The great value of Alfalfa to the stockman cannot be over- 

 estimated. No other forage crop combines so many excellent 

 feeding qualities. The fact that three or four heavy crops of it 

 can be cut every season should alone be an incentive 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. 



GRIMM'S CERTIFIED ALFALFA— Choice recleaned seed. Per 

 lb., 45c; 10 lbs., $4.00; 100 lbs $36.00 



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 of the next crop, before cutting. If the 

 weather is fine the morning's cuttings should be raked into wind- 

 rows the same afternoon, and cocked the following day. 



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

 ment of Agriculture in its investigation 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. The 

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

 planting time. Plant in drills 30 inches apart and 3 or 4 inches 

 apart in the rows, using 8 to 12 quarts to the acre for forage, 

 or if for seed use about 2 quarts more. 



ITO SAN (Early Yellow) — A dwarf early variety, producing a large 

 quantity of seed. Price of the above Soy Beans, per quart, 20c 

 (by mail, 30c per quart), peck, $1.25; bushel (60 lbs.) $4.00 



SAND OR HAIRY VETCH 



An exceedingly valuable crop, yielding enormously on almost 

 any ground. It is biennial, similar in growth to field peas, only 

 that the vines are much finer, longer and more thickly covered 

 with leaves and side stems, vines 10 feet long. Sow broadcast, 

 either in spring or fall, using from 30 to 60 lbs. of seed to the acre, 

 sowing with it about 1/2 bushel of oats to support the vines. Per 

 lb., 30c; (by mail. 35c per lb.); 10 lbs., $2.25; 100 lbs $18.80
