Most pastures are not supplying the 
amount of feed for farm livestock that 
they should. This is due either to the 
Jack of fertility or lack of the proper 
pasture plants. Pastures should not be 
considered idle Jand and left to care for 
themselves. 
In codperation with the Department 
of Agronomy, New York State College 
of Agriculture, we are offering the 
following recommended Pasture Mix- 
ture for 1947,

not droughty, supplied with lime and

fertility is low to medium and the soil is not 
suited to alfalfa. It may be seeded alone or 
with a companion grain crop. Hay or summer 
silage may be cut for one or two years and 
then used for pasture, or it may be pastured 
throughout the season from the beginning.

This mixture is valuable for late summer or 
all-season grazing. It is suited to a 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. 
Cornell Poultry Pasture Mixture 
Kentucky Blue Grass....... ...12 Ibs. 
Ladino White Clover............... 2 lbs. 
Total for seeding an acre, 14 lbs. 
This mixture should be used in the es- 
tablishment of pastures for poultry.

Kentucky Blue Grass.... .10 Ibs. 
Timothy. . 7 Ibs. 
Birdsfoot Trefoil (see Note). ae 
Wild White Clover.. re ye lal bs 

Total for ae an acre, 18 lbs. 
This mixture, which is based upon ex- 
periments 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 graz- 
ing within two months after seeding. This 
mixture should not be used for hay produc- 
tion. 
Note: Two Ibs. of Birdsfoot Trefoil may 
be added where wanted. The birdsfoot Tre- 
foil should be ordered separately (see Price- 
List) so that it can be thoroughly inoculated 
with the special culture required and added 
to the other seeds immediately before sowing. 
For areas too wet for other pasture grasses, 
use 8 pounds of Reed’s Canary Grass per 
acre. If the soil is not actually swampy add 
2 pounds of Ladino Clover per acre.

in this mixture because it is the
