Pasture Grass Mixture 
The margin of profit in most phases of live stock growing is dependent 
upon the extent to which good pasture is used in its production. 
There is probably no other means of so greatly increasing the net 
farm Income on live stock farms at so low a cost as by the production 
and grazing of farm pastures. There is only one way to get good 
pasture; that is, to sow good seed such as here offered, pure tested 
seeds of many varieties of grasses that are known to best serve farm- 
ers. The seeding of grasses in Ohio should be done between March 1st 
and May 10th in the spring, and in the fall between August 20th and 
October 20th. The rate of seeding if carefully done need not exceed 
20 Iba. per acre.

and northern states. For general use it should be cut when well¬ 
headed out, but before much seed forms. May be seeded all of June 
and July. Millet should be broadcast or drilled solid at the rate of 4 
pecks (60 lbs.) of seed an acre with very shallow covering.
