to greater production during the hot summer months. Meadow aftermaths produced from the usual type of meadow mixtures, containing in addition 1 pound to the acre of wild white clover or Ladino white clover, are especially valuable as supplementary pastures during this period. In establishing long-term meadows to be used at first for a combination of hay and pasture and subsequently for pasture only, a mixture such as the following may be used.
| The Cornell hay-pasture mixture for 19382 | |
| Pounds to | |
| the acre 4 | |
| Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) | 4 |
| Canada bluegrass (Poa compressa) | 2 |
| Rough-stalked meadow grass (Poa trivialis) | 1 |
| Timothy (Phleum pratense) | 6 |
| Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) | 4 |
| Red clover (Trifolium pratense) | 3 |
