A Most Valuable Pasture

earns half a unit or 75c an acre under A.A.A. 
and $1.50 for pasture improvement. See page 9. 
Seeding Suggestions 
Buy good seed but don’t pay too much for it. Our 
prices should save you money. In spite of short 
crops our prices are low. Prepare a fine, well set- 
tled seed bed. Sow in the spring or fall. Spring 
seedings may be made with a light crop of grain as 
a companion crop. Often it is best to cut grain for 
hay so as to give the grass a better chance. Some 
clover also may be used with a spring seeding.

perennial grass is

per acre. In mixtures, reduce to suit your ideas. 
Make Blue Grass More Profitable 
Blue Grass pasture should be good money makers yet 
on many farms they are not. That is not the fault of 
the grass but more often due to neglect. When bare 
spots show up little attention is given them. It is hoped 
they may be reseeded by mother nature. Sometimes 
they are but it is slow. Meanwhile you lose what bare 
spots might be producing and weeds creep in. Save 
money by reseeding such places. 
Other ways in which you can improve Blue Grass pas- 
ture is to fertilize them. Grasses use plant food same as 
grain. Sow clovers in Blue Grass to give them more 
nitrogen. Sweet clover is excellent for that. Clip weeds 
before they go to seed. Disc it occasionally and harrow 
early in the spring. Do not over-graze it in dry season, 
For thickening thin spots 8 to 10 lbs. are gen- 
erally sufficient. Whenever possible roll after 
seeding. See page 40 for Chicago prices. 
Blue Grass for Lawns 
For lawns a very thick stand is 
desirable and a pound to every 5 
or 600 square feet is suggested. 
. An application of commercial fer- 
tilizer and a little lime will make a 
more luxurious growth, give it 
better color and help keep out 
weeds such as dandelions.

ORCHARD GRASS 
Adapted to a Wide Region—Fine for Shady Places 
Orchard Grass is grown in nearly every.state in the Union. It is most common north of Alabama 
and Georgia and eastward from and in Iowa and Missouri. Also grown south and west of these 
localities. It has soil requirements similar to Timothy and Blue Grass but can be grown in a wider 
range of climates. It is grown alone for hay and pasture but is perhaps most generally used mixed 
with other grasses and’clovers. A mixture of Orchard Grass with clovers makes fine hay especially 
for fattening cattle for market. 
We consider it very good with sweet clover because it grows in the 
‘ shade of taller plants better than any other grass we sell. 
Orchard Grass makes best hay if cut when 
just in bloom. Makes a good aftermath for pasture. 
Starts Growing Early and Grows Late in Season 
The early starting growth of Orchard Grass in the spring makes it a valuable addition 
to pasture seedings. It grows luxuriously then and again in late fall it adds to the pro- 
ductiveness of pastures. Add it to Brome, Sweet Clover, Blue Grass, Timothy and other 
grasses for pasture. Your local A.A.A. can give you payments on Orchard Grass seed- 
ing. Ranges from 75c to $1.50 an acre in adapted areas. 
Fifteen to twenty pounds per acre are generally sown when a stand of straight Or- 
chard Grass is desired. The percentage in mixtures is one of personal preference. Sow 
spring or fall and follow the suggestions given above for Blue Grass.

A Grass That Is Widely Adapted 
A crop used for hay and pasture. Yields around 
2 tons of hay per acre on average land. Grows 15 to 
80 inches high. Exceptionally valuable for pastures 
because it comes on very early in the spring and keeps 
on the job until late in the fall. Grows well from 
Kansas and Nebraska east to the Atlantic Coast and 
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Not critical as 
to soils. Few grasses can equal it on wet land. Lives 
longer than Timothy. Seed cost is low 
this year. Sow about 20 lbs, per acre. 
It is a profitable crop either alone or in 
mixtures. Start this grass. Our under-

A Popular Low Cost Seeding 
Our trade uses a lot of this for top seeding in pas- 
tures and meadows, and new stands. Many sow it 
alone, others add Alsike and other clovers. | Adapted 
to a wide range of soils and climate. Especially good 
for wet land. ‘Ten pounds an acre makes a full seed- 
ing. A.A.A.payments 40c an acre where adapted. 
Lot “Tim” is Red Top containing some Timothy 
seed. We secured this seed at low cost and are selling 
it at figures that make an appealing 
bargain. The low acre seeding cost 
and the ease of obtaining stands make 
this a very popular value. Shipment
