soil and climatic conditions the plants com- 
monly grow about 12 inches high. Adapted to 
practically all types of soil if well drained near 
the surface. Requires a warm growing season 
and will not withstand frost. Used mainly as a 
pasture plant. 
Meadow Fescue (Festuca Elatoir). 20 pounds 
per acre. A deep-rooted, long-lived Perennial. 
The stems are 18 to 24 inches high, smooth, 
rather slender. Most of the leaves are produced 
by numerous sterile shoots from the root stock. 
The leaves are dark green, long and broad. 
Prefers rich moist or even wet soils, does not 
succeed well in sandy soils. Thrives as well as 
Orchard grass in shady places. It is better 
adapted for pastures than for meadows but 
may be used for both purposes. 
Millet. 25 pounds per acre. The millets are 
rapid-growing annuals used primarily for for- 
age production purposes. Requiring in general 
the same climatic and soil conditions as Sudan 
grass. The plants usually attain a height of 3 
to 4 feet. The stems are erect, rather stiff and 
the leaves are long and broad. 
The seed should not be sown until the ground 
is warm, usually about corn planting time. 
Several varieties are used here in the North- 
west, the most popular being German or 
Golden, Early Fortune or Hershey and Japan- 
ese, also known as Billion Dollar Grass. 
Mesquite (Holcus Lanatus). 20 pounds per 
_acre. This plant is primarily adapted to moist 
cool climates and under such conditions is not 
particular as to soil. 
The plants form thick, rather high tussocks. 
The stems are erect, growing from 2 to 3 feet 
high. The whole plant has a velvety appearance 
hence the name Velvet Grass is sometimes 
used. Mesquite should be sown with a mixture 
of other grasses, a stock does not take to it 
readily when grown alone. 
Orchard Grass (Dactylis Glomerata). 25 
pounds per acre. A long-lived Perennial form- 
ing dense circular tufts, a typical bunch grass 
producing no stolons and hence never forms 
a complete soid. The stems are 2 to 3 feet high 
and are crowned and surrounded at the base 
by numerous heavy shoots. The leaves are long, 
broad and flat, rather soft in texture. Grows in 
practically tll types of soil, being best adapted 
to clays or clay loams. Succeeds well in shady 
places and also does quite well where rainfall 
is rather scanty, starts growth early in the 
spring. 
-Pasture Mixtures. 35 pounds per acre. Owing 
to the fact that so many types of Pasture Mix- 
tures are used, we realize that it would be 
impossible for us to prepare in advance mix- 
tures that would conform with the requirements 
of each formula recommended. 
Therefore we have confined our efforts to two 
Pasture Mixtures only, namely UP-LAND and 
LOW-LAND. In these two mixtures we use only 
the very best grades of seed carrying a high 
percentage of Purity and Germination and only 
those seeds that are adapted to the general soil 
and climatic conditions throughout the Pacific 
Northwest and for this reason we feel that 
either of these two mixtures will meet with the 
average general requirements. 
Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris Arundinacea) . 
8 pounds per acre. A long-lived rather coarse 
Perennial grass. The plants are resistant to cold 
both as seedlings and mature plants. The rap- 
idly spreading short underground stems soon 
form a dense sod growth starts early in the 
spring and continues until late fall. The plants 
grow from 4 to 6 feet in height. The stems are 
stout smooth and seldom lodge. The leaves are 
broad and nearly 1 foot long. 
Reed Canary is especially adapted to swampy 
or overflow lands of sandy, mucky or peaty 
nature, makes an excellent pasture plant and 
may also be used for hay. 
Italian Rye Grass (Lolium Multiflorum 
Lam). 25 pounds per acre. A hardy short-lived 
grass, usually an annual. When seeded in 
spring, late summer or early fall, it makes 
rapid growth, furnishing grazing in remarkably 
short time. It is tender, very palatable to live- 
stock and has excellent carrying capacity. The 
plants grow from 2 to 4 feet in height. Since 
Italian Rye Grass is a heavy seeder, if not kept 
closely grazed or mowed, many new plants ap- 
pear from volunteer seeding. Adapted to the 
same soil and climatic conditions as other rye 
grasses. 
Sudan Grass (Andropogon Sorghum). 25 
pounds per acre. A tall annual, growing under 
favorable conditions to height of 4 to 6 feet. 
The stems are fine, leafy, perfectly erect, seldom 
lodging. 
The plants stool abundantly and owing to 
the lack of root stocks never become trouble- 
some as a weed. Sudan is grown primarily for 
forage production purposes and should not be 
sown until the soil is warm, usually about corn 
planting time. Many failures are traced direct 
to seeding in a cold soil. In general climatic 
and soil. adaptations for Sudan are nearly 
identical with those of corn. 
