RYE A SURE CROP.
Excellent for Pasturage and Adds
Humus to the Soil.

National Crop Improvement Service.1
Rye will stand cold weather much
better than oats and furnish grazing
for a longer period.
Rye is sure crop. It is good plan
to drill rye in the corn field with one
horse drill. Sufficient light will pene-
trate through the corn to encourage
growth, until the corn is cut, thus
leaving the field open to the coming
crop. Farmers will find this an ex-
cellent method to practice to insure
pasturage when it is most needed.
After it has been pastured in the fall,
1t may furnish early spring pasturage,
or it may be turned under for fertilizer.
Rye is valuable for adding humus to
the soil.
