PERMANENT 
Most pastures are not supplying 
the amount of feed for farm livestock 
that they should. This is due either 
to the lack of fertility or lack of the 
proper pasture plants. Pastures 
should not be considered idle Iand 
and left to care for themselves.

ment of Agronomy, New York State 
College of Agriculture, we are offer- 
ing the following recommended Pas-

This mixture, which is based upon 
experiments at Cornell University may be 
used for establishing permanent pasture 
on soils high in fertility and where good 
grazing Management practices will be 
followed. Seeding should be made in 
April or early May without a nurse crop, 
and when this is done the field should be 
ready for light grazing within two months 
after seeding. This mixture should not be 
used for hay production. 
Note: The Birdsfoot Trefoil and In- 
oculation will be supplied in a separate 
bag, so that it can be thoroughly inocu- 
lated and added to the other seeds imme- 
diately before sowing.

This mixture is valuable for late summer

wide range of soil conditions but should 
not be seeded on extremely wet, dry, or 
poor soil. It is well suited for silage but 
unsatisfactory for hay.

swampy add 2 pounds of Ladino Clover 
per acre.
