Your Stock Will Thrive on Lago 
“GREEN COUNTRY’ 
PERMANENT PASTURES 
The farmer today is confronted with a conflicting 
situation. The same war condition which puts a 
premium on farm production also makes demands 
on the farm labor needed for that production. High 
prices are offset by high labor costs. Government 
statistics report a shortage of from 15 to 30 per cent on 
nearly all legume and grass seed crops. The success- 
ful farmer should plan at once adequate feed for all 
live stock, a plentiful supply of legumes to turn under 
for green fertilizer, and wherever available, an addi- 
tional acreage of unused or little-used land for pas- 
ture use. 
Just here is where permanent pastures can bring 
the farmer a world of benefit. Permanent pastures 
produce a maximum of feed results with a minimum 
of labor. Spreading fields of “Green Country” pas- 
tures in 1943 will mean lush, abundant feed for your 
stock, economically produced, and consumed with- 
out labor factors being involved. 
PERMANENT PASTURES ARE ECONOMICAL. In 
the first place, initial costs are low. The planting of 
pastures can be carried out quickly and with very 
few hands. Once established, the pastures need no 
more attention except irrigation in certain regions. 
This work can be carried out by the farmer himself, 
or if the scale is too great, by relatively unskilled 
labor. All the costs of haying—mowing, stacking, 
hauling—are eliminated. Your permanent pasture 
fields are your feeding troughs. There your stock 
can roam, enjoying the finest, most nourishing feed 
the world has ever produced. Furthermore, Lago- 
marsino permanent pastures are free of replacement 
costs. All grasses are either 
perennial or tend to reseed 
themselves annually. Irriga- 
tion costs are more than offset 
by higher yields and the ef- 
fectiveness of the pastures as 
feed. 
PERMANENT PASTURES 
PROVIDE THE FINEST FEED 
AVAILABLE. Nearly ev- 
ery food requirement dis- 
covered by modern sci- 
ence is supplied by 
permanent pastures. 
They are extremely 
rich in all 






vitamins 
required for health and growth of stock. The reason 
for this is in their being ever fresh and green, for the 
drying out process destroys the all-important vitamins 
needed for health. The pastures are also rich in cal- 
cium and other minerals as well as muscle-building 
proteins. Lagomarsino permanent pastures being 
highly palatable, are readily eaten by all classes of 
stock. The grasses are mixed to give variety, also 
an important factor in animal feeding. 
The proof of these statements lies in the effect of 
permanent-pastures grazing on stock. When pastures 
are rightly selected and mixed, stock show marked 
and constant gains in weight, strength, vitality, and 
health. The flesh gains are greater and quicker, the 
milk gains increased in both quantity and quality. 
The New Lagomarsino 
“Specialization” Feature 
The benefits of permanent pastures have become 
increasingly familiar to California farmers in recent 
years. No state has a wider variety of soils and cli- 
matic conditions than California. Recognizing the 
fact that pasture mixtures must be planned which can 
be successfully grown in all of these widely diversi- 
fied areas, F. Lagomarsino & Sons’ pasture associ- 
ates have given you in the following tabulation a 
special table of pasture grass mixtures. The mixtures 
referred to in this table have been selected by expert 
field men whose recommendations are backed by 
many years of experiment and observation. Every 
California region is referred to. Every type of stock is 
provided for. Every mixture has been scientifically 
compounded of precisely those grasses relished by 
the stock in question and best adapted to the region 
indicated. 
We KNOW, by scientific experiment, and the ex- 
perience of farmers and stockmen, that the mixtures 
are RIGHT for the region and purpose specified. Only 
richest, most palatable legumes and grasses have 
been included. We give the highest possible assur- 
ance, short of actual guarantee, that the pasture mix- 
tures we recommend will give fullest satisfaction, that 
they will put pounds on your fattening stock, extra 
milk in your dairy pails, and extra dollars in Your 
pocket.
