Nothing like it has been thus far produced as it puts land 
that is just a dead waste into production of valuable forage. 
Continues to grow without care or attention. Very highly 
recommended by the Wisconsin and Minnesota Experiment 
Stations. 
For Pasture it lengthens the grazing season as it starts 
very early in the spring, and beginning before June 1st, 
will furnish an abundance of pasture throughout the entire 
season until late in the fall. 
For Hay. It makes a heavy yield of good quality hay- 
better than timothy and far superior to wild hay. Ordi¬ 
narily two or more cuttings can be made in a season. 
As high as seven tons of hay per acre have been produced 
in one season. 
CULTURE. Sow in early spring, alone or with grain, 
4 to 6 pounds of seed per acre broadcast, or 2 to 3 pounds 
with drill. Late summer and late fail seeding are also 
recommended. It makes a permanent grass when once
