FIELD SEEDS (Continued) 
HEGARI—New Mexico Certified. The 
best all around feed crop. In the Pecos 
Valley this crop will mature in 110 days 
or following oats or barley. The grain 
is of high feed value and the stalk is 
sweet. Excellent for bundle feed. Plant 
in 36 inch rows using 8 lbs. of seed per 
acre. This drought resisting crop is 
grown without irrigation in eastern New 
Mexico and western Texas. 
HEGARI—Arizona Certified. Will pro- 
duce more grain and the stalk will not 
grow as tall as the above. Very uniform 
in grain and stalk. 
JAPANESE HONEY DRIP CANE—De- 
sirable for ensilage tonnage and for 
sorghum production. Matures in 125 
to 140 days. The tall heavy stalks make 
this one of the heaviest tonnage pro- 
ducers. Stalks are sweet with many 
joints. 
RED TOP or SUMAC CANE—Will ma- 
ture in 105 days with little moisture. 
This has long been the favorite fodder 
crop of the Southwest. 
Barley 
CLUB MARIOUTT—A large kernel and 
a heavy producer for spring planting, 
can be planted in February and will 
mature in time to be followed by Hegari. 
CONWAY—A heavy yielding spring bar- 
ley developed by our own A. & M. 
College. 
TREBI—A proven crop for the South- 
west. It may be planted in the fall or 
in the spring. 
NEW MEXICO WINTER BARLEY— 
Developed in our own State. One of our 
heaviest yielders. Excellent for fall and 
winter pasture. May be planted from 
September through November using from 
70 to 100 lbs. seed per acre. 
Rye 
Will make one of the best fall and 
winter pastures if planted by August 
15th. Makes good early spring pasture 
when planted during fall and winter 
months. Stools and grows well in cold 
weather. A good crop to turn under 
ahead of a cotton crop. Plant from 
60 to 90 lbs. per acre. 
Wheat 
MARQUIS—A hard red, spring wheat. 
Standard for Western irrigated soils. 
Beardless. 
TURKEY RED WINTER WHEAT—The 
most popular in the Southwest. Desired 
by millers. Bearded 
Oats 
TEXAS RED RUST PROOF—Has long 
been standard in the Pecos Valley, can 
be planted both in the spring and in 
the fall (August and September or 
March and April.) Has been known to 
produce over 100 bushels per acre and 
weigh over 40 lbs. per bushel. 
FERGUSON RED OATS—Will possibly 
yield with the above. The plant will 
stool more. 
Pasture Grasses 
SUDAN—An annual, the best fast grow- 
ing summer pasture. Will require irri- 
gation in the Pecos Valley but does well 
on rainfall in Eastern New Mexico and 
West Texas. May be planted in rows 
with 5 lbs. seed per acre or sown broad- 
cast with 25 to 50 lbs. seed per acre. 
Plant after danger of frost or it does 
best when planted in hot weather. Often 
cut for hay and will make silage crop. 
An excellent milk producer. We offer 
seed that is free from all noxious weed 
seed. The 1943 crop of seed was very 
short but we have a good supply at this 
writing. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS (Standard 
Strain)—A perennial bunch grass that 
does well in high altitudes. Among the 
first grass to start growing in the 
spring. The fine stem and leaf makes 
good pasture. Drought resisting. May 
be planted in the spring or fall. 6 to 
10 lbs. seed per acre. 
JOHNSON GRASS—A perennial classed 
as noxious in many states and con- 
stantly fought by Southern farmers but 
is valuable to the semi-arid sections that 
have land subject to periodical over- 
flow where it will provide good pasture 
and hay. Responds to cultivation. 
Millets 
BIG GERMAN—The small stems and 
narrow leaves make good hay or pas- 
ture, quickly grown in the summer 
months. Long tight heads produce an 
abundance of grain that has good feed 
value. 
HOG MILLET or PROSO—The quickest 
making catch crop. Will mature grain 
in 45 to 50 days. Low growing sprangled 
heads. Grain is larger than Big German 
and makes excellent poultry feed. Often 
sown for pasture and hay.
