SEED CROP IS VERY 
SHORT—ORDER EARLY* 
winter? EXPERIMENT 
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. Relished 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. Farm¬ 
ers 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 win¬ 
ters 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 prepara¬ 
tion 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. 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. Lb. 25c; 5 lbs. 
75c. Not prepaid: 10 lbs. $1.10; 100 lbs. $9.00; 500 lbs. $43.75; 
1,000 lbs. $85.00.

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 normal season, provide winter 
and spring grazing from November until 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.” 
The 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 earliest clov¬ 
ers do not come on until the grazing season 
of Rye Grass is well advanced. The unusual 
merit of this grand grass is now widely recog¬ 
nized and it is rapidly climbing to the top as 
our most popular winter pasture grass. 
to it, with proper care, need never be planted again. 
Plant from July until November at the rate of 5 to 
10 bushels per acre, preferably in cotton middles on 
reasonably well drained, sandy or loamy soils. Culti¬ 
vate one time with a double shovel, trying - to push the 
seed out of the middles to top and side of row. On 
established pastures, 2 to 3 bushels per acre, and drag 
and disc in, or let it alone; the tramping of stock will 
work the seed down into the sod. No inoculation is 
needed. Valuable planting leaflet free! 
Reuter offers recleaned seed in the bur and with only 
enough dirt to insure proper inoculation. Prices: Not 
prepaid: Bus. (10 lbs.) $1.20; 4 bus. (40 lbs.) $4.40,

T’Fb. The South’s greatest winter cover crop and soil¬ 
building legume. A new type that attains a height of 
5 feet and is 3 weeks earlier than common bur clover. 
Hardier than vetches and winter peas. Withstands our 
lowest temperatures. Ready to plow under during early 
March which permits the planting of corn and cotton 
as early as anyone could wish, and assures 10 to 15 
tons of green clover per acre to supply humus and 
nitrogen. Yields 200 bushels or more of seed per acre 
on good land. Provides excellent winter pasture for 
all farm animals and poultry. Makes good on land too 
wet for vetches and winter peas. A field once planted
