wheat bran. Sow any time before June 26th at the rate of 
10 to 12 pounds per acre, broadcast. It forms a sod rapidly 
through the spreading of underground roots. Makes your 
lowlands grow profitable crops.

manent pasture. Succeeds well on almost any SOllm DUtmis 
particularly adapted to moderately moist or irrigated lands. 
Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre in spring. 
BROME GRASS (Bromus Inermis)—Yields enormous crops of 
splendid hay, and affords early and abundant pasture. 
MEADOW FESCUE, or ENGLISH BLUE GRASS—Of great value 
for permanent pasture and for hay. Does best on irrigated 
land. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURE—We highly recommend the 
following ratio for a well balanced permanent pasture mix- 
ture: 25% Orchard Grass; 30% Brome Grass; 20% Perennial 
“Rye Grass; 17% Meadow Fescue and 8% Yellow Blossom 
Sweet Clover. Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre. Sow broadcast, 
cover lightly and keep wet until well started. 
ORCHARD GRASS—Often sown with Alfalfa to give a stronger 
and better hay. It will stand drought or will do well in the 
shade. Orchard Grass gives a heavy tonnage in permanent 
pasture, furnishes the first green bite in the spring and the 
last in the fall. 
WESTERN WHEAT GRASS (Agropyron Smithii)—or Bluestem, 
is a long-lived perennial. Tolerant of drought and a certrain 
amount of alkali. It grows rather slowly, requiring two to 
three years from time of planting to reseed. Western Wheat 
Grass produces excellent forage for grazing and hay. 
TIMOTHY—Of hay grasses, Timothy leads all. Thrives on clay 
or heavy loams, wet or boggy soils, or in mountainous dis- 
tricts. At higher elevations where fewer grasses and clovers 
are adaptable, Timothy is the most important hay and pas- 
ture crop. Alone, sow 12 pounds to the acre. or with clover, 
10 pounds Timothy and 6 pounds clover. 
RED TOP —A valuable grass for moist soils. It makes a gzood 
permanent stand and is well adapted to pastures. It has 
been grown very successfully even on alkali and bottom land 
where many other grasses have failed. It is used also as a 
lawn grass as it makes a fine stem and good turf. Sow 15-25 
pounds per acre. 
SUDAN GRASS—One of the best catch crops to plant when late 
seeding is necessary. Can be cut every six weeks until frost.
