EXTRAORDINARY DROUGHT RESISTER 
Tf you want the most highly drought resistant grass, sow Crested Wheat grass. In sections with as little as 10 to 
18 inches of: annual rainfall and high evaporation it has made a very satisfactory growth. Yields of 3 tons per acre are 
recorded in more humid sections and seed production up to 900 pounds per acre. 
It is a deep rooted long lived perennial grass.

Comes on Early—Grows Late in Fall | 
Starts growing unusually early as it likes cool weather. 
No amount of freezing or subzero temperatures, seem to 
hurt it. Begins growing in the spring from ofte to two 
weeks before Brome Grass which is also an. early starter. 
Likewise it continues growing later in the fall. Dur- 
ing hot weather it becomes dormant but responds 
quickly to a little fall moisture, It has not been 
definitely determined how far south it will grow. 
Has been grown in Colorado and [linois and is 
worthy of trials: further south and east.

Other Valuable Characteristics 
It stands close grazing and trampling remarkably well. In one 
test it was grazed continuously for five years from early spring 
until late fall without apparent injury. It has proven a fine weed 
eliminator. A field that was heavily infested with mustard and 
Russian Thistle was almost totally freed of these weeds after 
Crested Wheat was established, yet the grass is easily eradicated. 
It-is relished by all classes of livestock and especially horses. 
Cures to greenish stems and abundant leafage as hay which is very 
palatable and highly nutritious. No grasS is more winter hardy. 
Seeding Suggestions 
Prepare a fine well settled seed bed. Rolling or pack- 
ing are desirable. Use about 10 pounds per acre and 
sow with grain or grass seed drill. Relatively 
early spring seedings when weather is cool 
and moisture conditions most favorable 
for quick germination are best. Cover 
» seed about half-an inch. In very 
dry sections cover a little deeper, 
Rolling is a good practice.

Adapted to the Entire Country 
Red Top thrives from Canada to the Gulf and from New York to California. It is a vigorous grower 
and quickly ‘forms a turf. Very valuable for use in soil erosion work to stop washing. When used with 
Timothy for hay it generally increases the yield. Matures at about the same time. ' 
It is a perennial grass. One seeding lasts several years. The seed is small. Around 10 pounds per 
acre are sown. when not mixed. A mixture of three or four pounds per acre is fine in pastures and 
meadows. May be top sown on old stands to increase production. Early spring or late summer is the 
best time to sow. 
The seed is very small therefore the seed bed should be fine and solid. Take care not to cover it too 
deeply. Red Top is cheap this year compared with Blue Grass, Orchard, Brome, etc. If you wish to 
get a grass that is economical to sow and almost sure to get a stand even on poor land be sure to 
sow some Red Top this year. Use it with Timothy for hay and with Blue Grass for pasture. It will

This grass is very widely used in the south for 
lawns and pastures. Stands the extreme heat of 
southern locations better than any other on soils of 
a clay or loam character. Grows on sandy soils 
too but is less productive on them. The seed is 
quite small. Five pounds sows an acre, although 
for lawn seeding a heavier rate is recommended. 
It is not very winterhardy and probably will winter
