Brome is one of the most valuable grasses for the livestock farmer. It is a 
perennial and lasts several years. During a severe drought, pastures of Blue 
Grass and other native grasses usually fade out, but Brome Grass Keeps green 
and right on growing. Starts very early in the spring. Brome is more palatable 
than other grasses. Relished by all livestock. Brome roots go down 4 or 5 feet, 
yet not difficult to eradicate. The plants grow up to 3 feet or more, depending on 
soil fertility. Stands severe winters of Canada and northern States. Does well 
on most any kind of soil. Is used extensively for the prevention of soil erosion. 
Brome Is a Superior Grass and Money Maker 
It has about the same percentage of nutritive elements as alfalfa. The carry- 
ing capacity of Brome is almost double that of Blue Grass or other native 
grasses. When Brome is sown with alfalfa or clover, it is more palatable than 
other grasses and is readily eaten by livestock, the same as the alfalfa and 
clover. If your land will not grow alfalfa, sow 3 or 4 lbs. Red Clover or Alsike 
with the Brome. Some add one pound of ‘Ladino per acre with the Brome. 
More Facts About Brome Grass 
Experiment stations have been recommending Brome Grass as a valuable 
grass. They advise sowing alfalfa or other legumes with Brome. They have 
found by sowing about 3 or 4 pounds of alfalfa with about 15 or 16 pounds of 
Brome per acre, it increases the hay tonnage around 25 per cent over straight 
Brome Grass. States from Nebraska to New York State all recommend Brome, 
and Brome and legumes mixed. 
For a pasture, some farmers add sweet clover to their mixture of Brome, Al- 
falfa and other Clovers. A brome legume combination will care for more live- 
stock per acre than any straight grass or mixture. Never any trouble with 
livestock bloating when a good percentage of Brome is in the pasture.

For a Good Stand 
Prepare a good solid seed bed as you would for alfalfa. Brome is light seed 
and does not feed readily through a drill. Mixing some cracked corn, oats or 
sand with the Brome and Keeping it stirred act as an agitator in working it 
through the drill or seeder. Some use an end gate seeder. Some sow by hand 
on a still day. Cover seed lightly, about % to % inch deep. If possible, roll 
after seeding. It is slow in starting and does not make a big showing the first 
year. Best results are obtained by sowing with some alfalfa. 

BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL — BROADLEAF TYPE 
"POOR LAND ALFALFA"—New Legume 
$107.40 Bu. (60 Ibs.) —$108.00 Bu. F.O.B. Ohio 
Birdsfoot Trefoil is a comparatively new crop but is fast becoming: one of 
‘our most popular pasture legumes. It will thrive on soil of medium to thin 
fertility; is very high in feeding value; it lasts for many years; and is a good 
soil builder. We recommend using Birdsfoot Trefoil in pasture Mixtures or 
for renovating thin worn out pastures. Is unexcelled for use with Brome, 
Alta Fescue, Orchard Grass and other pasture grasses. Use about 3 to 5 lbs. 
per acre in combination with these grasses. This is the Broadleaf type and is 
hardy for any area. Seed is very scarce this year which accounts for the rather 
high price. Get started now with this valuable crop. Called “Poor Land Al- 
falfa” because of its ability to grow on soils of poor fertility. Write for our 
free circular on Birdsfoot Trefoil.
