SPECIAL MIXTURES FOR SPECIAL NEEDS 
A COMBINATION OF DIFFERENT 

A Many-Purpose Grass Seeding 
Every year farmers are learning more about using 
grasses. Articles in farm papers and demonstrations of 
pastures and meadows are showing how profitable grasses 
can be. The value of grass in soil erosion work is now 
more thoroughly appreciated than even before. We are 
all becoming conscious of farms going down the river, 
and we can stop most of that with grasses. We would 
not attempt to go into the matter of soil erosion controls, 
Most everyone realizes that waterways 
should be seeded down. This Master Mix- 
ture serves that purpose and in addition it 
is a great mixture for pasture, as well as for 
meadows. It is a mixture of grasses only, 
without clover. Many need such a mixture 
and want no clovers, others have clovers of 
their own to add to grasses. This Master 
Mixture is seeding that gives very satis- 
factory results and yet is economical to use.

Making Pastures Pay 
A lot more food can be produced in this 
country if the pastures are improved. The 
quality and quantity both can be improved 
by following good pasture practices. Your 
State Experiment Station can probably give 
you Bulletins for your particular area. You 
can improve old pastures by discing, har-+ 
rowing and reseeding. The use of fertilizers 
will pay in practically every instances: The 
most common things needed are lme--and 
phosphates. 1 or 2 tons of ground limestone 
and up to 600 pounds of 20% Super:Phos= 
phate are a big help. 150 pounds of: Muriat 
of Potash, and in some cases Nitrates-are 
helpful. If you have well rotted. manure ttais

Grass, Red Top, Rye Grass and Timothy. These are combined with

serves as a nurse crop although a light seeding of grain can. be 
used if desired. The rapid growth of this grass is something’ you 
will like very much. Red Top also comes quite rapidly. It is a fast 
grower making these two provide early feed. The Korean Clover 
and Sweet Clover are generally ready to pasture 
by mid-summer and on until late fall. The Tim: 
othy and the Blue Grass also add to the fall 
pasture. All of these grasses are perennials: ex- 
cepting Rye Grass. The Korean Clover is an an- 
nual, but it generally reseeds itself unless the sea- 
son is too short. Sweet Clover is a two year crop

WITHOUT ANY CLOVERS 
The Character of Master Mixture 
This Mixture contains the Kentucky Blue_ Grass, 
¥ which is well known for its fine seeding value and excel- 
lent adaptability to pasture purposes. It contains Brome 
grass which is very nutritious. High in feeding value. 
Deep rooted and permanent. It is also highly drouth 
resistant. Crested Wheat grass, too, gives you excellent 
drouth resistance and extreme winter hardiness. Timothy 
is used to afford some bigger growth while some of the 
’ other grasses are getting started. That also 
is the purpose of Red Top. This Red Top 
as you may know grows on very poor soils, 
also stands a lot of washing. There is Reed 
Canary grass in this Mixture which is a 
grass that stands a lot of water and like- 
wise is a good drouth resister. You will find 
descriptions of all of these grasses in this 
book. 
When you plant a variety of grasses like 
this, livestock like it better. They appre- 
ciate a variety. There are other advan- 
tages in sowing this mixture. All of them 
are perennials and will last a good many 
years from one seeding. Some of them start 
extremely early in the spring. Some of them 
will stand drouth better than others. You 
have here grasses that will stand both wet 
and drouth, and that are suitable for a wide 
range of soil. You can use this for water- 
way seeding, on terraces or in any regular 
pasture combination. You can also get a 
good hay crop from this seeding but it is 
more -widely used for pasture.

Clover. :

ERS Balance Grasses 
You-tan get-a very low seeding cost by using our Grow-Quick 
Mixturés-This is.one of our biggest selling combinations. You can 
get poodquality seed at a very reasonable cost. You can begin 
pasturing: this.mixture quite early. The Rye Grass in it is a fast 
grower and affords the earliest feed. It should not be pastured too 
heavily-but.as the summer progresses, the Sweet Clover and Korean 
come-on. and that tends to increase the carrying capacity while the 
Timothy, of course, comes along toward the fall. The Korean Clover 
will. reseed for next year unless the season is too short. As the 
Sweet Clover and Timothy live over winter they can be used next 
year'for plowing under for fertilizer, or continued for pasture, or cut 
for: hay. The seeding cost is under $2.00 an acre. That is a low cost 
for any seeding containing 50% Legumes. If you 
are going to be short on pasture and want some- 
thing you can start pasturing quite early, we rec- 
ommend this.as a good selection, 
_ You can sow this combination about the same 
time you would sow small grain. We do not espe- 
cially recommend a nurse crop. If you want to 
sow some oats with it that is ok. Pasture the oats 
along with the Rye Grass early while the Korean 
Clover and Sweet Clover are getting started. We 
would not advise, however, over a bushel of oats
