ALFALFA SEED 
CROTALARIA 
SPECTABILIS 
World’s Best Cover Crop. Build up your 
soil with this new legume. This new legume 
produces more humis and more nitrogen per 
acre than any other crop. It is not a pest and 
can be easily eradicated and reseeds itself 
each year under favorable conditions. It is 
used as a summer cover crop and soil builder 
in groves, orchards, vineyards, etc. Livestock 
will not eat it, therefore you will not be 
tempted to cut it for hay when your ground 
needs it so badly. This should be planted as 
soon as danger of frost is past and at a time 
when there is plenty of moisture in the soil, 
and can be planted as late as July, either 
broadcast or drilled. Ten pounds of seed is 
required per acre for broadcasting and half 
of that amount if drilled. Grows from 5 to 10 
feet depending entirely on the locality.

STRAWBERRY SHOOKS 
or DIRT BANDS 
STRAWBERRY SHOOKS or DIRT BANDS—Ecg 
plants, muskmelons and early cucumbers 
pay well if they come early into the market. 
In order to have them early, it is a good 
plan to start them in a cold frame in what 
are called “Dirt Bands.” This is a box 4 
inches square and 4 inches deep, without 
bottoms. These are placed in a frame and 
filled with good rich soil, and five or six 
seeds in each box. When the plants come 
up, thin them out to one or two in each box. 
Before using dirt bands, wet them thorough- 
ly before handling or they will be apt to 
break at the grooves, as they are made of 
thin veneered wood. 
$2.25 per 100; $14.00 per 1,000, not prepaid. 
ARASAN 
Seed treated with Arasan is pro 
tected against many seedling dis- 
eases and seed decay which cause 
missing hills and hills with only one 
stalk. Fifty-one farm demonstrations 
in the Corn Belt showed that Arasan 
increased stands by 5% to 15%. 
8 oz. can $1.00.
