Properly managed, good pasture is the least expensive source of good dairy 
feed. Every acre should produce maximum grazing. The high-quality pasture 
seed here listed will provide the foundation for clean, heavy-producing pas- 
tures . . . help.increase milk checks, livestock weight and poultry profits. 
HIGHLAND PERMANENT 
PASTURE 
Popular heavy-producing blend, based on 
long experience. Widely used. Made up of 
quality grasses in proper proportions to 
produce heavy, lasting stands on well- 
drained, hilly or rolling land. Contains 
Blue Grass, Red Top, Orchard, Timothy, 
Ladino, other clovers, Fescues, Rye Grass. 
Sow 25 to 32 pounds per acre. 
LOWLAND PERMANENT 
PASTURE 
A special blend adapted for low, wet 
places. Includes increased portions of seeds 
that thrive in low areas. High quality. 
KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS 
A leading pasture grass for good soils. 
Responds to phosphate and lime. Growth 
rarely exceeds 2 feet. Sow 25-30 lbs. per 
acre. Slow grower; best sown with quicker 
growers. These take hold, to be replaced 
by the Kentucky to form a tough, perma- 
nent sod. Fine on sharp slopes and lime- 
stone valleys. 
‘“‘LINCOLN’”’ BROME GRASS 
Tall, leafy, vigorous, deep rooted, palat- 
able. Hardy, long lived. Slow to establish. 
Productive the second year. Spreads by 
underground rootstocks. Needs abundant 
nitrogen, best obtained by growing with 
legumes. Yields on acid soils are poor. Fine 
with alfalfa, valuable for hay . . . then 
pasture. 
Usual seeding is about 10 Ibs. Alfalfa 
and 8 to 10 Ibs. Brome. Red Clover and 
Timothy are sometimes added for heavier 
first-year growth. Sown with Ladino for 
pasture; around 10 lbs. Brome, 1 Ib. 
Ladino. Will not tolerate heavy, close graz- 
ing, but excellent pasture if controlled. 
Use only adapted seed—“Lincoln” or 
similar Southern-grown strain . . . North- 
See (lower-priced) won’t do well 
ere. 
HOW TO SOW: Don’t mix Brome— 
sow it separately; its large size will choke 
seeder. Mix with fertilizer in grain drill or 
with wheat, barley, or oats, through the 
grain compartment—stir often to keep 
seeds mixed. Often broadcast by hand. Sow 
shallow, not over % inch deep, %4 inch 
is better. Cultipacking helps.
