Korean Lespedeza 
Seed 15 to 20 Pounds Per Acre 
Coming into its own, this thin land legume is 
being seeded in increasing quantities each year. 
Will grow on acid soil but of course makes better 
growth on more fertile or sweet soil. Not 100% 
perfect last year but what legume was? We are 
convinced that Korean deserves a place on Illi¬ 
nois farms. 
One large organization was- so satisfied with 
last season’s results that they plan to use it as far 
north as the Wisconsin line this season. Use it 
in pasture mixtures. Use it on “Lay-Out” land. 
Seed in February or March with small grain 
or alone. It is effective in stopping gullying or 
erosion. Korean makes best growth in late sum¬ 
mer when other pasture crops are suffering from 
the heat and drought. A good pasture for all 
kinds of livestock and reliable parties report as 
much as two tons of hay per acre under favorable 
conditions.
