EMERGENCY HAY CROPS 
If you are short of hay for this coming season, we suggest that you use some of the 
following quick hay crops 
Two bushels of Oats and one bushel of Canada Field Peas per acre, sown as early in the spring as 
possible, constitutes about the best catch hay crop eastern farmers can plant. Cut for hay when Oats are in 
early milk stage. Seedings may be put out with this mixture, thereby causing no upsetting of the rotation. 
SWEET CLOVER, sown with Oats on well-limed Jand, may be tall enough to cut with Oats, improving 
its protein content, and may be cut or pastured Iater. 
SOY BEANS make an emergency hay crop, having a feeding value similar to Alfalfa. Inoculate Soy 
Beans. Drill shallow, on a good seed-bed, after corn-planting time, when weather is warm. Sow 6 to 8 
pecks per acre if drilled solid, or 2 to 4 pecks in close rows. Cut after pods form and before leaves start to fall. 
SUDAN GRASS, drilled at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds per acre soon after corn-planting, makes con- 
siderable amount of hay. Cut when just headed out. It will sprout up and make pasture or a second crop 
of hay. 
MILLETS are reliable producers and will make a crop in 60 to 80 days. Sow 50 pounds Golden or 
Hungarian Millet to the acre, or 20 pounds of Japanese, the Iatter in moist soil. Do not sow till weather is 
warm, and cut for hay just before the seed forms.
