PASTURE and HAY CROPS 
BROMUS INERMIS Brousht,detving, frost, re- 
crops of splendid hay and affords early and abundant pastur- 
age. Starts two to three weeks earlier in the spring than native 
prairie grass and keeps green in autumn longer than most grasses. 
Bears up well under hot summer suns. Will grow under dry 
conditions and can also stand being covered with water for one 
or two weeks in the early spring. 15 pounds of good Bromus 
Inermis seed per acre is sufficient. Particularly recommended in 
combination with Alfalfa. 
if | MOTHY As a hay crop Timothy is probably un- 
surpassed by any other grass. It is great- 
ly relished by all kinds of stock. It yields more nutritive 
matter than any other grass or forage plant. It is not suited 
for a permanent pasture as it will run out in a few years. It 
is well adapted to early spring grazing as it starts up quickly 
in the spring, and in favorable fall weather can be pastured. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS  suismsiesne 
best, sweetest 
and most nutritious pasture for all kinds of stock. Very hardy 
and is uninjured by cold or dry weather, hot sun or tramping of 
hoofs. The roots are thick and stout, forming a tough sod. Blue 
Grass requires two years to get well started, so it is often sown 
in mixture with other grasses. Sometimes called “June Grass.” 
Sow 20 to 25 lbs. of “Northland” Brand seed per acre. 
RED TOP (Solid Seed). A valuable grass for moist, rich 
soils where it thrives very luxuriantly. A good 
variety to sow with Timothy and Clover for meadow or pasture 
and more permanent than either of the other two. Should be fed 
close. If it is allowed to grow up to seed, cattle dislike it. Has 
been grown successfully even on alkali land where other grasses 
failed. Commonly known as Herd’s Grass. Only ten pounds of 
“Northland” Brand required to the acre. 
REED CANARY GRASS ¢,,2haltaris. “at 
tions where the water table is practically at the surface of the 
soil all the time and above the surface part of the time. No other 
forage crop, the seed of which is available in quantity, will thrive 
so well on highly productive lands that are too wet for most other 
crops. Broadcast 4 to 6 lbs. per acre.” 
SUD AN GR AS The ideal Emergency Hay and 
Pasture crop for late planting. 
For best results, broadcast 30 to 40 pounds per acre, after the 
ground is thoroughly warm. May 15 to June 15, on the average, 
is as early as it is practical to sow Sudan, and it may be sown as 
late as July or August. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 4.»272y, 
. drought re- 
sistant, perennial bunch grass introduced from Russia. It has 
the ability to grow at extremely low temperatures and where 
moisture supplies are limited. Quite dormant during heat of mid- 
summer. Very palatable to all classes of livestock. Can be sown 
Spring or Fall, in close drills, using 10 to 12 pounds of seed 
MILLET 
Early Fortune (Red Rroso) Meee 
or, two or three times the size of German Millet. Heads in 
from 25 to 35 days. Gives a large yield both of seed and 
fodder. It can be fed to horses and other stock without injury, 
even when cut so late that the seed has formed. Seeds are 
smooth, heads are branching. -
