. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. tiveaess and ability to grow, thrive and produce abundant crops of pasturage and hay in dry, semi-arid sections and localities where other grasses fail signally. It is hardy almost be- yond comparison and is not affected by drouth, will not winter-kill and cannot be flooded out. It grows as well in low, swampy places as in the lighter dry upland where other grasses fail. Phis enables every farmer to make productive, portions of the farm that would otherwise be waste land. It has been found that the yield is greater than alfalfa; that it will produce heavy crops on the lightest of soils; that one seeding will last under ordinary conditions for 12 years; that it grows best when seeded alone and not in combination with other grains, and that the food value when converted into hav is superior to timothy of the same quality.' There are many sections of the countrv where Brome Grass will prove of large value because of the qualities enumerated above. In local- ities where there is only slight rainfall or where there is only a limited amount of water for irri- gation purposes, it would seem especially wise to experiment with this grass. Write May &; Co. for any special matter thev may have on the subject. We feel personally that a new for- age crop that offers such promise deserves the most careful consideration and investigation. Don't forget to mention the American Bee Jour- nal when writing May & Co. Please mention Bee Journal when writing advertisers. jiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiititiniiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiii IMAULE'S Seedsl IjL'Uil all, iis lli'iii^iirHlHofsuprcsMliil uurdeii- ersi II al iMectiun.^ni tlu' rountry can attest.
