FIELD SEEDS—(Continued) 
resisting crops. Will mature in 110 
days or following an oat or barley crop. 
Plant 8 lbs. seed per acre in 386 inch 
rows. Late planting preferred but not 
later than early July. 
HEGARI—Arizona Certified. The same 
as the above with some contention that 
it matures sooner on a slightly shorter 
stalk. Very uniform in grain and stalk. 
CANE, Japanese Honey Drip—Desirable 
for sorghum molasses and ensilage. Ma- 
tures in 125 to 140 days. The heavy, tall 
stalk makes it a heavy producer of 
fodder. Stalks are sweet with many 
joints. 
CANE, Red Top or Sumac—This has 
long been a favorite fodder crop of the 
Southwest. It will mature in 100 to 
105 days and on very little moisture. 
Barley 
CLUB MARRIOUTT—Early maturing, 
six-row, rough awned and hulled. Pro- 
duces heavy on a short stalk. Often 
planted in February and followed by 
hegari. 
CONWAY — A heavy yielding spring 
barley, developed by our own A. & M. 
College. 
TREBI—A proven crop and good pro- 
ducer in the Southwest, may be planted 
in the spring or fall. 
NEW MEXICO WINTER—Developed in 
our own State. Excellent for fall and 
winter pasture, one of our heaviest 
grain yielders. Plant from middle Aug- 
ust through November, using 70 to 100 
Ibs. seed per acre. 
Rye 
WINTER—Stools and grows well in cold 
weather, making it one of the best for 
fall and winter pasture. This crop can 
be produced on poor soil with little mois- 
ture and is often turned under for soil 
building. Plant 60 to 90 lbs. per acre 
in the middle of August for the best 
fall pasture. 
Wheat 
MARQUIS—A hard red, spring wheat. 
Standard for Western irrigated soils. 
Beardless and short stiff straw. 
TURKEY RED WINTER—The most. 
popular beard variety in the Southwest. 
Desired by millers. 
Oats 
FERGUSON RED No. 922—This variety 
has produced some of our best yields, 
often 100 bushels per acre of large heavy . 
red grain, around 40 lbs. per bushel. 
Stools more than others. Plant in Aug- 
ust and September or March and April 
using 100 lbs. seed per acre. 
TEXAS RED RUST PROOF—For years 
this has been a standard in the Pecos 
Valley where it is still a good producer. 
Not recommended for altitudes above 
6000 feet, where it will mildew. 
Pasture Grasses 
SUDAN GRASS—A fast growing an- 
nual which produces an abundance of 
summer pasture. Often cut for hay or 
will make ensilage. Requires irrigation 
in the Pecos Valley. The rainfall of 
eastern New Mexico and Western Texas 
is sufficient for this crop during most 
seasons. Plant after danger of frost, 
using 5 to 12 lbs. seed per acre in rows 
or 20 to 50 lbs. broadcast. 
SWEET SUDAN GRASS — Developed 
from the above, has a sweet stalk and 
is a heavy yielder of fodder. It stools 
more and has broader leaves than the 
common sudan. Also an annual. 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS—(standard 
strain)—-A perennial bunch grass that 
does well in high altitudes. Among the 
first to start growing in the spring. 
The fine stem makes a good pasture. 
Drouth resisting. May be planted in 
the spring or fall. 6 to 10 lbs. seed per 
acre, often used in mixtures. 
JOHNSON GRASS—A perennial classed 
as noxious in many states and constant- 
ly fought by Southern farmers but is 
valuable to the semi-arid section that 
have land subject to periodical over- 
flow where it will provide good pasture 
and hay. Responds to cultivation. 
MIXTURES—We can supply those seeds 
desired for mixtures, such as: Orchard 
Grass, Alta Fescue, Brome Grass, Mead- 
ow Fescue, Perennial English Rye, Do- 
mestic Rye and clovers, such as: Straw- 
berry, Alsike, Ladino. Your inquiries 
appreciated. 
Millets 
BIG GERMAN—The small stems and 
narrow leaves make good hay or pasture, 
quickly grown in summer months. Long 
tight heads produce abundance of grain. 
HOG MILLET or PROSO—The quickest 
making catch crop. Will mature grain 
in 45 to 50 days. Low growing sprang- 
led heads. Grain is larger than Big 
German and makes excellent poultry 
feed. Often sown for pasture and hay.
