840A. You should sow liberally of this famous quick hay and 
winter pasture grass. The seed cost is so reasonable. Reuter’s 
price this fall has been cut deeply, making it an outstanding 
value. A bag (100 lbs.) will easily plant three acres. American 
Rye Grass is deep green in color and grows 2 to 3 feet tall. Pro¬ 
vides continuous grazing from mid-winter until June. Furnishes 
rich and palatable feed and plenty of it. Sheep, cattle, hogs, 
horses and poultry relish it. It supplies proteins, minerals and 
vitamins so badly needed by growing stock. Stands a lot of pas¬ 
turing and even when grazed to the ground makes rapid renewed 
growth as soon as given an opportunity. Withstands most severe 
winters perfectly and if allowed to go to seed, will reseed itself. 
However, the seed cost is so small, you can readily afford to plant 
it every year. Little soil preparation is necessary. No plowing 
and covering is essential, as with oats and the like. Simply sow 
the seed and rake in. On compact soils loosen the ground with 
a rake or harrow, then sow the seed broadcast and lightly har¬ 
row in if convenient. Many times seed scattered on top the 
ground will give good results. The seed germinates readily 
with sufficient moisture. In pasture mixtures it does well 
with Crimson Clover, Lespedeza, or other grasses and clovers. 
Best planting months are Sept., Oct. and Nov. Helps to 
solve the winter pasture problem. American Rye Grass has 
a wide range of soil adaptability. Makes a better growth 
than most grasses on lands of low fertility. Drainage is 
desirable, but it has a reputation as a wet land grass. 
Reuter offers the finest seed produced in Oregon— 
purity 98% or better—germination 90% or bet¬ 
ter. Prices: Not prepaid: 10 lbs. 80c:
