Time of seeding —Fall or early spring. 
Rate of seeding —14 to 20 pounds per acre, 
when seeded alone. 
Weight per bushel —About 14 pounds. 
Methods of seeding —Mix with equal amounts 
of oats and seed with grain drill or endgate 
seeder, using the grain compartment, instead 
of the seed attachment. 
Brome Grass and Alfalfa 
With the exception of alfalfa, very 
few other grasses or legumes can com¬ 
pete with the rapid growth and spread¬ 
ing root system of BROME GRASS. 
While other plants are smothered with¬ 
in a few years, alfalfa seems to hold its 
own when seeded with BROME GRASS 
and the two work together to their mu¬ 
tual advantage, making a better pasture 
or hay crop than either does when 
seeded alone. Equal amounts of alfalfa 
and BROME GRASS, by weight, seeded 
in the early spring with a light seeding 
of oats is suggested, or about as follows: 
BROME GRASS: 7 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Alfalfa: 7 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Oats: 15 to 20 pounds per acre. 
About 2^2 times more gain per acre 
has been reported for yearling steers 
from the above combination in compari¬ 
son to Blue Grass pasture.
