PASTURE GRASSES 
‘YGood Pasture Helps Fill the Milk Pails’’ 
One part of many a farm de- 
serves more attention than it has 
received—that. acreage devoted 
to pasture. 
Properly managed, good pas- 
ture can be the source of the 
cheapest dairy feed. The shortage 
of legume seeds to provide pro- 
tein hay is another reason for 
making pastures more productive. 
To make the milk checks bigger, 
to increase livestock weight, to 
better poultry returns—your at- 
tention is directed to these pas- 
ture pages. Seeds offered are of 
high quality — clean, vigorous, 
free from foul weeds. 

““KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS” 
The leading pasture grass for good 
soils, and perhaps the hardiest of per- 
ennial grasses in most Eastern sections. 
Prefers sweet soil for top results. Re- 
sponds quickly to applications of phos- 
phate and lime. Rarely exceeds two 
feet. Sow 30 to 35 pounds per acre. 
A slow grower, best sown with quicker- 
growing seeds. These take hold and are 
replaced by the Kentucky Blue to form 
a tough, permanent sod. Fine on sharp 
slopes and limestone valleys. 
““RED TOP’’ (HERD’S GRASS) 
A very useful, medium height peren- 
nial grass, with a creeping habit of 
growth. Four main uses—(1) as wet or 
sour land crop, (2) for pasture mixtures 
under humid conditions, especially on 
soils other than limestone, (3) as soil 
binder to combat erosion, (4) for hay 
mixtures. Grows on lime-starved soils 
that won't support other grasses. Vig- 
orous, drought-resisting, it makes a 
coarse, loose turf. Matures with timothy. 
“ORCHARD GRASS’ 
Since “married” to Ladino, this grass 
has won back the admiration of many 
folks who once disliked it. A very 
hardy, tall, leafy grass, popular for pas- 
turing. Grows most anywhere, all types 
of soil. Very early and lasts late. For 
hay sow heavier and cut just as it 
blooms for best quality and yield. Hay 
quality also is improved when sown 
along with Tall Meadow Oat Grass and 
Meadow Fescue. 
“\CANADA’ BLUE GRASS’’ 
Shorter, coarser, faster growing than 
Kentucky Blue—good on poor, rocky 
soil where Kentucky won't grow.
