FIELD GRASSES... 


DOMESTIC 
RYE GRASS 
An annual growing well in winter and 
much used as a companion crop with La- 
dino and other rank growth clovers. Does 
best on heavy, moist soils. Often sown as 
a temporary pasture crop or for use as a 
high quality, very sweet hay. 
1 Ib. 18c, 10 Ibs. $1.50. 
DALLAS GRASS 
A low-spreading perennial growing in 
clumps 2 to 4 feet high. Is drought resistant 
in summer and remains green all winter 
unless frost-damaged. Persistent grazing 
will not injure plants. Excellent in pasture 
mixtures. 
1 lb. 75c, 10 lbs. $7.00. 
SUDAN GRASS 
Our Lago Brand new strain of Sudan 
Grass is a definite improvement over the 
old Sudan, being 25 per cent more prolific 
in tiller and leaves. This new strain needs 
very little water, is thus ideal for dry farm- 
ing, and produces well even in clayey or 
sandy soils. Animals thrive on this new 
strain, and tests show they gain weight, 
energy, and dairy animals produce milk 
more abundantly. For quick summer pas- 
ture, Lago Brand '’Green Country’ new 
strain Sudan is unexcelled. Sow 20 pounds 
to the acre. 
1 Ib. 25c, 10 Ibs. $2.25. 
ORCHARD GRASS 
or COCKSFOOT 
A good grass for hay when planted alone 
or with Red Clover. Combines well with 
Ladino for pasture, but in this case, graze 
heavily or cut back before seed forms as the 
Ladino is preferred by stock and the Or- 
chard Grass tends to take the field. This 
grass is a perennial well adapted to wet 
soils, capable of withstanding heat and 
some drought. Does not tolerate alkali. Main 
period of growth starts in spring. Sow 25 
pounds to the acre. 
1 lb. 60c, 10 Ibs. $5.50. 
RED TOP 
A perennial sod-forming grass wtih vigor- 
ous shallow root stalks. Recommended for 
the cooler sections of the state especially 
when used with Ladino. Growth starts very 
early in spring. Tolerates both wet and dry 
conditions, sour soil, and relatively low 
temperature. Does well in combination with 
Meadow Fescue, Orchard Grass, or Alsike 
Clover. Seeding rate in mixture, 2-4 lbs. per 
acre. Alone, 14 lbs. hulled seed to the acre. 
1 Ib. 30c, 10 Ibs. $2.50. 

BROME GRASS 
(Bromus inermis) 
A long-lived perennial grass which suc- 
ceeds best under more or less cool condi- 
tions. Main period of growth occurs during 
the summer. Spreads by underground run- 
ners and will flourish despite long periods 
of drought. 
Sow 25-30 lbs. per acre. 
1 lb. 40c, 10 lbs. $3.50. 
TIMOTHY 
A perennial grass of value as a hay crop, 
Very palatable for livestock. 
having high palatability, good nutritive 
value, and mild laxative effect. Requires 
loamy soil and good drainage; not adapted 
to dry soils. Withstands extreme cold con- 
ditions. Not recommended for pasture. Sow 
15 pounds per acre. 
1 lb. 25c, 10 Ibs. $2.00. 
PERENNIAL RYE 
Excellent in a pasture mixture with clover. 
1 lb. 35c, 10 Ibs. $3.00. 

PASTURE FEEDING 
We strongly recommend the rotation of 
livestock in green pasture lots—especially 
where the pasture mixtures are irrigated. 
Rotation of your herds and flocks will bring 
steady growth, particularly on fattening 
programs, and will also preserve the best 
growing condition of the pastures them- 
selves. A small amount of time spent in 
fencing a few fields will adequately repay 
you in such a rotation program. 
Contact your county agent or commis- 
sioner for seeding recommendations for 
vour particular section, and for advice on 
ground-grain rations to supplement the pas- 
ture feeding. 

HARDING GRASS 
(Phalaris bulbosa) 
Once established, Harding is a persistent, 
long-lived perennial grass which produces 
a dense growth of large, leafy tufts. Har- 
ding grows well in winter, and will provide 
a large amount of feed all through the winter 
months. In fact Harding grows luxuriantly 
all year except during hot summer weather. 
Holds its own in a stand of Ladino Clover. 
Harding is yearly coming into wider and 
wider use. For best results, sow in fall along 
with clover at the rate of 2-3 pounds per 
acre. 
1 Ib. $2.00, 10 Ibs. $19.00. 
MEADOW FESCUE 
A very valuable grass for pasture, com- 
ing on early in the summer, and remaining 
until late in the fall. A hardy, long-lived 
perennial bunch grass. Grows well in the 
shade. Is good for mixture with Ladino on 
very heavy, wet soils. Similar in habit to 
Red Top, but usually produces a larger 
quantity of feed. In mixture, sow 6-8 pounds 
per acre. Alone sow 25-30 pounds per acre. 
1 Ib. 60c, 10 Ibs. $5.50. 
TALL FESCUE 
A variety of meadow fescue recommend-
