YEAR-ROUND PASTURE 
Farmers are realizing more and more the value of pro- 
viding pasture for live stock on account of increaséd 
prices and the shortage of feeds. 
The following crops are recommended for use in a year- 
round pasture program by the Missouri Agricultural Ex- 
periment Station: 
1. Blue Grass pasture in late spring, early summer and 
winter. 
2. Lespedeza pasture in midsummer and late summer. 
3. Winter Barley or other grain pasture through the 
whole fall and early spring. 
Also recommended are Sweet Clover and Sudan Grass 
for summer and Crimson Clover and Vetch for fall. 
Write the College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station, Columbia, Missouri, for Circular 193 for “An 
All-Year Pasture System for Missouri.”
