A Many-Purpose Grass. Seeding 
Every year farmers are lIearning more about using 
erasses. Articles in farm papers and demonstrations of 
pastures and meadows are showing how profitable grasses 
can be. The value of grass in soil erosion work is now 
more thoroughly appreciated than ever before. We are 
all becoming conscious of farms going down the river, 
and we can stop most of that with grasses. We would 
not attempt to go into the matter of soil erosion controls... 
Most everyone realizes that waterways 
should be seeded down. This Master Mix- 
ture serves that purpose and in addition it 
is a great mixture for pasture, as well as for 
meadows. It is a mixture of grasses only, 
without clover. Many need such a mixture 
and want no clovers, others have clovers of 
their own to add to grasses. This Master 
Mixture is seeding that gives very satis- 
factory results and yet is economical to use. 
Making Pastures Pay 
A lot more food can be produced in this 
country if the pastures are improved. The 
quality and quantity both can be improved 
by following good pasture practices. Your 
State Experiment Station can probably give 
you Bulletins for your particular area, You 
ean improve old pastures by diseing, har- ¢ 
rowing and reseeding. The use of fertilizers 5 
will pay in practically every instance. The : 
most common things needed are lime and 
phosphates. 1 or 2 tons of ground limestone 
and up to 600 pounds of 20% Super Phos- 
phate are a big help. 150 pounds of Muriat 
of Potash, and in some cases Nitrates are 
helpful. If you have well rotted manure it is 
about as good as you can use. Plan to seed 
with a good grass combination like this 
Master Mixture or some of the other mix- ; 
tures listed in our Catalog. Be sure your | 
seed bed is well prepared. Do not cover the 
seed deeply. Roll the ground if possible 
after seeding. If there is quite a little Blue 
Grass on your land, 10 to 12 pounds of this 
mixture is good, otherwise 18 to 25 pounds 
for a new seeding. You can produce a lot of 
beef on nothing but pasture if you will 
make your pastures good. 
Mixed Grasses and-Clove 
This is a combination of grasses and clovers that has given our 
customers very satisfactory results. The seeding cost is low. It only 
requires 15 to 20 pounds to the acre. A seeding lasts several years. 
It produces a fine quality and a wide variety of feed. By using this 
combination you can get a longer pasture season, Some of the crops 
in it start early, others grow through hot weather and late into the 
fall. Some stand wet conditions, others can take a lot of drouth. 
Under almost any conditions it can give you a stand. It is highly 
productive and of excellent value. This mixture contains 4 grasses 
which make up 55% and 8 clovers totaling about 45%. The grasses 
in the mixtures are, Perennial Rye Grass, Meadow Fescue, Orchard 
Grass and Timothy. These are combined with about 10% of Alsike 
and the rest in Sweet Clover and Korean Lespedeza. The Perennial 
Rye Grass gives you a fast growing grass that provides a quick 
green growth. Rep Top also comes along quite rapidly and the two 
together provides early feed. The Orchard Grass, Meadow Fescue 
and Timothy follow a little later. They are 
adapted to a wide range of soils and make a 
splendid combination. The Clovers are generally 
ready to pasture by mid-summer, They supply 
nitrogen so that the grasses are improved in feed- 
ing value. The clovers provide high protein feed. 
All grasses are perennials. The Korean Clover is 
an annual, but it generally reseeds itself unless 
the season is too short. Sweet Clover is a two year 
crop and it, too, nearly always reseeds when used 
as a pasture. Thus the legumes afford you high 
protein feed. It will build up your land and in- 
erease the value of the grasses that grow with it. 
This mixture gives you a lot of feed value at a 
very reasonable cost.

This mixture consists of 6 grasses. Brome grass which > pie: 
is a very palatable crop of high feeding value. It stands - 
drought exceptionally well. Kentucky Blue Grass is well 
known for its feeding qualities. It grows early and late 
and is a great pasture grass. The Orchard Grass is one of 
the first to start in the spring and combines well in a 
mixture. The Timothy is a wonderful all purpose grass 
and you are almost certain to get a stand of it. Red Top 
‘is a fast growing perennial that grows on 
most any kind of land. It takes hold on 
spots of poor soil. The Meadow Fescue or ; 
English Blue Grass will do well on many © 
soils and is especially good on moist land. 
These crops are all described in this book. is 

When you plant a variety of grasses like — 
this, livestock like it better. They appre- 
ciate a variety. There are other advan- 
tages in sowing this mixture, All of them 
are perennials and will last a good many 
years from one seeding. Some of them start 
extremely early in the spring. Some of them 
will stand drouth better than others. You 
have here grasses that will stand both wet 
and drouth, and that are suitable for a wide 
range of soil. You can use this for water- 
way seeding, on terraces or in any regular 
pasture combination. You can also get a 
good hay crop from this seeding but it is 
more widely used for pasture,

You can get a very low seeding cost by using our Grow-Quick 
Mixture. This is one of our biggest selling combinations, You can 
get good quality seed at a very reasonable cost. You can begin 
pasturing this mixture quite early, The Rye Grass in it is a fast 
grower and affords the earliest feed. The Perennial Rye Grass 
stays longer than Domestic. As the summer progresses, the Sweet 
Clover and Korean come on and that tends to increase the carrying 
capacity while the Timothy, of course, comes along toward the fall. 
The Korean Clover will reseed for next year unless the season is too 
short. As the Sweet Clover and Timothy live over winter they can be 
used next year for plowing under for fertilizer, or continued for 
That makes a

low cost for any seeding containing 50% Legumes. 
Tf you are going to be short on pasture and want 
something you can start pasturing quite early, we 
recommend this as a good selection. 
You can sow this combination about the same 
time you would sow small grain. We do not espe- 
cially recommend a nurse crop. If you want to 
sow some oats with it that is ok. Pasture the oats 
along with the Rye Grass while the Timothy, 
Korean Clover and Sweet Clover are getting 
started. We would not advise, however, over a 
bushel of oats to the acre.
