FARM SEEDS 



ALFALFA 



LUCERNE. 



Prices subject to market changes without notice. 



The great value of Alfalfa to the stockman cannot be 

 over-estimated. No other forage crop combines so many ex- 

 cellent feeding qualities. The fact that three or four heavy- 

 crops of It can be cut every season should alone be an in- 

 centive to every farmer to put down at least a few acres of 

 it. Alfalfa can be grown successfully in every state in the 

 Union; the soil, however, should be deep and well drained. 

 It will not succeed on heavy, sticky clay ground, or where 

 water stands a short distance below the surface. Before 

 sowing the seed see that the ground is well prepared by 

 being thoroughly pulverized. Any extra work put on the 

 ground at this time will be well repaid in the crop. If sown 

 in spring, wait until the ground is warm, sowing from 20 to 

 30 lbs. of seed to the acre. 



The crop should be cut for hay just as It is coming Into 

 bloom. A safe guide is to watch for the starting of the new 

 basil shoots, which form the growth for the next crop, be- 

 fore cutting. If the weather is fine the morning's cuttings 

 should be raked into windrows the same afternoon, and 

 cocked the following day. 



We recommend using Northern grown seed. The U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture in its investigations finds that 

 the farther north the seed is grown the hardier it Is likely 

 to be, and to meet these requirements we have secured a 

 stock of strictly pure, recleaned Northern grown seed.

SOY BEANS. 



A valuable forage crop, and an excellent soil renovator. 

 We offer only Northern grown varieties, as the larger 

 Southern grown sorts do not mature in this section. The 

 seed should not be sown until the ground is warm; just after 

 corn planting time. Plant in drills 30 inches apart and three 

 or four inches apart in the rows, using 8 to 12 quarts to the 

 acre for forage, or if for seed use about 2 quarts more. 



EARLY BLACK — Of medium height, plants stocky and 

 prolific.

 quantity of seed.

SAND OR HAIRY VETCH. 



An exceedingly valuable crop, yielding enormous cropi 

 on rich soil; from 15 to 20 tons of green fodder to the acre 

 not being uncommon, and on sandy, thin land it makes a 

 remarkable heavy growth. For planting in young orchards 

 and plowing under it possesses great value. 



Sow broadcast, either in spring or fall, using from 30 to 

 60 lbs. of seed to the acre, sowing with it about Yz bushel of 

 oats to support the vines.

 for fodder, besides being a valuable soil enricher. Sown with 

 oats, using lYz bushels peas and 1% bushels oats mixed to 

 the acre, makes a splendid soiling crop, relished by all kinds 

 of stock. If sown alone, use 3 bushels peas broadcast to the 

 acre.
