FIELD SEEDS—(Continued) 101 
Timothy—Most Important Hay Crop 
SUDAN GRASS 
We recommend broadcasting' Sudan, 25 to 30 
pounds of seed to the acre. 
It is an annual and requires replanting each 
year; has no root stalks (as Johnson Grass) and 
dies with the first frosts in the Fall; is closely 
related to the Sorghums (Milo Maize, Kaffir Corn, 
etc.), but yields far more abundantly than any of 
these and the hay has more fattening properties. 
THERE IS NO OTHER FORAGE CROP KNOWN 
THAT WILL RESIST DROUGHT LIKE SUDAN 
and it is therefore particularly adapted to semi- 
arid regions, yet it yields immense crops under 
irrigation and in rainy climates. 
REED CANARY GRASS 
Is one perennial grass that will thrive in marshy 
places, stand under water for weeks without in¬ 
jury, yield enormous tonnage of hay with a feed 
value equal to wheat bran. Until seed is more 
plentiful we suggest to seed alone after the land 
has been worked and weeds killed off, using 10 
to 12 pounds per acre, any time before June 20th. 
Make your low land grow profitable crops. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
Orchard Grass is a top grass with thick, bushy, 
little spreading tufts. It has quick and plentiful 
second growth and can be cut several times, the 
first cut before the bloom. When heavily seeded 
with other grasses gives good pasture and sends 
its roots deep into the soil. Grows quickly in the 
Spring and is adapted for alternate farming. 
TIMOTHY 
Timothy is a top grass; persistent. Especially 
adapted to mountainous regions and does best on 
humus loams and clays, also on well drained swamp 
lands; does not do well on soil poor in lime or sour 
soil. It is a nutritious and tender hay when young, 
liked by all stock. 
Cultural Conditions—Quite hardy, not sensitive 
to climate, roots penetrate deep, making it with¬ 
stand drought fairly well. It is especially useful 
for hay and pasture. Seed from 8 to 12 pounds 
per acre. 
ALSIIvE CLOVER AND TIMOTHY MIXED 
Where Alsike Clover and Timothy are grown 
together and the seed is saved therefrom, it is 
impossible in cleaning to make a complete sep¬ 
aration of the two. For this reason we can sell 
it for less money than would be the case if a per¬ 
fect separation could be made. Those desiring to 
sow Alsike and Timothy together can save con¬ 
siderable money by buying the seed of these two 
varieties together as originally harvested. This 
makes a splendid mixture for hay or pasture, with 
just enough Alsike Clover to make splendid hay 
for horses or dairy cows. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
From its character and adaptation it is the most 
promising grass now available for pasture in the 
dry sections of our state and when cut at the 
proper stage the hay is of excellent quality. Like . 
other crops, best yields are usually obtained on the 
fertile black soils, although it does well on sandy 
areas in the Northwest. 
Due to the scarcity of seed this season it is be¬ 
ing recommended to sow only 2 to 3 pounds per 
acre, drilling the seed in rows about 36 inches 
apart. 
We are offering Montana Registered Blue Tag 
Crested Wheat Grass, also a very limited quantity 
of 
THE NEW FAIRWAY CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
A selected variety which consists of a high per¬ 
centage of fine leafy types. Has great possibili¬ 
ties for farm lawns, golf course fairways and 
boulevards. The above characteristics of this 
strain, however, do not detract from its value as 
a hay or pasture crop. We are offering Fancy 
Montana Seed (unregistered) of this New Crested 
Wheat Grass (Fairway Strain).
