peed Corn To Rye Grass 

All 800 acres of hybrid seed corn on the Robson farms were sowed at the last cultivation with Domestic Rye Grass. 
recommending that dairymen sow Domestic Rye Grass in their silage corn for late Fall and Spring pasture. 
DOMESTIC RYE GRASS 
You should use Domestic Rye Grass if you grow 
corn. Sown after the last cultivation, the rye grass 
prevents erosion during the Winter and Spring; holds 
nitrogen in the soil that would otherwise be lost; pro- 
vides humus to be plowed under; controls weeds; and 
furnishes excellent late Fall pasture. 
Domestic Rye Grass should be sown at the rate of 10 
Ibs. per acre directly behind the cultivator; if you intend 
to pasture rye grass sow 20 lbs. per acre. 
1 to 10 lbs. 25 cts. per 1b.; 10 to 20 Ibs., 20 cts. 
per lb.; 20 to 100 lbs., 18 cts. per lb., prepaid; 100 
lbs. or over, 16 cts., not prepaid.

L Several farmers reported 
that their cows refused to eat the Rye Grass so we experimented with it as shown above. We found that the cows ate it readily when 
it was young. Apparently it gets tough and wiry later in the season. 
PASTURE MIXTURE 
1946 CORNELL SPECIAL PASTURE MIXTURE: 
This mixture is intended for use on good land which 
has been adequately fertilized, and under conditions 
which will permit good grazing management practices 
to be adopted. Full information will be found in 
Cornell University Extension Bulletin No. 393 
entitled “Pasture Improvement and Management” 
from the Office of Publications, Roberts Hall, Cornell 
University, Ithaca, New York. The recommended 
seeding is 25 lbs. per acre. 5 to 25 lbs. 60 cts. per 
lb.; 25 to 100 lbs. 55 cts. per lb.; 100 Ibs. or over 
54 cts per lb., Prepaid. 
SOY BEANS 
CAYUGA: 90 days. Cayuga has an upright habit of 
growth with few branches, 21% to 3 feet high. The 
stiff stalk bears a profusion of pods containing 2 or 3 
small black beans. 
We have found that under our conditions the most 
economical way to grow Cayuga Soy Beans is to drill 
them about June 10th on a clean piece of ground us- 
ing all the runs in the grain drill and seeding at the 
rate of 144 bu. per acre. If weeds are a problem, 
when the bean plants are 3 to 4 inches high a weeder 
or spike tooth drag should be used. When ripe they 
can be cut with a combine or grain binder and 
threshed. Suitable for stock feeding, also for an 
early hay crop. % bu. $2.30; 1 to 4 bu. $4.25; 4 
bu. or more, $4.00 per bu.; not prepaid. 
LINCOLN: 108 days. A new cross between Mandarin 
and Manchu. Plant medium height, well branched, 
upright. Especially adapted for planting with corn 
for silage in New York and northern Pennsylvania. 
Soy beans in corn adds 10% more dry matter and 
50% more protein to the silage. 1% bu. $2.30; 1 to 
4 bu. $4.50 per bu.; 4 bu. or more $4.25 per bu.; 
not prepaid. 
SENECA: 100 days. The new early yellow variety 
that will, we believe, take the place of Cayuga for 
grain in the Northeast. Larger plant than Cayuga 
and yields much heavier. A very desirable variety 
for feeding or processing for oil. 
Seneca Soy Beans should be planted in 28 inch 
rows and cultivated or sowed with a grain drill 
using every other tooth. Because of size of plant it 
is not advisable to sow closer than 14 inch rows. 
Where 14 inch rows are used cultivating can be done 
with spike tooth drag or rotary hoe. 3 to 4 pecks 
willsow anacrein 14inchrows. % bu. $2.40; 1to4 
bu. $4.50; 4 bu. or more, $4.25 per bu.; not pre- 
paid. 
MANCHU: 110 days. A tall, late, stiff strawed 
variety that is suitable for hay or green manure. It 
is also adapted to planting with corn for silage. 
¥% bu. $2.20; 1 to 4 bu. $4.00; 4 bu. or more, $3.75 
per bu.; not prepaid.

with Legume-Aid. See page 29
