It is a very leafy grass. Yields up to 3-5 
tons of cured hay per acre in two cuttings. 
Second crop is leafier, but not so tall. Tests 
have shown 9.43% protein in first cutting, 
11.76 in the second. A seeding lasts many 
years. Stands of 18 to 20 years are not un- 
common, yet the crop can easily be eradi- 
cated by cultivating. Seed yields of 100 to 
400 pounds per acre are obtained. 
Widely Adapted 
You may ask, “Can I grow Reed Canary 
Grass?” It is adapted from the Atlantic to 
the Pacific in the entire northern half of 
the United States and as far south as east- 
ern Tennessee. Fall seeding is perhaps 
best in southern states. Frank Litchske

A Remarkable Grass of Great Value 
For Wet Land and Also Drought Resistant 
You can grow this grass on exceedingly wet land. It can pro- 
duce a sod on boggy land strong enough to support a team and 
wagon. On the other hand at the Iowa Experiment Station in 
one of the driest and hottest years ever known, Reed Canary 
stood out like an oasis on a desert. It yielded 3 tons per acre 
where it was so dry Sudan made only half a erop.

Gordon Arbischer of Chilton, Wisconsin, 
Says he gets 1 to 3 loads per acre per cut- 
ting. Ordinarily 4 tons per acre in two cut- 
tings. Seed yields range up to 450 pounds 
per acre. Some of the land he has it on is 
subject to overflow for as long as 6 months.

When once established Reed Canary 
Grass starts growing early and stays until 
late in fall. You can get a hay and seed 
and pasture crop all during a single year.

This grass grows under a great va- 
riety of conditions. It will grow on soils}] 
so poor in lime that most other grasses 
will fail. Stands a lot of wet conditions 
too. On the other hand it is very 
drought resistant. It is a grass that 
grows fast. It is used for quick pas-| 
ture, helps prevent soil erosion on 
waterways. Is easy to get started. The 
grass grows from Canada to the Gulf, 
New York to California. It forms a turf 
quickly. It matures about the same 
time as Timothy and is often used in 
a combination with it. A seeding lasts 
for many years. The seed of Red Top 
is very small. Ten pounds per acre is} 
sufficient. Mixed four pounds per acre 
is good. Can be used as a top seeding 
on thin stands of hay or pasture lands. 
Sow early in the spring or late summer.
