Alta Fescue. 
Alta Fescue 
An improved strain of tall fescue which was 
developed at the Oregon Agriculture Experiment 
Station. Its popularity is spreading fast be- 
cause of its excellence in pastures. The out- 
standing qualities of the grass are high yields 
of palatable forage, a long growing season, deep 
roots to allow the plants to utilize deep sub-soil 
moisture for green growth throughout the sum- 
mer, and long life. It will grow well on wet 
soil even when poorly drained, but also will 
endure drought, Should be pastured when the 
leaves are young and succulent. Because of its 
extensive root system it has the ability to pre- 
vent soil erosion in water ways and to form a 
dense turf on banks. Easily eradicated by 
plowing. Sow 15 pounds an acre with other

Olds’ Grasses 
Timothy 
(Sow 10 to 15 pounds to the acre.) 
Timothy for years has been the standard and 
most widely grown hay grass. It is indispensable 
as a hay for horses. It is an easily grown low- 
cost crop and seed is cheap. Probably the most 
profitable grass to grow where conditions permit 
its cultivation, A short lived perennial usually 
lasting four or five years. It is satisfactory for 
pasturing just a short period. 
Timothy prefers a sweet soil and thrives best 
on rich moist bottom lands and heavy types of 
soil. It is a nitrogen feeding plant and should 
follow a legume crop. 
Our timothy seed is the purest and best that 
can be obtained. It is all thoroughly recleaned 
and free from noxious weeds with high tests, 
most of it testing 99.6 per cent purity or better.

without injury. Growth begins very early in 
the spring and the grass thrives during the cool 
weather of spring and fall. The value for hay 
and pasture compares favorably with Brome 
Grass, averaging about 300 pounds more per 
acre in a season. Stands up well under close 
grazing and will provide excellent pasture at 
both ends of the season when it is most needed. 
Heavy root growth makes it splendid for con- 
trolling weeds, Seeding should be done on well 
prepared soil, preferably with a nurse crop 
especially on drier soils. Early and shallow 
planting are important. Sow fifteen pounds per

Reed Canary Grass 
BRINGS LOW GROUND INTO PRODUCTION 
Reed Canary Grass is a very valuable per-

dead waste into production of valuable forage.

as it starts very early in the spring and will 
furnish an abundance of pasture throughout the 
entire season, : 
For Hay. It makes a heavy yield of good 
quality hay better than timothy and far superior 
to wild hay. Ordinarily two or more cuttings 
can be made in a season,
