THE BOOM IS ONIN 
GRASSLAND FARMING! 
Never in the history of American Agriculture has there been such a surge of wide-spread interest, 
as in the present boom in Grassland Farming. The backbone of Grassland Farming is greater use of 
hay and pasture crops, and to meet mushrooming demand for approved pasture seedings, we offer 
these new recommended mixtures for specific soil types and moisture conditions. 
Different types of pasture are needed to sup- 
ply sufficient livestock forage during various 
months of the growing season. PERMANENT 
PASTURE is not adapted to other purposes. 
It's often rocky, swampy, steep or wooded, but 
it can often be improved by renovation. 
ROTATION PASTURE is land devoted to graz- 
ing for a year or two. Your crop rotation 
schedule and pasture needs determine how 
long you'll graze this land. TEMPORARY 
PASTURE is needed for temporary period in 
early spring, mid-summer, or late fall. 
Different mixtures of legumes and grasses 
are needed for various soil types, moisture 
and fertility conditions. Below you'll find mix- 
tures to fit every pasture need. Select the 
ones that are best adapted to your conditions. 
They contain Master Farmer Quality seeds 
that are properly cleaned, tested and ‘‘Chem- 
Coated" to provide quicker, heavier stands. 
They're packaged in 1 acre and 5 acre quan- 
tities — there’s no figuring to do — they're 
ready to sow! SEE BLUE FIGURE PRICE LIST.
