ter and spring an unbeata¬ 
ble pasture. It starts 
quickly and provides win¬

from November until June. 
If cut for hay, single cut¬

American -Grown Rye 
Grass is deep green in col¬ 
or. Leaves are a little 
broader than Blue Grass 
and grows much taller— 
from iy 2 to 2 y 2 feet high. 
It is one of the most valu¬ 
able grasses for the entire 
South. Many farmers are 
turning to this grass to help solve the winter 
grazing problem. It withstands winters almost 
perfectly, and if allowed to go to seed, will re¬ 
seed itself and come up again when the 
weather gets cool in the fall. Relished by all 
kinds of livestock and poultry. 
On mellow soils no preparation is needed— 
simply sow the seed and rake in. On compact 
soils loosen the ground with a rake or harrow, 
then sow the seed broadcast and rake in. Sow 
25 to 30 pounds per acre when used alone. 
When sown in mixtures the amount may be 
reduced accordingly. The best planting months 
are September and October. Our seed is strictly 
new-crop of superlative quality—purity 98% 
—germination 90% or better. Every bag 
tagged to comply with all State Seed Laws. 
Prices: Lb. 24c; 5 lbs. 80c. Not prepaid: 10 
lbs. $1.00; 25 lbs. $2.25; 50 lbs. $4.00.

The State Department of Agriculture of 
Louisiana has issued this unqualified report 
about the use of Rye Grass for winter and spring 
pastures: 
“If used in the pasture, it should, in a nor¬ 
mal season, provide winter and spring grazing 
from November to June, or up until the hot 
weather of summer. There is no reason why 
it should not be extremely valuable in pastures 
for winter and early spring grazing. One dairy¬ 
man near Baton Rouge (Louisiana) planted a 
small acreage this past fall and states that even 
with the severe winter we have just experienced, 
his cattle secured enough grazing to give him 
April and May production in February and 
March. He says he is going to plant his entire 
pasture in Rye Grass this fall, which is about 
200 acres. Certainly, he would not invest this 
heavily in something that did not pay or that 
he felt he was taking a chance on. There is no 
other grass we know of that will provide graz¬ 
ing during this period and even the earliest 
clovers do not come on until the grazing season 
of Rye Grass is well advanced.” 
A dairyman near Atlanta had to be persuaded 
to try 4,000 pounds of Rye Grass for his pas¬ 
ture lands one fall, but the next fall he volun¬ 
tarily went back for 8,000 pounds. 
At present there are millions of acres of un¬ 
profitable land capable of being converted into 
paying pastures. Nowhere is farming so profit¬ 
able as where it has pastures for a foundation. 
When you have cattle, hogs and poultry you are 
producing food for your family and something 
to sell every day in the year.
