CRESTED WHEATGRASS—The Miracle Grass 
Builds BEEF and MUTTON | aac Es 
A drought resistant, long lived parcial bunch grass, introduced by Professor a 
Hansen of South Dakota State College, who found it in Siberia from where 
he also introduced Cossack Alfalfa. It is as perfect a balanced diet as can be 
found in one plate Sometimes called the Miracle Grass because of its: 
RESISTANCE TO. SEVERE CLIMATIC CONDITIONS: Introduced from the. 
plains of Siberia, it has stood the most severe droughts of the western plains . 
and has withstood temperatures ranging from 50° degrees below zero to 120- 
degrees above during hot and dry summer months. 
LONG GROWING- SEASON: Becomes green two weeks earlier in the spring” 
than other grasses and stays green later in the fall. Has grown four inches 
in November and December before below zero _ LOM perssunes put it in a 
toi eOtney dormant stage. 
HEAVY PRODUCTIVITY: The Wyoming Experiment Station reports that its 
hay produces seven times as much meat per acre as is produced by native 
grass hay. Produces twice as much pasture and hay of high palatability as - 
native grass. Tests as high as 35 per cent protein eke shows absolutely. no 
effect from heavy grazing. ae ae 
RECLAIMING VALUE: Because of its heavy root system and reeinpnaias ‘to 
severe’ climate, it has reclaimed millions of acres of land apparently ruined 
by erosion. It reseeds itself and chokes out weeds, conserves moisture and 
at the same time provides a wonderful forage for livestock. 
THE IMPROVED FORAGE TYPE Fairway Strain of Crested Wheatarhas is” 
finer stemmed, possesses 10 per cent more leaf, produces more hay per acre, 
and is definitely superior to the Standard type. Plant it real early in the season 
when climate plus moisture conditions are ideal for its germination. The very 
ebst 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: ace 
10 Ibs. $1.80; 25 Ibs. $4.25; 50 Ibs. $8.00; 100 Ibs. $15.00 Sore
