Slender Wheat or Western Rye 
Grass 
Botanical Description—Western Rye Grass is a 
perennial with a short rootstock, not creeping. 
The stems and shoots are rather crowded and the 
plant grows in dense tufts. Stems and shoots are 
upright, tire stems being from two to four feet 
high. The foliage is somewhat variable. The 
spikelets are always strongly appressed to the 
main stem, making the whole inflorence narrow 
and slender—hence the name slender wheat 
grass. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass 
The earliest grass of all for either pasture or 
hay. Is especially adapted to our western coun¬ 
try, being a quick grower. Has a deep rooting 
system, which enables it to withstand a long 
drouth, remaining green all seasons of the year. 
Cut during tire blooming period for hay. Grows 
quickly after mowing, and will furnish a second 
cutting. Sow 25 or 30 pounds per acre. 
Sudan Grass 
South Dakota has recently completed some 
tests with Sudan grass for pasture. One acre pas¬ 
tured two cows for 60 days, or gave the equiva¬ 
lent of 130 days of pasture for one cow, compar¬ 
ing favorably with alfalfa and sweet clover. 
LAWN GRASS

Grain 
Wheat 
There is wheat and wheat, and it is penny 
wise and pound foolish to sow inferior quality. 
This inferior quality may be because the grains 
have not been fully developed or on account of 
impurity, or on account of improper cleaning. 
We guard against all three, hence our quality 
is right.

Ridit.

eration.
