Bromegrass—“Lincoin” Type 
Bromegrass is the best grass to mix with Alfalfa if it is planned to harvest 
it partly or entirely by pasturing with cattle or sheep. 
The best time to sow Bromegrass, according to the Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station, is early spring or late summer. 
Bromegrass seed may be sown with the grain drill by mixing the seed 
with fertilizer. Sow through the fertilizer attachment very shallow. It is 
desirable for some seeds to be on the surface. Deep seeding’ is one of the 
most common causes of failure. 
Bromegrass (1 part by weight) may be mixed with Oats (4 to 6 parts) 
and sown shallow through the grain feed, but this should not be done for 
summer and fall seeding because the Oats grow so vigorously they crowd 
out the Bromegrass. 
Bromegrass in.mixture should be sown at 5 to 10 OIA Ceoee acre, with 
8 pounds of Alfalfa as a safe standard. Write for prices . - . a: 
Ladino Clover - a 
Excellent for Grazing . °° s+ ee 
“Ladino Clover is one of our most valuable pasture plants. It is highly 
productive and nutritious, and comparatively easy to grow,” says D: R. 
Peas of the Agronomy Department at the Ohio. Agricultural Experiment 
tation. 
A giant type of white Clover. Is very. much larger and much more 
drought resistant. It should be included in every seeding that is to be 
used for pasture alone, or for hay and pasture. That means that whenever 
an Alfalfa-Grass-Clover mixture is pene seeded omcrop rotation land that 
is to be used in part for pasture, Yy to 1 pound of Ladino per acre should 
be in the mixture. 
Ladino Clover seed, like that of other legumes, should be pear 
crops, so makes a greater contribution as a pasture plant than as a con- 
stituent of a hay mixture. 
Ladino Clover seed, like that of other legumes, should be inoculated 
bee seeding and the land should be well limed and fertilized. Write for
