36 THE SNOWY RANGE SEED & HARDWARE COMPANY 
Alfalfa 
LADAK ALFALFA 
Shows promise of resistance to wilt. It is hardy 
and produces a heavy first cutting, recovers slow- 
ly after cutting, but again makes rapid growth. 
Ladak is recommended for short season areas 
where two cuttings would be maximum and where 
water for irrigation is short. It is replacing 
‘Meeker Baltic—the supply of which is uncertain. 
RANGER ALFALFA 
Is a synthetic variety developed by compositing 
five strains. The origin of the strains was inbred 
lines subsequently outcrossed among other sel- 
ected lines from Cossack-Turkestan and Ladak 
varieties. Ranger was developed cooperatively by 
the Nebraska Experiment Station and the Division 
of Forage Crops and Diseases, U. S. D. A. It is 
resistant to bacterial wilt, is winter hardy and 
has variegated flower color with a limited number 
of yellow colored flowers. Ranger Syn 1 and Syn 
2 have yielded well in tests in Colorado. 
LESPEDEZA (Korean Clover) 
Lespedeza grows on poor soils and increases the 
fertility as well as improves the physical condi- 
tion of the soil. It is an annual but will reseed 
itself each year so that only one sowing is neces- 
sary for permanent pasture, For pasture about 8 
pounds of seed is required per acre. On tilled land 
for hay or for a seed crop 10 to 12 pounds per 
acre should be sown. Korean Lespedeza is palata- 
ble to all classes of livestock, particularly cattle. 
LADINO CLOVER 
Is regarded as a tall form of White Dutch 
Clover. It is a low growing, leafy plant with suc- 
culent and somewhat coarse stems. Sow in the 
spring or fall, sow 7 to 8 pounds per acre. 
Rye 
Seed Rye 
SPRING RYE 
Is an excellent soiler and can be produced on poor, 
worn out land under dry conditions where other 
grains would fail. It is useful as a cleansing crop 
for the purpose of eradicating wild oats. Makes 
early pasture and may be cut and cured for hay. 
When sown with vetch its value for pasture and 
hay is greatly enhanced. 
WINTER OR FALL RYE 
Serves a very useful purpose for pasture and 
hay. May be sown in spring and summer as well 
as fall. When Winter Rye is sown after frost it 
goes into the following season before maturing, 
making it a biennial. 
Oats 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; 
on dry land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
COLORADO 37 
A mid-season white oat similar to Swedish Select, 
except for fewer awns, higher yield and stiffer 
straw. Adapted to the irrigated sections of north- 
ern Colorado and the cooler regions of other 
sections. 
Barley 
(ASK FOR PRICES) 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; 
on dry land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
BEECHER 
A semi-smooth awned barley that has outyielded 
Club Mariout or Flynn over 25 per cent at the 
U. S. Dryland Station at Akron, Also shows a 
better bushel weight. Stiff strawed. Adapted to 
dryland conditions. 
LIcoO 
This is a high yielding barley, very much like 
Trebi except that it is smooth awned. 
TREBI 
This is a  six-rowed, bearded, hulled barley 
adapted to irrigated conditions. At the Fort 
Collins Experiment Station it outyielded all other 
barleys in a six-year test. Though it is a rough 
awned variety it has the advantages over coast 
barley in that the awns thresh free from the 
grain, thus eliminating considerable danger in 
feeding. 
Sudan Grass 
Sudan is an annual and requires replanting each 
year, and dies with the first frost in the fall; is 
closely related to Sorghums (Milo, Maize, Kafir 
Corn, etc.), but yields far more abundantly than 
any of these and the hay has more fattening pro- 
perties. There is no other forage crop known that 
will resist»drought like Sudan and it is therefore 
particularly adapted to semi-arid regions, yet it 
yields immense crops under irrigation and rainy 
climates. It may be broadcast 25 to 30 pounds of 
seed per acre or in rows 10 to 12 pounds. Cut for 
hay when fully headed, Under favorable condi- 
tions two cuttings of hay may be obtained. 
On irrigated land, sow 60 to 90 pounds per acre; 
on dry land, 40 to 50 pounds. 
Millet 
Millet is a wonderful forage and hay crop. It 
affords a quick, luxuriant growth of hay of good 
feeding value and requires no cultivation. Millet 
may be fed green or cured. The value of Millet for 
late planting and emergency crops after others 
fail should not be overlooked. They can be planted 
late in July and still make considerable forage. 
Sow about 20 pounds to the acre. 
WHITE WONDER 
A variety which has taken the place of common 
millet and has qualities superior to other var- 
ieties. It is early, the heads are very large and 
long, and the foliage is heavy yet easily cured. 
MANITOBA OR HOG 
A valuable peculiarity of Hog Millet is that seed 
ripens while the hay is yet green, which, if cured 
at the proper time can be threshed for seed, while 
the hay makes excellent fodder after being 
threshed. 
SIBERIAN OR RED RUSSIAN 
Earlier, more hary, rustproof, and less liable 
to damage by insects, an extremely heavy crop- 
per; stalks tall, and of finer quality than any 
other sort. Best variety for hay. 
GERMAN OR GOLDEN 
This is one of the best forage plants grown in 
this country. Under ordinary conditions will pro- 
duce from 4 to 5 tons of hay per acre, and from 
50 to 75 bushels of seed. When sown early it 
leaves the ground in splendid condition for wheat.
