FIELD SEEDS— Continued 
BROMUS MARGINATUS. The grower states as follows: This 
grass seems to be a native over quite a wide area of the 
Pacific Northwest, though generally growing sparsely, a 
plant or few plants here and there. Has grown it for seven 
years and still retains the first planting in good growing con¬ 
dition and states that it is the best dry land grass that he 
has seen. Starts very early in the spring, comes nearer being 
green all the year round than any other grass. It does not 
have the creeping root like Bromus inermus. It is very 
palatable in hay or pasture; very hardy; not affected by our 
most severe winters; withstands the drouth well. Mixed with 
alfalfa it makes a wonderful hay or pasture as it eliminates 
bloat. Seed shatters badly if left to ripen so must be gathered 
early. Perfectly hardy for fall seeding. 
Canary Grass. Known as water grass, as it delights in marshy 
places. Grows from 6 to 7 feet high. 
Fescue, Chewing. Small, hardy low growing. Fine dark green 
leaves about 6 inches high forming a close turf. 
Fescue, Sheep. Known as a bunch grass and forms large tufts 
3 to 6 inches in diameter. Somewhat woody. 
Orchard Grass. Stands the drouth. Grows well in the shade. 
Does well in wet or poor ground. 
Red Top. Valuable for moist rich soils where it grows very 
luxuriantly. Grows from 1 to 2 feet high. 
Rye, English. Valuable for pasture, as it produces an abun¬ 
dance of foliage. Hay is fine and relished by stock. 
Rye, Italian. Annual, quick grower. Attains a height of 2% 
to 4 feet. Does best on moist soil and cool climate. 
Sudan Grass. Annual. Grows from 7 to 9 feet. Small stem 
about size of lead pencil. Wonderful stooler. 
Timothy. Best and longest of all grasses and most generally 
used. Height from 2 to 3 feet. 
Crested Wheatgrass. A perennial bunch grass related to Blue 
Joint, a native of the cold, dry plains of Siberia. It has a 
strongly developed root system which penetrates the soil to 
an unusual depth. It is from 5 to 14 days earlier than any 
other grass and continuous growth until late in the fall. Sow 
from 10 to 15 lbs. per acre. 
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, 
the stems being from 2 to 4 feet high. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass. Has a deep rooting system, which 
enables it to withstand a long drouth, remaining green all 
seasons of the year. Cut during the blooming period for hay. 
Grows quickly after mowing, and will furnish a second cut¬ 
ting. Sow 25 or 30 pounds per acre. 
Korean Lespedeza. The abundant growth, deep penetrating 
roots covered with nodules make Korean Lespedeza an out¬ 
standing grazing and soil building legume, especially for the 
mountain section. The strong root growth penetrates about 8 
inches deep, making it highly drouth resistant, and thriving 
on poor, wornout soils. In feeding value it is about equal to 
alfalfa; has no woody stem; holds its leaves well and produces 
a full crop the first season. It is an annual, reseeds indef¬ 
initely although closely grazed. 
Sudan Grass. South Dakota has recently completed some 
tests with Sudan grass for pasture. One acre pastured two 
cows for 60 days, or gave the equivalent of 130 days of pas¬ 
ture for one cow, comparing favorably with alfalfa and sweet 
clover.
