grown; superior to imported, Pasture, 25 pounds per acre. 
Timothy. This is a very valuable grass for hay. Thrives best 
on moist, loatmny soil. Sow early in the spring or fall at the rate 
of 8 to 10 pounds per acre. 
Pasture Mixture for Burned-over Land. A blend of grasses 
for sowing on burns and logged-off lands. Splendid value and 
very economical for such purposes. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per

Sudan Grass. An excellent annual drouth resisting forage 
plant. All stock relish it. Sow in spring after soil is warm at 
20 to 30 pounds per acre. 
Red Top. A valuable grass for moist soils. It is a good. per- 
manent grass. It should be grazed close. It has been grown 
successfully on “alkali’’ bottom lands, where other grasses 
failed. We offer only the clean seed. Sow 10 to 15 lbs. of clean 
seed to the acre. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. This is an excellent grass for pasture 
for all kinds of stock It is very hardy. The roots form a tough 
sod. Blue Grass requires two years to get well started and 
for that reason is often sown in mixture with other grasses. 
From 20 to 25 lhs. to the acre. 
Crested Wheat Grass. This is the valuable plant for our West- 
ern country and thrives well in semi-arid sections. It is re- 
lated to the famous bunch grass of the west. It is one of the 
best and surest hay grasses for these sections. It produces 
good crops of hay and makes excellent permanent pasture. 
It withstands drought and the cold winters. 10 to 15 pounds 
of seed is usually sown to the acre. 
Superior Reed Canary Grass. A hardy perennial grass which 
succeeds in spite of long summer dry periods. It differs from 
the lowland type or regular Reed Canary Grass in that the 
growth is more upright, leaves more numerous and of a 
lighter green color. Its stems are upright and comparatively 
stiff but not harsh. Primarily a pasture grass with a long life, 
long grazing season and produces a large quantity of very 
succulent, palatable forage. Sow 5 to 12 pounds per acre 
broadcast. 
MILLETS 
Japanese Barnyard Millet. This millet is exceedingly palatable 
and is the best of summer green feeds for the cool coast sec- 
tions. Sow 29 to 30 pounds per acre. 
German or Go'den, Will grow on anv good land and vields 
heavily when irrigated. Yields from 39 to 49 hushels of seed 
per acre. and is excellent food for stock and poultry. Also a 
srood green fodder and hay plant. 
Hog or Proso. The seed is large. Feeding value almost equal 
to corn. The name “hog millet’? is used to emphasize the use 
for which it is intended. It is a valuahle feed for hogs and 
cattle as well as for birds and poultry. Both German and Hog 
millet are often used as catch crops where other crops fail in 
irrigated or humid sections, 
OATS 
Sow 60 to 80 pounds per acre. 
Victory. This oat originated a number of years ago in Sweden, 
and since its introduction in this country has become more 
popular each year. It is similar to Swed’sh Select in season. 
Grain of medium size, short, plump, white, thin hull, nearly 
beardless. A heavy yielder. The straw is very stiff and firm. 
Swedish Select. Kernel is white, large and plump, hull thin, 
and straw is stiff and strong. Does not lodge. A remarkable 
root development makes the Swedish Select oat a good 
drought-resister,. and especially suited to high land. It is the 
earliest of the heavy yielding sorts. 
Gray Winter Oats. Usually hardy. Seeded in winter, fall or 
early winter. May be sown in the spring for hay in coast 
sections. 
FIELD PEAS 
Austrian Winter Peas. Here is the ideal forage legume for 
hay, ensilage or for pasture. Austrian Winter Peas under 
many conditions will outyield vetches. The vines and pods are 
almost as large and heavy as garden peas. The vines are rel- 
ished by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best results. 
Will not winter-kill. Does well under irrigation. and in rela- 
tively humid sections. Very hardy. Grown extensively for seed 
and cover crop. Sow 75 to 90 pounds per acre when seeded 
alone; when seeded in companionship with a winter grain 60 
to 75 pounds per acre. 
Canadian. This legume has the distinct advantage of being 
suited to late planting. Canadian Field Peas produce excellent 
forage. May be used for summer green manure crop. Requires 
considerable moisture. Sow 120 to 150 pounds per acre. 

SEEDS 
RYE 
Sow 85 to 115 pounds per acre. 
Spring Rye makes a successful growth in rather poor soils 
where other grains would fail. It is useful as a cleaning crop 
for the purpose of eradicating wild oats. Makes early pasture 
and may be cut and cured for hay. 
Winter or Fall Rye serves a very useful purpose for pasture 
and hay. May be sown in the spring and summer as well as 
in the fall. When Winter Rye is sown in the spring, it goes 
into the following season before maturing. 
Rosen or Petkuser ye. A winter variety of recent introduc- 
tion, it is hecoming very popular among growers of winter rye. 
It is said to yield more grain, stools more, and is hardier than 
the older types of winter rye. 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex. This crop is very highly recommended for pas- 
turage for sheep, cattle, and hogs. It also makes splendid 
green feed for poultry. Plant 10 lbs. per acre, in early spring.

Soybeans are annual legumes widely adapted to various soils 
and not difficult to grow on the warmer more fertile soils. Are 
excellent as a summer catch crop and splendid soil builders. 
Soybean hay is one of the best roughages and when mixed 
With corn they make splendid ensilage. When harvested for 
seed, they should not be cut until pods are fully matured and 
the beans hard. 
VETCH
