Smooth BROME GRASS Is Heaviest Yielding Hay and 
See Pasture Grass : 
Smooth Brome Grass is a Giant Bluegrass—hardy and permanent and it 
roots deeply, sometimes 4 and 5 feet deep, making it stand dry and hot 
weather as well as the coldest winters. 
It is the first green grass in the spring 
and the last in the fall and keeps green 
all summer when other grasses are 
dried. 
All classes of livestock like it. Very 
palatable. -As it is a grass, it cannot 
poison stock. Easily killed out under 
cultivation if you want to remove it. 
It is important to seed it as early as 
the ground can be worked. Very little 
if any injury from frost. 
Seeding is done by hand, by Cyclone 
or endgate drill, unless some coarse 
grain is mixed with it. Plant at 15 to 
20 pounds per acre, where it is seeded 
alone. Do not cover deeply—-inch 
deep is sufficient. Old pastures should 
have a light discing, then seed and roll. 
Rolling or packing will give a better — 
stand. No. 1 seed, free from foul weeds.

Wheatgrass is not only the most profitable for beef cattle but is also the best year round 
_ permanent pasture for production of wool and mutton on western ranches . 
_ CRESTED WHEATGRASS Builds Beef and Mutton 
A drought resistant, long lived perennial bunch grass, introduced by Pro- 
fessor Hansen of South Dakota State College, who found it in Siberia, from 
where he also introduced Cossack Alfalfa, as nearly perfect balanced diet as 
ean be found in a plant. 
IMPROVED FORAGE TYPE of Crested Wheatgrass is finer stemmed and 
possesses 10 per cent more leaf and is definitely superior to the standard 
types. It becomes green in the spring earlier than other grasses and stays 
green later in the fall. It produces twice as much pasture and hay of high 
palatability and nutritive value as native grass. Produces twice as much 
beef, mutton and wool and shows no bad effect from heavy grazing. Broad- 
cast .10 to 12 lbs. per acre. It has the ability to grow in low temperatures 
and starts growing earlier. Plant it early in the season. The very best top 
quality seed of the heavier yielding Forage Type strain: 
10 Ibs. $2.60; 25 Ibs. $5.00; 50 Ibs. $9.50; 100 Ibs. $18.00 
No. 1 grade Standard Crested Wheatgrass: 
10 Ibs. $1.90; 25 Ibs. $4.50; 50 Ibs. $8.50; 100 Ibs. $16.00
