BILLION S. GRASS

Agricultural Editors wrote about It,

Agr: Institute Orators talked about it,
while in the farm home by the quiet fire
side, in the corner grocery, in the village
post-ofice, at the creamery, at the depot,
in fact wherever farmers gathered, Salzer's
Billion Dollar Grass, that marvellous grass,
good for. 5 to IA tons hay per acre and
lots of pasture besides, is always theme
worthy of the farmers voice.
Then comes Bropus Inermis, than which
there is no better grass or better perma-
nent hay producer on earth. Grows wher-
ever soil is found. Then the farmer talks
about Salzer's Teosinte, which produces
100 stocks from one kernel of seed, II #.
high, IN 100 days, rich in nutrition and
greedily eaten by cattle, hogs, ETC., and is
good for so tons of green food per acre.
Victoria Rape, the luxuriant food for
hogs and sheep, which can be grown at
Csc a ton, and Speltz at Zoe a bu, both
great food for sheep, hogs and cattle, also
come in for their share in the discussion.
