The accompanying illustration above will answer many questions, as to 
why this grass is so well adapted to withstand the rigors of winter and the 
heat of summer. Nature taught this grass to go down deep for moisture. 
Crested Wheatgrass is high in protein and makes very palatable hay, is a good 
pasture grass, has a longer productive period than any other tame grass and 
starts growth in the spring earlier than any other grass. About 10 to. 12 lbs. 
per acre is the required amount when seeded with a grain drill which in our 
opinion is the best method for seeding. 
Sow Crested Wheatgrass just as soon as you can get on the land in the spring. 
Here’s a little piece of good advice. Never sow Crested Wheatgrass deeper 
than one-half inch. Five years ago we paid $74.00 per 100 lbs. for this good grass 
seed and it was worth it. Seed being reasonable this year, why not plant a 
large acreage? 
FOR HORSES 
While Wheatgrass is becoming popular with sheep and cattlemen everywhere, 
we find that racehorse men also prize it very highly as a hay and pasture plant. 
We have sold considerable tonnage of this hay to Ft. Meade for feed for the 
famous Black Horse Troop. Once established this pasture grass is not only the 
hardiest and most nutritious plant but it will stand tramping by horses more 
than any other grass without material injury to the pasture.
