HENRY FIELD'S SEED SENSE FOR FALL, 1942—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, Iowa 

Brome Pasture Car Deep 

If you’re looking for ‘plenty of pasture you can stop here, for 
this will give you a pretty good idea of what Brome will do for 
you. This was taken July 15 on the farm of Bill Heinse of 
Panbury, Iowa, who Alfalfa John says is. one of the biggest and 
best growers of Brome in the country. 
There’s no doubt Brome grass makes about as fine a pasture 
as you can ask for. One field of 11 A. near Shenandoah carried 
35 head of Jerseys which couldn’t keep it down so the owner 
had to turn in 52 head of sheep and it still was knee deep. 
Brome stays green all summer and you can even combine seed. 
oft of it and the hay beneath is green and palatable. 
_ Mixed with alfalfa (15 lbs. of Brome and 5 of Alfalfa) it 
kills the danger of Alfalfa bloat and the alfalfa furnishes nitro- 
gen to the soil and together they yield an enormous amount of 
pasture—high in feeding value, and one that drought just 
won’t hurt. ; 
With the increase of livestock prices, no farm can afford to 
be without plenty of good pasture. This fall we can offer both 
the Canadian No. 1 or Home Grown seed. Instead of being 
higher in price as most things. are, Brome is cheaper than last 
year. See prices on page 16, 
“Alfalfa” John Says... 
Don’t believe I’ve éver seen the weather so ideal for sowing new 
pastures or thickening old ones as it is this fall. There’s plenty 
of moisture and seed prices still aren’t as high as it looks like they 
Will be in the spring. It’s a mighty favorable time to buy and seed.

Fall seedings give about the best stands of grasses, too.

For pasture, this fall, the best two seedings are our Fall Pasture 
Mix or Brome Grass Mix. Fall pasture mix is made up of hardy 
grasses ideal for fall sowing. It’s economical, too, only $4.95 bu. 
A bushel sows 3 acres alone, or 5 acres if you plan to put clovers 
on it in the spring.

Brome Grass Mix is for dry land. Made up of over 50% Brome 
and rest hardy native grasses that don't mind drought and heat. 
Looks like a serious shortage of some of the clovers and legumes. 
This season has been wet—way too much moisture. The seed sup- 
ply is short for that reason. That means you better cover your 
needs early.

There’s a lot of interest in Brome grass this fall. And there 
should be. Never was a better pasture grass. Stays GREEN ALL 
SUMMER and you ean even combine seed and it’s green and palat- 
able underneath. 
Do * = * * 
When you sow Brome grass this fall, get it in early_before Oct. 
10 or, wait until just before freezing up sometime in Nov. Early 
sowed Brome gets a good start before freezing and late sowed 
doesn’t get started until first of next spring when it beats spring 
sowed Brome by a mile. Both are all right. Late sowing was 
especially good in our trials. ee 
When you get tired of paying agents $1 to $3 per bushel commis- 
sion for selling you corn, buy your Hybrid direct this year from 
Henry Field. You will not only save the agent’s commission, but 
have a Hybrid that will outperform the corn you have been using. 
Incidentally, you’d be surprised at the number of farmers now- 
days who won’t plant any grade of corn, but round hilldrop. It 
Saves them about $1.50 a bu. and is uniform and.plants as regular 
as edge drop. Beer. .g 
~Hilldrop corn gives same corn and same yields as edge drop as 
it has the same parentage, and is believed to make a stronger 
seedling corn and stand more cold.

Be sure when you send in your field seed orders, to check up 
on your shipping station. There have been some transportation 
changes and if you do this, it will avoid any chance of unneces- 
sary delay.

Looks like a good planting year coming up. I hope you have the 
best of everything. .

Words of Praise for Henry Field’s 
Mule-Hybrid 
“Here is a picture of myself 
standing by a field of my 
Mule-Hybrid corn. This is 
the best corn we ever raised. 
We planted 4 different hy- 
brids, but Mule-Hybrid beats 
them all for yield and price. 
This corn will go 80 bu. to 
the acre or better. Enclosed 
you will find my order for 
more corn. Field’s Mule- 
Hybrid on Minnesota land 
can’t be beat.”—L. A. Ken-
