- Can’t say too much for this dandy fall 
“Good But Cheap” Pasture Mixture. I 
offered it last fall for the first time for 
fall planting and it caught on like wild- 
fire. The best combinations of grasses 
” bat and clovers for fall planting results are

*buffer strips, 
included in this mixture. Kentucky Blue, 
Red Top, Rye Grass, Timothy, etc. in the 
grasses, and in the clovers—Red Clover, 
Alfalfa, etc. All mixed in just the right 
proportion to give lots of feed pasture 
on all types of soil. Seed a bushel to 
every 3 or 4 acres. Plant any time from 
- the middle of August to September, or 
plant it late fall just before the ground 
freezes. It is far cheaper to use this 
special mixture than to buy grasses and 
elovers separately and mix them yourself. 
Best Corn in the Country 
Rc ES ARES ORE ET ORE Kemeny 
“Dear Mr. Field: Wish you could see our 
corn. Bought your Hybrid seed corn last 
spring and have 11 acres of the best corn 
around this part of the country.”—Mr. & 
Mrs. George Barton, Rt. 2, Box 71, Marsh- 
field, Missouri. 
Reed Canary Grass for Fall 
he months of August and September 
are ideal for fall planting of Reed Canary 
Grass. Couldn’t recommend anything 
better for you for waterway plantings 
along ditches and swales in contour 
plantings. Best, too, for wet low spots 
in pastures. ' 
Iowa State and other colleges agree 
that Reed Canary is a good grass on 
upland soil as well as the low lying spots. 
Plant plenty of it. It is a perennial. It 
will last for years after it becomes estab- 
lished. and makes fine pasture or hay, 
either one, 
«heck which is very important 
All of our Reed Canary seed is bright 
elean new crop from northern Minnesota 
from extra hardy fields, good germina- 
tion and ready to grow for you. Plant 
5 to 6 pounds per acre. If you want to, 
_add a few pounds of Timothy and a 
pound or two of Alsike per acre along 
with your Reed Canary planting. 
Brome Grass Leads the 
Parade for Fall Planting 
Ten times as much Brome is fall 
planted from early August through Octo- 
‘ber as in the spring of the year, or if 
you prefer, plant it just before the 
ground freezes in the fall and this late 
planted Brome will be up early—way 
before you can work the ground in the 
spring. 4 
‘Smooth Brome acreage has been grow- 
ing by leaps and bounds because of its 
high value as a livestock feed, for hay, 
as a pasture, as a seed crop, and to check 
soil erosion. The tough fiberous roots 
ean take lots of punishment and still 
turn out tons of high quality feed per 
acre. As a planting for cultivated slopes, 
headlands and roadside 
planting it has no equal. Not only that, 
but by planting this long lived perennial 
_grass you can have pasture over a period 
of 8 months in spring, early summer and 
late fall. 
It is a proven fact that Brome will 
carry more livestock through a longer 
grazing period than any other grass and. 
all kinds of livestock like it. Figure 20 
‘Ibs. per acre, and have a smooth firm 
seed bed the same as you would use for 
alfalfa. Roll in to cover and then cross 
oll again if possible. Planting depth 4%
