Former Governor TOM BERRY, 
boss of the 60,000 acre Double 
X Ranch, sees great future for 
Pasture Grasses and Range. 
“Everything we have made since we came to this part of the country, 
twenty-five years ago, has come from the grass and I think this is one of the 
best sections of the country to stay in if we restore the grass and keep the 
range from being overstocked,” says Tom Berry, former Governor of South 
Dakota, and west river rancher. 
The veteran cowman, now enjoying private life after being one of the most 
efficient and successful governors South Dakota ever had, and during the 
worst four drought years, says he is convinced the Federal Eange Program 
is bringing the ranching country back to normal by helping to keep the 
ranges from being overstocked, restoring the grass and putting dams on every 
place. 
Tom Berry is a practical rancher and believes in wheatgrass as the most 
profitable pasture grass for his two thousand Hereford cattle. 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS 
The Year Around Pasture Grass 
One of the most drought resistant, year-around permanent pasture and hay 
plants in existence. Produces the most nutritious hay and the finest pasture 
for cattle, sheep and horses. Unlike other grasses that die down in the fall 
with the first frost, this wonderful grass is not affected and furnishes pasture 
winter months as well as in the spring and summer. Once started it lasts a 
lifetime. Stands 120 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and 40 below zero 
freezing in the winter without apparent injury. Prefers clay soils. Plant 12 
pounds per acre by broadcasting the seed on firm ground and cover lightly. 
No. 1 Grade: 10 lbs. $2.25; 25 lbs. $5.00; 50 lbs. $9.50; 100 lbs. $18.00 
Choice Seed: 50 lbs. $7.50; 100 lbs. $14.50 
including bags 
We never sell seed to any person when we know the seed is not fitted for the customers 
particular locality, climate and soil. In this manner we have built a clientele that has 
confidence in our honesty, our knowledge and desire to deliver only the best seed. 
The fact that good pasture provides the cheapest and most economical feed for dairy cattle, 
beef cattle, sheep and swine and that the supply of adequate pasture for the longest period 
possible is most important to the livestock business.
