High Beef Yields
From New Pasture
Grass in Maryland

A revolutionary type of pasture
Grass that produces phenomenal
gains Of beef per acre IS now rec
commended for use in Maryland.
Announcements of the recommended
use of Midland Bcrmuda3rasS for
pastures in this area was made by
DR. r. F. Wagner at a meeting OF
the Maryland Crop Improvement
Assn. in Baltimore Dr. Wagner is
head OF the University Of Maryland
agronomy department.
Midland Bermudagrass repre-
SCENTS an entirely new idea for pas,
ture production in Maryland. 1t is
based on the use of a summer per
ennial grass overseeded with rye
and fortified with high nitrogen
rates. Never before in the research
program of the Maryland Agricul-
tural Experiment Station have such
large beef gains been obtained from
any type of pasture" DR.. Wagner
said.
In grazing trials near Upper Mari.
boro, Midland was overseeded with
rye the fall of 1856 and again in
1857. This combination produced 70S
pounds of beef per acre in 1857 and

Unlike orchardFrass. bluegrass

lures in MARYLAND Midland is most
productive during the summer
months. points out Dr. A. M Deck

variety starts growth in the spring
about May IS and continues to grow
throughout the summer It slows
down in the cool weather of late
September and October and be-
comes dormant after the first kill

Midland pasture in late September
or early October. it provides excel

grazed almost continuously from
