Clover, gives good results. The Rye Grass comes fast. 
After oats is combined, the clover competes with 
the Rye Grass in the warmer period. Next spring is 
a heavy organic turn under for potatoes. 
FOR PASTURE IMPROVEMENT 
Ten pounds Rye Grass and 2 pounds Ladino per acre 
has been helpful in “doctoring up” old pastures. 
After adequate liming and proper fertilizing. Used 
widely as a nurse grass in pasture mixtures. 
MORE ORCHARDS Get RYE GRASS 
This use for Rye Grass is growing more each year. 
In New Jersey, a mixture of Rye Grass and Vetch is 
sometimes used. Many folks sow in the orchard to 
gain extra pasture in the spring, then disc under to 
feed tree roots. 
HELPFUL in GARDENS 
Sow after early vegetable crops. Disc or harrow the 
ground shallow. Broadcast 20 to 25 pounds Hoffman 
Rye Grass per acre. Some folks seed between rows 
of late vegetables at last cultivation. 
MAKES GOOD EXTRA PASTURE 
After a good growth of Rye Grass has been attained, 
pasturing by livestock will not hurt its cover-crop 
value. It makes fine forage for pigs and other ani- 
mals, but supplementary protein must be supplied 
in the grain ration. In one test, pigs pastured on 
Rye Grass gained.1.14 pounds daily when full-fed a 
12 per cent protein ration (corn, 87.5 pounds; tank- 
age, 6 pounds; soybean oil meal, 6 Ibs.; salt, % lb.). 
TOP QUALITY SEED for TOP RESULTS 
Hoffman Rye Grass is cleaned and recleaned to top 
degree of purity. Strong sound growth. Finest on 
the market. Weeds don’t make good cover crops. . . 
clean, vigorous Hoffman Rye Grass helps crowd 
them out. Repays its low cost many times over. 
COVER CROPS WORK IN WINTER 
They use up nitrogen made or freed from the soil during 
winter. They keep the soil alive; it does not freeze so 
quickly or deeply as bare ground .. . earthworms can work 
nearer to the surface. The ground can soak up more of the 
melting snow and rainfall. All this in addition to erosion 
protection and increased organic matter.