Tall Meadow Oat Grass (Arrhenatherum 
Elatius). 30 pounds per acre. A long-lived, 
deep rooted Perennial. Strictly a bunch grass 
growing to a height of 4 to 5 feet. The stems 
are generally dark green, leafy above the mid- 
dle. The leaves are long, broad and rather soft 
in texture, usually a bright green almost yel- 
lowish. Can be grown on practically any kind 
of soil provided it is fairly moist, will not en- 
dure wet soils. It is one of the most drouth re- 
sistant of the cultivated grasses. Makes a quick 
start after pasturing and stands pasturing well. 
One of the first grasses to start in the spring 
and the last to die in the fall. 
Timothy (Phileum Pratense). 15 pounds per 
acre. A Perennial grass having a very short root 
stock and therefore grows in more or less com- 
pact tufls. The stems which usually reach a 
height of from 1 to 4 feet or more are smooth 
and generally erect. The leaves are generally 
short compared with the height of the plant. 
Timothy is adapted to cold, moist or wet lands 
also heavy clay soils. However, does not thrive 
on sour soils or impoverished sandy or shallow 
soils. Although root system is shallow it stands 
drouth fairly well. It is very resistant to cold. 
Soy Beans. 50 pounds per acre. The Soy Bean 
is a leguminous Annual growing to a height of 
10 inches or more depending on soil conditions. 
The plant is erect and branching, quite leafy 
and producing numerous pods. The leaves vary 
in size and color depending on the variety. Soy 
Beans are a promising emergency leguminous 
hay crop for various places here in the North- 
west. 
Soy Beans grow on rather a wide range of 
soils, are quite drouth resistant, and will stand 
excess moisture providing the water does not 
stand for any considerable length of time. 
Should be sown about corn planting time, 
rows about three feet apart and the seed about 
3 or 4 inches apart in the row. 
Vetches make excellent feed, either green or 
as hay, and are also exceedingly useful as cover 
and green manure crops. They are usually 
seeded with grain, oats being the favorite for 
the reason separation is easily made when har- 
vesting vetch for a seed crop. 
Common Vetch. The most important annual 
legume grown in Oregon, used extensively as 
a green feed crop for spring and summer, also 
makes an excellent manure and cover crop. 
Vetch is best suited to a moist climate free 
[19] 
from extremes of heat or cold during the grow- 
ing season. Is adapted to heavy well drained 
soils. The stems are slender growing from 3 to 
5 feet or more in length, with about seven pairs 
of leaflets and a terminal tendril. The flowers 
are violet purple rarely white and are borne in 
pairs on a very short stalk. 
Hungarian Vetch. A fine stemmed annual 
making a semi-erect growth from 2% to 4 feet 
in length and somewhat hairy overall. The 
flowers are brownish white in color and are 
borne in groups of from two to eight. Hungar- 
ian Vetch is quite winter hardy and is adapted 
to a wide range of soils, lands with poor drain- 
age and lands that are heavy, sour and white 
will often produce crops of Hungarian Vetch 
while other crops have failed. 
Hairy Vetch, also known as Sand Vetch. The 
stems are slender, usually growing to an aver- 
age length of 6 to 8 feet. The leaves are nar- 
row, violet blue borne on Jong stems in dense 
one-sided clusters of about 30. Hairy vetch is 
quite winter hardy rarely winter killing if well 
established in the fall, adapted to a wide range 
of soils doing best on sandy or sandy loams but 
does not succeed in very wet soils. 
Austrian Winter Field Peas. A true winter 
variety. Plants resulting from fall seedings pass 
through a definite period of winter dormancy 
before growth begins in the spring. The plants 
are viny, generally similar to other varieties of 
field peas under average conditions attain a 
length of 3 to 4 feet. The blooms are purple. 
The peas are very hardy, zero temperatures do 
little damage unless freezing and thawing per- 
iods are severe. They are adapted to well 
drained clay and sandy loams. The Austrian 
pea is used for all types of forage such as hay, 
silage, soiling and pasture. 
Canadian Field Peas. Quite similar to the 
Austrian Winter Field Pea. The stems and 
leaves are somewhat larger and the blooms are 
white. The variety is not winter hardy, being 
adapted only to moderate temperatures. They 
do best on loams or clay loams but will succeed 
on most types of soil if well drained. 
The Canadian Field Pea is used for prac- 
tically the same purposes as the Austrian in 
general farming. Both varieties are usually 
sown with a small grain crop.
