good crop for short moisture and short season 
localities, also does especially good under irriga¬ 
tion. This barley matures 10 days to 2 weeks 
earlier than ordinary barley. Sow at the rate of 
120 pounds per acre on irrigated lands, lighter 
on dry lands. 
Write for prices and samples. 
Trebi Barley 
The best of all bearded barleys, heaviest pro¬ 
ducer, thinnest hulled strain known. We think 
that there is no strain of bearded barley equal 
to Trebi and strongly recommend it to our cus¬ 
tomers.
