Seeding and Harvesting 

 Red Clover 



Throughout tlic greater part of the 

 clover belt clover is seeded in the 

 spring on winter wheat or with spring 

 grain. In the southern part of the 

 clover belt seeding in corn at the last 

 cultivation has been successful. When 

 red clover is seeded on winter grain 

 it is sown broadcast early in the spring 

 when the ground is honeycombed by 

 freezing and thawing. If sown later 

 when the ground can be worked it is 

 broadcasted and harrowed in or seed- 

 ed as shallow as possible with a disk 

 drill. In the spring grain sections red 

 clover is sown at the same time the 

 grain is drilled. It is the practice in 

 some locations to attach a grass seed- 

 ing attachment to the grain drill and 

 drop the clover seed either in front 

 or behind the grain hose. If dropped 

 in front of the grain hose the drill will 

 cover it, but if dropped behind it 

 should be harrowed in. Care should 

 be taken to see that the seed is cov- 

 ered about 1 inch in loam soils and 

 one-half inch in clay soils. It is im- 

 portant that the seed be well covered 

 so that the young plants will have suf- 

 ficient moisture to become established. 

 It is recommended on soils which are 

 poor in humus to apply a dressing of 

 straw or manure to the winter wheat. 

 This will help to control washing and 

 packing as well as the loss of moisture. 

 It may be the means of establishing a 

 stand which would otherwise fail. 

 Eight to ten pounds of seed are usually- 

 sown to the acre. 



Red clover should be cut for hay 

 when just past full bloom. At this 

 stage the maximum protein and dry 

 matter is present, the leaves are still 

 intact, and the stems green. The hay 

 should be so handled that it will reach 

 the barn or stack with the least pos- 

 sible exposure to the weather and loss 

 of leaves. It should not be allowed t(j 

 become too dry in the windrow and 

 should be cured in the shock. The 

 second crop of clover may be cut for 

 hay, pastured, or allowed to mature 

 for seed. If a seed crop is to be har- 

 vested it should be cut when nearly all 

 of the heads have turned brown or 

 black. The mower, self-rake reaper, 

 or binder may be used to cut the crop. 

 When the mower is used the hay 

 should be raked and bunched while 

 damp to prevent shattering. It should 

 not be tied in bundles when the binder 

 is used. 



Observations indicate that failure to 

 obtain a successful stand of clover is 

 due to a number of different causes, 

 any one or any combination of which 

 may react very unfavorably to its 

 growth. The primary causes of clover 

 failure appear to be due to depletion 

 of the humus content of the soil and 

 soil "acidity." Clover will not succeed 

 on pfiorly drained soil. Lack of fer- 

 tility reduces the yield in some sec- 

 tions. In the spring grain sections the 

 nurse crop should be seeded from one- 

 li:df to two-thirds the usual rate. 



When a full seeding of the nurse 

 crop is made, and this is especially 



CASE "25

Complete $1350-5%?; 



If We Equipped and Priced as Others Do 



^239^-5 



Of the 30 medium-priced cars— from $1250 to $1500 

 — the CASE costs the least. 



This is the only car that comes completely equipped 

 with Extra Casing, Tire Cover and Extra Inner Tube On 

 Rim, Weed Non-Skid Tire Chains, and Eight-Day Clock. 



On any other car, men Have to pay extra for all these necessary 

 features. The farmer requires them even more than the man in town. 

 Because you drive in the country six days to his one. You are much 

 more remote from garages and service stations. 



These features, with 5 per cent disco2cnt that we give if cash, 

 amount to precisely $! 10.25. 



Add this to the price of any other car in this class, and it costs 

 you more than the CASE "25" complete at $1350. 



Or deduct it from the $1350 price of the CASE, and this car costs 

 but $1239.75, on their basis of equipment. 



Hidden Values 



CASE buyers count this low cost an extreme advantage. Yet 

 these cars have never been sold on price. They are winning men 

 everywhere because of the w^ay they are made and the stuff that sin them. 



These are the "unseen values" in the vita/s of a car. And you 

 must rely upon a maker's ability to build them right. Also his rep?i' 

 taiio?i for enibodyi7ig them. 



Your Safeguard 



In both of these respects CASE stands, as you know, without a peer. 



We have won, through more than 70 years, acknowledged leader- 

 ship as makers of farm power machinery. And motive power is the 

 basis of an automobile. So — when it comes to you, as it must, to rely 

 on the name behind some car^ 



Remember that CASE means utmost security. 

 * « « * * 



And remember that CASE cars are sold by our own organization. 

 All over America, and beyond, it handles this car in connection with 

 our other products. Hence we save t/iousands where other makers 

 »llist spend — in selling. And so we spend in many ways for better 

 materials and workmanship. These are ways where otiiers viust save. 



Our new illustrated catalog tells you of many of the places where 

 we spend to your advantage. Before you buy a car, have this book 

 and learn the facts that save your repair bills.
