year round pasture, hay and silo grass forthe South, It is 
a perennial grass attaining a height of from 2% to 3 feet.

extensive root system is being developed, but should be 
rapid and vigorous after that time. Alta Fescue is adapted 
to nearly all soils in the South that will retain the needed 
moisture and is particularly tolerant to wet and even over- 
flowing land. When planted with clovers for mixed pasture 
it will greatly eurtail clover bloat.. 
The seeds may be sown froni September to December and 
again in February and March.. Fall planting, however, is 
recommended. Sow at the rate of 10 to 15 Ibs. of seeds

823 (Certified), Kentucky 31 is a perennial bunch grass 
similar to Orchard Grass but with more of a spreading habit. 
of growth. Unhke Orchard Grass the bunches increase in 
size and it eventttally makes a close tight sod. It puts up 
blades in great numbers with-<possibly the greatest rate of 
growth in the late Summer, Fall and Winter when it stays 
noticeably greener than other perennials. It is best suited 
for use as a permanent pasture grass since it improves with 
age and builds up a heavy dense sod that prevents erosion, 
and holds up livestock in wet, muddy weather, and pro- 
duces large amounts of succulent pasture the year around. 
Its palatability is much improved when it grows with a 
sood legume. It will grow almost anywhere but the better 
the soil, the better the grass. It is particularly suited to wet 
ground and will survive water standing on it for weeks at a 
time. It also grows well on high ground and stands drought 
well. A well prepared seed bed is advised but not abso- 
lutely necessary. ,Sow between Mid-August to Mid-October. 
Plant 10 to 20 pounds to the acre depending on whether a 
dense sod is desired or not. Grows well with Ladino Clover.

permanent grazing grasses for the South. A perennial 
spreading by creeping stems which root at every joint, thus 
forming a close, compact turf. Compared with Bermuda 
Grass, Carpet Grass is ifs equal in feeding value; it may be 
grazed considerably later in the fall and earlier in the 
spring; it does better on poor, sandy soils and furnishes 
more grazing; it is better adapted to wet sour soils and 
thrives better under hot, humid conditions,. Like Bermuda, 
it is palatable and relished by all livestock.

grazing and heavy trampling; in fact, it grows best and 
spreads more rapidly when closely grazed and trampling 
seems to improve it. Can be sown over your present 
pasture, creek bottom, or cut-over woodland without plow- 
ing or discing. Produces practically year-round succulent 
green pasture. Easily eradicated by plowing. it does splen- 
didly sown with Lespedeza, Dallis Grass, Black Medic, White 
Clover and Bur Clover. Carpet Grass can be grown wher-

sowings are conducted during Sept., Oct. and Nov. It is a 
drought#esisting grass and furnishes fine grazing during 
long dry spells, when all other grasses are dead. Carpet

845 Giant Blue Panicum is a marvel among pasture 
grasses. It is a deep-rodted perennial bunch grass, that 
forms good sized, tough crowns by means of thick, short, 
bulbous rhizones. The plants may reach a height of six 
feet under the best of growing conditions. The bottom half 
of the sfem has large nodes and body internodes. Branch- 
ing from the lower nodes is common if the main stem is cut 
off. The panicles are terminal on the stems and branches. 
It doesn’t make much growth for the first several months 
during which time it is building a root system. After it 
gets the roots well established it grows amazingly fast 
and is resistant to drought, It prefers heavy loam soils of 
high fertility and needs irrigation if annual rainfall is 
under 25 inches, 
_ Panicum is a sweet grass used for hay and pasture. It 
is rich in protein and food value and: yields per acre more 
than double that of Alfalfa. Seed should be planted in
