Birdsfoot Trefoil. 4 long-lived hardy forage legume adapted 
to a wide range of soil conditions and ideally suited to use as hay 
and pasture for long-term seedings. 
Timothy. Most valuable of all the grasses, especially in the North. 
It is better adapted to clay than to sandy soils and is at its best 
on moist and fertile soils. 
Red -Top. No other grass will grow under as great a variety 
of conditions as Red-Top and will thrive on almost every type 
of soil except sand. It is a rapid grower and its chiefly used as a 
wet-land or sour-land hay-crop, often with Alsike and as a pasture 
grass on damp soils. 
Kentucky Blue Grass. This is the most valuable grass for 
permanent pastures and lawns. It is hardy and thrives under 
heavy grazing. Soils of the moderately moist, medium to heavy 
types which produce the best Timothy are well suited for Ken- 
tucky Blue Grass. 
Orchard Grass. A long-lived perennial that gets its name 
from its ability to grow in the partial shade of orchards and open 
woodlots. Its principal use is for pasture and hay under shady 
or dry conditions. 
Brome Grass. An erect perennial with strong creeping root- 
stalks. Makes a thick firm turf and thrives well on dry, loose 
soil. Seeded with Alfalfa, 8 pounds of each per acre, it makes 
good summer pasture or hay crop.

Reed s Canary Grass. A hardy native perennial which is 
attracting wide attention as a forage crop because of its ability 
to grow well on lands too wet for the common farm crop.

Domestic Rye Grass. A winter annual, recommended for a 
winter cover-crop. Twenty pounds per acre sown broadcast at 
the last cultivation of corn will produce a real sod. The amount 
of root growth is several times that of Rye and helps to prevent 
washing and to mmprove soil conditions after a Rye-grass cover- 
crop is plowed. 
Sudan Grass. A quick-growing annual grass that has few equals 
as an emergency pasture during dry spells.

For best growth, and to put atmospheric nitrogen in the soil, it pays to 
inoculate all legumes. The cost is trivial compared with the profit. Legumes 
are clovers, peas and beans, alfalfa, soy beans, vetches and other plants that 
grow seeds in a pod. Their roots are the home of bacteria that draw fertility- 
building nitrogen from the air and store it in swellings on the roots, called 
nodules. These nodules not only feed nitrogen to the crop they are on, but rot 
in the ground and supply valuable nitrogen to the soil.
