particularly adapted to moderately ioist or irrigated lands.

splendid hay, and affords early and abundant pasture. 
MEADOW FESCUE, or ENGLISH BLUE GRASS—oOf great value 
for permanent pasture and fur hay. Does best on irrigated

following ratio for a well balanced permanent pasture mixture: 
25% Orchard Grass; 30% Brome Grass; 20% Perennial Rye 
Grass; 17% Meadow Fescue and 8% Yellow Blossom Sweet 
Clover. Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. Sow broadcast, cover

and better hay It will stand drought or will do well in the 
shade. Orchard Grass gives a heavy tonnage in permanent 
pasture, furnishes the first green bite in the Spring and the 
last in the Fall 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS (Agropyron Smithii) — or Bluestem, 
is a long-lived perennial. Tolerant of drought and a certain 
amount of alkali. It grows rather slowly, requriing two to three 
years from time of planting to reseed. Western Wheat Grass 
produces excellent forage for grazing and hay. 
TIMOTHY—Cf hay grasses, Timothy leads all. Thrives on clay or 
henvy loams, wet or boggy soils, or in mountainous districts. 
At higher elevations where fewer grasses and clovers are adapt- 
able, Timothy is the most important hay and pasture crop. 
Alone, sow 12 pounds to the acre, or with clover, 10 pounds 
Timothy and 6 pounds clover. 
_ RED TOP—A valuable grass for moist soils. It makes a 
good permanent stand and is well adapted to pastures. It has 
been grown very successfully even on alkali and bottom land 
where many other grasses bave failed. It is used also as a lawn 
grass as it makes a fine stem and good turf. Sow 13-25 pounds 
per acre. 
DOMESTIC RYE—Valuable as a nurse crop for slow starting 
grasses. Also makes a good pasture Same year seed is sown. 
Not entirely hardy but will live several years during mild 
winters. 
SUDAN GRASS—One of the best catch crops to plant when late 
seeding is necessary. Can be cut every six weeks until frost. 
Frost kills it entirely. A real drought resister, renewing its 
growth immediately when rain comes. An enormous nay

out any danger to stock.
