MEADOW FESCUE 
Often called English Blue. Grows almost any- 
where, but best in low, damp locations. Is hardy, 
early, 2 to 3 feet high. Stands dry or freezing 
weather. 
TALL MEADOW OAT GRASS 
Great for poor but well-drained soils, especially 
when sandy or gravelly. Very hardy, perennial, 
highly nutritious. Pasture is ready early in spring 
and lasts late into fall. Hay yield is heavy when 
cut about blossom time. Tall, fast-growing. Deep 
rooted, cold and drought-resister. Up to 60 inches 
high, in tufts. Good with Red Clover, Alsike and 
Orchard Grass.

Penieien who have provided satisfactory ranges for 
_ growing chickens and turkeys haye reported savings of 
feed and cost reductions because grass contains many 
_ important nutrients. 
Green, succulent, tender grass is a good source of 
vitamin A, riboflavin, and other water-soluble vitamins. 
Furthermore, clover and blue grass range furnishes pro- 
tein, calcium, and phosphorus. An analysis of 25 per cent 
_ protein on a dry basis has been found in samples from 
good poultry pastures in Pennsylvania. 
_A bulletin covering seeding, fertilizing, managing and 
mproving poultry ranges (Leaflet 79, April 1943) is avail- 
ble from School of Agriculture, Agricultural Extension 
Service, State College, Pennsylvania. It will pay you to

BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL 
This legume is extensively scarce this year. Low- 
growing, perennial, stout root, bearing numerous 
slender spreading branches 6 to 18 inches long. 
Its main use has been for sowing into pastures. 
Starts slowly. Lasts longer through the season 
too. Valuable on moist or somewhat heavy soils. 
Has thrived on ground too poor for alfalfa. If 
available will be listed on price list. 
SMOOTH BROME GRASS 
A fall perennial with strong creeping root stocks 
that build a thick, firm turf. Thrives well on loose, 
dry soil, withstands drought unusually well. Slow 
to start, it is desirable to sow it with a nurse crop 
or with other grasses, especially when grown for 
hay. Sow early in the spring or late summer 
(about two months ahead of frost to be sure of a 
start). In some areas this grass is used with alfalfa 
to produce abundant hay and pasture, especially 
during the heat and drought of July and August. 
Some folks claim this mixture seems more pro- 
ductive—in milk and butter fat records—than 
alfalfa alone. This practice is spreading farther 
into the East. 
TALL (ALTA) FESCUE 
Differs from meadow fescue, mainly in growing 
6 to 12 inches taller somewhat looser panicles. 
Yields larger crops of hay. At the Ohio Experi- 
mental Station, tall fescue produced in 4 years 
on 1/20 acre plots an average yield of 4,870 
pounds of hay per acre. 
CREEPING RED FESCUE 
This is the true creeping type. A very fine shade 
grass. Produced in northwestern Canada in a very 
cold area. Hardy tested, sound, strictly No. 1 seed. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
A long-lived, leafy, perennial bunch grass; very 
drought-resistant. Withstands extreme cold. Early, 
long-season pasture. Grows 24 to 30 inches high, 
on almost any type of soil. Drill 12 to 16 pounds 
per acre—broadcast 20 to 25 pounds.
