D O you need a quick hay or pasture crop this winter? Something 
that you can sow early to provide grazing from November until 
June? American Rye Grass fits the bill. It starts quickly, furnishes 
rich feed and plenty of it. Yields 2 to 3 tons of hay per acre. Rel¬ 
ished by all kinds of livestock and poultry. 
American Rye Grass is one of the most important and valuable winter 
pasture grasses for the entire South. Farmers have simply not learned 
to use it extensively. The tender leaves are a deep green, broader than 
blue grass and it grows much taller—from 2 to 3 feet high. Withstands 
severe winters perfectly. If allowed to go to seed, will reseed itself. 
In the lower South, American Rye Grass makes a better winter grazing 
crop than oats. It will produce a good crop when planted on sod land 
without any soil preparation. Prefers rich soil but makes satisfactory 
growth on any well-drained soil that is reasonably fertile. On mellow 
soils no preparation is needed—simply sow the seed and lightly cover. 
If the seed is sown on turf or unprepared soil a harrow or disk can be 
used to tear up the turf and allow the seed to get down to the soil to 
insure quick germination. Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre when used 
alone. When sown in mixtures the amount may be reduced accordingly. 
August, September and October are the best months to plant. Every 
pound of our seed is the finest Oregon-grown, new-crop, recleaned stock 
—purity 98%—germination 90% or better. Every bag tagged to comply 
with all State Seed Laws. Priced exceedingly low—sow liberally. Lb. 
25c; 5 lbs. 75c. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. 75c; 25 lbs. $1.75; 50 lbs. $3.00; 
100 lbs. $5.50. 
SOLVES THE WINTER PASTURE PROBLEM!

The State Department of 
Agriculture of Louisiana has 
issued this unqualified report 
about the use of Rye Grass 
for winter and spring pas¬ 
tures: “If used in the pas¬ 
ture, it should, in a normal 
season, provide winter and 
spring grazing from Novem¬ 
ber until June, or up until 
the hot weather of summer. 
There is no reason why it 
should not be extremely val¬ 
uable in pastures for winter 
and early spring grazing.” 
, Tbe largest dairy farms in 
the South are planting Rye 
Grass. It furnishes sufficient 
grazing to give April and 
May production in February 
and March. There is no other 
grass that we know of that 
will provide grazing during 
this period and even the ear¬ 
liest clovers do not come on 
until the grazing season of 
Rye Grass is well advanced. 
The unusual merit of this 
grand grass is now widely 
recognized and it is rapidly 
climbing to the top as our 
most popular winter pasture 
grass.
