Pasture and Hay Grasses 
TIMOTHY (Phlevun pratense). Timothy is the most popular grass 
for hay and pasture purposes. It is easy to sow; does not require 
much seed per acre; starts growing quickly. It has a high feeding 
value when cut at the proper time. The average yield of Timothy 
is 2 to 3 tons of hay per acre. It is not a dry land crop. It will 
grow on irrigated land or ground that is naturally damp. Prices 
postpaid: 11>. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.00. 
ORCHARD GRASS—Orchard grass should be used in hay and 
pasture mixtures for dry land as it is hardy and drouth resistant.

mixture of Orchard Grass 5 lbs., Brome 5 lbs., and Slender Wheat 
5 lbs. per acre for a permanent pasture on non-irrigated land, 
adding a few pounds of clover if a legume is desired. Postpaid.

Sunflower 
Sunflowers may be used as a silage crop. Experi¬ 
ments show that the quality and feeding value of 
the silage is comparable to that made from well 
matured corn. Under similar conditions sunflowers 
will outyield corn. Sunflowers, when grown for 
silage, may be drilled thickly in the row by the 
use of a grain drill, stopping some of the drills 
to permit cultivation of the crop. They may be 
sown with a corn planter, spacing the plants from 
8 to 10 inches in the row. If a seed crop is desired 
the plants should be spaced at least two feet in 
the row.
