GRASS ROTATION
IMPORTANT ITEM
Moisture Requirem G n t
Should. Be Considered in
Selection of Seed.
COMBINATIONS GOOD
None of Tame Variety Have
Succeeded in Many States
of Country.

Grasses have an important place In
crop rotation. In choosing the variety
of tame grass to be sown. attention
should be paid to the moisture re-
quirtments of the grass aud its adap-
tation to the particular soil in which
ii is to be planted.
Timothy. Kentucky blue grass.
meadow fesauc. iedtop, bronze, orchard,
bermuda. and tall oat grass have
a general adaptation to farm crops.
[ sually these grasses should be sown
in combination with one or more Of
the iegumes. such as alfalfa or clover.
as this improves the condition OF the
soil and adds great deal of nitrogen.
Combinations of grass that have
tcen grown successfully in some states
are 80 pounds Of timothy and !: pounds
Of mammoth or alsike clover: Il
pounds OF orchard grass and 8 pounds
Of red clover: pounds OF bronze
grass, ) pounds Of orchard grass and
q pounds Of red clover to the acre.
Mix Hail and Half.
A desirable mixture for some To-
calities Is pounds Of rcdtop. =
pounds of meadow fesquc. and s
pounds Of orchard grass. Foe others q
good combination is 10 pounds Of
| bronze grass and 10 pounds OF alfalfa.
None OF the tame grasses have SIC
| cecded in some states, except when
| planted in Very rich creek bottoms
The usual amounts Of seed per acre
when sown alone are L. pounds OF
timothy. - pounds OF Kentucky blue
grass. 20 pounds of orchard grass. l.
pounds to Is pounds of meadow
fesane, IA pounds Of redtop. 20 pounds
OF bronze grass. IS pounds OF tall Ga
grass. 10 pounds OF rcd clover. II
pounds OF mammoth clover, s pound:
of alsike. II to Is pounds OF alfalfa
When two or more varieties are sow
together it is more satisfactory to SOW
at a slightly increased rate.
