FOR PA*TUR*S AND MEADOWS . . . 
The grasses listed here are the long-lasting, sod-forming va¬ 
rieties that are almost indispensable for establishing permanent 
pastures and meadows. These fine-leaved species are slow to 
get started, and much cannot be expected from them the first 
year. The common practice is to sow clovers and timothy with 
them, which produce the principal crop while these slower but 
more permanent grasses become established. 
On the preceding page we list several grass and clover com¬ 
binations as prescribed by the AAA, for planting the acreage 
withdrawn from grain production. These mixtures are sugges¬ 
tions only and may be changed to suit individual requirements. 
Our quotations are on the separate ingredients only—not on 
ready-made mixtures. 
This is the most common of all pasture grasses, 
and almost everyone is familiar with it. Blue 
Grass stands more close grazing, trampling, 
drouth, etc., than any other grass. It may dry 
down during long dry spells, but with the first 
shower comes back green and vigorous as ever. 
Blue grass is one of the most domineering of 
all tame grasses. Once it gets a start, it soon 
takes the entire field. It forms an unusually 
tough sod which makes it especially valuable for 
steep hillsides that are subject to washing. Much 
rough land in cultivation today could be put to 
more profitable use by planting to Blue Grass and 
left for grazing purposes. 
Our Blue Grass is extra nice quality. Thoroughly refined, 
solid, heavy seed. You will find our prices attractive.

This is the small clover so commonly found in 
pastures and lawns. Makes an excellent companion 
crop for Blue Grass or Bed Top. Very easy to get 
started. Seed comes up in a few days. Increases., 
the value of pastures. Improves the soil same is; 
other clovers. Seed is very fine. Sown alone re--- 
quires only 3 to 4 pounds per acre. The commcjn ~ 
practice, however, is to mix with other grasses, using about 1 to ~ 
2 pounds per acre. This will introduce the clover and after tfiaTr.. 
it will spread of its own accord. 5 -

is a problem. Also does well in shady places.

KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
S1.9S™ _ 
5 Bu. @ $1.90; 10 Bu. @ $1.85 _ 
Korean Clover is a very popular and profitable legume in the 
southern and south central states, where it ranks as a major crop. 
It has worked its way northward, and no little interest has been 
shown in it by farmers of the corn-belt states, particularly since 
Korean grows on non-lime soils. 
Korean, however, is not well adapted to the northern half of 
the corn belt. We desire that our customers are correctly in¬ 
formed on this point. A few counties north of the Iowa-Missouri 
boundary line is considered the northern extent of its adaptabil¬ 
ity. Beyond that its growth is too small to be of much value, 
and we do not encourage its use unless for trying out on a small 
acreage. But in the sections southward of this point Korean has 
demonstrated its usefulness and is becoming increasingly popular. 
One-Year Clover 
Korean Lespedeza is an annual legume. It makes its full 
growth and matures seed the first year, and then dies. Reseeds 
itself and keeps coming year after year. 
No Liming Necessary 
Unlike most other legumes, Korean requires no liming. It 
grows equally well on sour soils. Also is recommended for thin 
worn-out, or eroded soils. It is a nitrogen producer, and an ex¬ 
cellent soil builder. Seed should be inoculated with special 
Lespedeza inoculation for best results. (See page 17 for priqes 
of Lespedeza inoculation.) 
Finest Quality Feed 
Lespedeza hay is fine stemmed and leafy. In feeding value is 
equal to alfalfa or clovers. Yields vary, the south central states 
being the heaviest producers. Also makes valuable pasture. Does 
not bloat, and is relished by ail livestock. 
How to Plant 
Sow in small grain in spring same as red clover. Do not disc 
in—a light covering with harrow is sufficient. Sow at rate of 15 
to 20 pounds per acre. A bushel weighs 25 pounds.
