Many Farmers Ovedooked This Money Gran 
Hundreds of farmers wrote us the past year asking if we could supply them 
with these new strains of native Brome Grass grown in Kansas and Nebraska. 
The demand for this drought-resistant grass has increased 1,000 per cent in past 
5 years. We were fortunate in securing our stock early and hope we have enough 
to take care of our trade. 
Brome Grass is a long-lived perennial. When mixed with Clover or Alfalfa it 
has no equal for hay or pasture. Used extensively for the prevention of soil ero- 
sion. Some states are using Brome Grass to protect the right of way against ero- 
sion. One grower in Illinois harvested 700 pounds of seed per acre. 
New Strain Proved Superior 
During the drought years 9 or 10 years ago is when Brome started to attract 
attention, Pastures of Blue Grass and other native grasses: were destroyed or 
severely injured, but stands of Brome Grass survived. In Iowa the new strain 
3rome proved its superiority to Blue Grass. It could be grazed earlier in the 
spring and had a shorter dormant period in the hot weather in midsummer. Brome 
Grass has about the same percentage of nutritive elements as Alfalfa. One farmer 
experienced in growing Brome Grass, counts on one acre per head from first part of 
April until the grass is covered with snow in early winter. The superiority of 
this Brome Grass proves conclusively it is a very profitable crop. : 
Where Adapted ® 
In making experiments and trials. of the New Strain Brome Grass, they have 
found this New Strain better adapted to some sections of the country. It has 
proved more productive in states like Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Ken- 
tucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, In Iowa it made a taller growth 
than the northern seed. It has greater resistance to hot weatlier. Farmers are 
more successful in getting stands. 
Brome Grass Sown with Legumes 
Experiments prove it is more profitable to sow this New Strain Brome with 
Alfalta or Clover. When Alfalfa and Clover are sown with other grasses, live stock 
will eat the Alfalfa or Clover and pass up the grasses. Not so with Brome. Brome 
is more palatable than other grasses and is,readily eaten by live stock, the same as 
Alfalfa and Clover, Alfalfa and Brome mixed, will usually last longer than some 
Other mixtures. Some say it pays to add a-pound of Ladino Clover with Brome. 
‘ Start Growing Brome Now 
Now is the time to start growing this New Strain Brome Grass. You might have some dry 
seasons in the next two years. By that time you would have a nice field of Brome or Brome and 
legumes. It will prove a real money maker. If you do not think your land will grow Alfalfa, 
sow Red or Alsike Clover with it. When Brome is sowed with Alfalfa or: Clovers, it makes a 
better quality of hay. When used for pasture there is not much danger of live stock bloating. 
When sown alone for hay or pasture, sow 16 to 20 lbs. per acre. Some sow 10 Ibs, Brome with 
5 or 6 lbs. Alfalfa, or Alfalfa and Red Clover mixed. Sow about 3 pecks or one bushel oats 
with the seed. Brome should only have a shallow covering,

More Facts 
About 
Brome Grass 
One Nebraska farmer livifig 
about 50 miles from the Iowa 
line reports he has 80 acres ot 
special strain Brome Grass-Al- 
falfa mixture used for hay and 
for cattle and hog pasture, He 
says it decreases the need for 
protein supplement and is worth 
$50.00 to $60.00 per acre as hog 
pasture. 
Another Nebraska farmer 
about 30 miles from the Iowa 
line says he is increasing his 
acreage of Brome and Alfalfa 
because an acre of this combi- 
nation will produce more beet 
than acre of corn. 
The Pennsylvania State Col- 
lege, Dept. of Agronomy, reports 
they have tried a few strains of 
Brome Grass in their test and 
have. generally found that the 
strains from Kansas and Ne- 
braska were better than what 
they have gotten from the far 
north, Our New Strain Brome 
comes from these states. 
The Illinois Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station reports that the 
strains from Nebraska, Kansas, 
Illinois and Towa are better 
adapted in general than Brome 
from the far northern territories, 
ALFALFA and BROME MIXTURE 
60% Hardy Alfalfa 
40% No. 1 Brome Grass 
$14.40—50 lbs. 
Here is the right kind of Alfalfa-Brome Mixture 
for big profits. This combination is recommended 
by many agricultural advisors. Alfalfa and Brome 
put the right finish on livestock. Alfalfa feeds 
nitrogen to the Brome. The deep fibrous Brome 
roots aid Alfalfa in holding the soil. They last 
longer when sown together. Will produce 25% 
to 40% more hay than Brome sown alone. Farmers 
in the corn-belt report larger yields of corn and 
oats after plowing up Alfalfa and Brome. 
This mixture is the right proportion. Is 60% Pin- 
nacle Brand Corn-Belt Alfalfa and 40% of No: 1 
Brome Grass. Brome seed is light and we have to 
ship in separate bags, as they will not stay mixed 
properly in same bag. 
Price: 50 lbs. of Mixture—30 Ibs. Alfalfa—20 Ibs. 
Brome, $14.40. 100 lbs.—60 lbs. Alfalfa—40 Ibs. 
Brome, $28.70.
