BROME GRASS 
““THE MIRACLE DROUGHT RESISTER’’ 
One of the most sensational additions that 
American agriculture has received in years. 
It is rather slow the first season, but the 
second year is great and once established you 
have it for keeps. It is hardy, permanent, 
stands the driest of droughts, the hottest sum- 
mers, and the coldest winters. It is the first 
green grass in the spring, the last in the fall, 
and stays green all summer when other grasses 
are dry. It is very high in feeding value; will 
carry from 50 to 100 per cent more livestock 
per acre than Blue Grass. Cut for hay, you 
will have from three to four tons per acre. 
All classes of livestock like it as it is very 
palatable. It is a grass and so it cannot poison 
the stock. Sow either fall or spring using 
15 to 20 lbs. per acre. Have a firm, well 
packed seed bed, harrow in lightly and roll 
well if at all possible. Do not cover too 
deeply—one-fourth to one-half inch is plenty. 
You can get two crops in a season. Harvest 
when it is one-third to one-half in bloom. 
It is easily killed under cultivation if you 
want to get rid of it. Our Brome Grass is 
native grown and adapted to our climate.
