Iowa State College farm crops staff and the Iowa Seed Council advise substituting Canadian bromegrass for southern-type seed in 1952 seeding mixtures due to anticipated shortages. Dr I J Johnson notes Canadian varieties can replace timothy or orchardgrass if southern brome is unavailable, while tests by Drs C P Wilsie and R R Kalton show southern types out yield Canadian strains by 20 to 30 percent.
