TIMOTHY (Phleum pratense). This is a very valuable grass 
for hay. Thrives best on moist, loamy soil. Sow early in the 
spring or fall. Sow 8 to 10 Ibs. per acre. 
PASTURE MIXTURE FOR BURNED-OVER LAND. A blend 
of grasses for sowing on burns and logged-off lands. Splen- 
did value and very economical for such purposes. Sow 10 
Ibs. per acre. 
SUDAN GRASS. An excellent annual drouth resisting forage 
plant. All stock relish it. Seed in spring after soil is warm. 
Sow 20 to 30 Ibs. per acre. 
RED TOP (Agrostis alba). A valuable grass for most soils. 
It is a good, permanent grass. It should be grazed close. 
Grows successfully on ‘alkali’ bottom lands, where other 
grasses failed. Sow 10 to 15 Ibs. per 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. Biue Grass requires two years to get 
well started and for that reason is often sown in mixture 
with other grasses. Sow 20 to 25 Ibs. per acre. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS. This is the valuable plant for 
our Western country and thrives well in semi-arid sections. 
It is one of the best and surest hay grasses for these sec- 
tions. It withstands drought and the cold winters. As a 
mixture it does fine with Brome grass. Sow 10 to 15 Ibs. 
per 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 qauntity of very succulent, palatable forage. Sow 5 
to 12 pounds per acre broadcast. 
ENGLISH RYE GRASS (Lolium perenne). A strong growing, 
hardy perennial grass, noted for its nutritive qualities. It 
is equally valuable for both grazing and hay. Sow 25 to 30 
Ibs. per acre. 
ITALIAN RYE GRASS (Lolium multiflorum). A quick grow- 
ing grass, attaining a height of 214 to 4 ft., desirable for 
temporary meadows or pastures. Thrives best on soils that 
are slightly moist, and will even stand considerable over- 
flow. Sow 25 Ibs. per acre. 
ORCHARD GRASS OR COCKSFOOT (Dactylis glomerata) . 
Valuable if planted alone or mixed with other grasses. Very 
often mixed with White Clover, Red Clover and Rye Grass. 
Sow 20 to 28 Ibs. per acre. 
MILLETS 
JAPANESE BARNYARD MILLET. This millet is exceedingly 
palatable and is the best of summer green feeds for the 
cool coast sections. Sow 20 to 30 Ibs. per acre. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN (Chactochloa italica). Will grow on 
any good land and yields heavily when irrigated. Yields from 
30 to 40 bushels of seed per acre, and is excellent food for 
stock and poultry. Also a good green fodder and hay plant. 
HOG OR PUOSO. The seed is large. Feeding value almost 
equal to corn. It is a valuable feed for hogs and cattle as 
well as for birds and poultry. 
OATS 
Sow 60 to 80 Ibs. per acre. 
VICTORY is similar to Swedish Select in season. Grain of 
medium size, short, plump, white, thin hull, nearly beard- 
less. 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 re- 
markable 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. The vines and pods are 
almost as large and heavy as garden peas. The vines are 
relished by all kinds of stock. Plant in the fall for best 
results. Will not winter-kill. Does well under irrigation and 
in relatively humid sections. Sow 30 to 35 Ibs. 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 Ibs. 
per acre. 

RAPE 
DWARF ESSEX. This crop is very highly recommended for 
pasturage for sheep, cattle, and hogs. It also makes splen- 
d'd green feed for poultry. Plant in early spring. Requires 
fertile, moist soil. Sow 16 !bs. per acre. 
RYE 
Sow 85 to 115 Ibs. per acre. 
SPRING RYE makes a successful growth in rather poor 
soils where other grains would fail. It is useful as a clean- 
ing 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 after frost 
it goes into the following season before maturing. 
ROSEN OR PETKUSER RYE. A winter rye of recent intro- 
duction and is becoming 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. 
VETCH 
Sow 40 to 60 Ibs. per acre. 
COMMON VETCH. Resembles peas and valuable for forage 
and green manure. As a hay crop it is generally sown with 
oats or wheat to afford support for the vines. Usually 
sown in the fall. Best adapted to sections west of Cascade 
mountains. 
HAIRY VETCH (Vicia Villosa). Thrives on sandy soils that 
may be somewhat low in fertility, and makes a better 
growth during the cold season than the other varieties. Has 
very wide adaptability. 
HUNGARIAN. Finer stemmed and leafier than most forage 
vetches. Suitable to various types of soils. Resistant to 
aphid attacks. 
WHEAT 
Sow 75 to 90 Ibs. per acre. 
MARQUIS SPRING WHEAT is the standard, hard, red, 
spring wheat for irrigated sections of the West. It is early 
maturing and high yielding. Is beardless, short, stiff 
strawed. 
TURKEY RED WINTER WHEAT. A standard red bearded 
wheat with a strong straw. It is early ripening. Kernels 
are large, red and hard. It is in good demand by millers. 
THOMPSON CLUB or WHITE RUSSIAN WHEAT. The most 
widely used spring wheat planted in the irrigated districts 
of Eastern Washington and Oregon. It is a beardless, soft 
white variety which outyields all other common varieties. 
SOYBEANS 
SOYBEANS are annual legumes widely adapted to various 
soils. Soybeans hay is one of the best roughages and when 
mixed with corn they make splendid ensilage. When har- 
vested for seed, they should not be cut until pods are fully 
matured and the beans hard. Sow 25 Ibs. per acre. 
SUNFLOWER 
MAMMOTH RUSSIAN. Heavy producer of forage and seed. 
Of value for silage and seed production. Plant 10 pounds 
per acre.

Field Peas and Grain: 150 lbs. Vigoro per acre drilled 
in as deeply as possible before seeding. 
Lettuce, Cabbage, Tomatoes, Peppers: 400 Ibs. Vigoro

Everbearing Strawberries: Side dress in irrigation rills,
