or Sweet. Re-seeds itself annually. Better adapted to a wider area than 
any other Lespedeza known. Does well where other clovers may fail.

■when most pasture crops are often at their poorest — Makes excellent 
quality hay, having produced as high as two tons of air-dried hay per 
acre — Is a legume, therefore a soil builder, adding both nitrogen and 
humus to the soil — Is drouth-resistant. 
RATE OF SEEDING: 15-20 lbs. per acre where full crop is desired 
first year. Four to 10 lbs. if first crop is permitted to reed . it'tself.

SERICEA LESPEDEZA 
A new perennial legume 
thriving well on poor as well 
as acid soils. A wonderful 
(perennial lespedeza) land builder, and a very 
heavy seed producer. On good soil will grow to a height of five (5) 
feet the first year, producing three tons of hay on first cutting. Plant 
very shallow in rows 3 Y 2 feet apart, 3 to 4 lbs. to acre. Inoculate with 
Nitragin. Price: 1Tb, 60c; 2Tb, or over, 50c per lb.

O EH. L. l—J DnC/rx I /AvjCL Cotton, Wheat, Com, Rice, and 
Tobacco land either taken out or to be taken out of production this year, it is 
evident that a tremendous demand for legume seed will develop this spring As a 
matter of fact, it will be impossible for all this idle land to be seeded to le¬ 
gumes and hay crops, since our estimated available seed supply is not large 
enough. This will undoubtedly mean a material rise in seed prices. Those who 
desire to sow their rented land to legumes and pasture mixtures should therefore 
secure needed seed supplies at the earliest possible moment Much of this gov¬ 
ernment rented land will probably have to lie idle or be seeded to small grain 
remembering, however, that with one exception no crop seeded on this idle land can be harvested either for hay or grain this 
year, but must be plowed under. The exception is this: If a farmer has seeded this land to permanent pasture without a 
nurse crop, he will be allowed to pasture it this year. Order your alfalfa, sweet clover, common clovers or pasture mixture 
early, and thus have the best chance to make good use of your land.—WALLACES’ FARMER 
U. S. Dept, of Agriculture Recommends

In addition to above Grasses, we recommend Meadow Fes¬ 
cue, also known as English Blue Grass, either for straight 
sowing or in mixtures. It is a tufted, deep-rooted, long- 
lived perennial, adapted to about the same area as Timo¬ 
thy, producing an abundance of leaves and a good sod; 
very good for early and late pasture. In shady places, 
thrives quite as well as Orchard Grass. 
Price on items for these Mixtures quoted on request. Ask 
for price on Mixtures made up, specifying Mixture desired.
