There is no better or cheaper feed you can 
grow than Alfalfa and at the same time it builds 
up your soil. During the recent dry seasons Al¬ 
falfa has proven its name of “GREEN GOLD.” 
It has often been the only green spot on the land¬ 
scape, producing a large tonnage of nutritious, di¬ 
gestible, high-protein hay or furnishing much- 
needed pasture. Real value any way you look at it. 
“Lay-Out” acres seeded to Alfalfa look like a 
sound money-making investment. You are paid 
a good rental the first year while the crop is be¬ 
coming established and after that you are ready 
to cash in on this wonderful crop. Think it over. 
Have you ever seen a stand of Alfalfa that was a 
liability to a farm ? 
WHAT STRAIN TO SOW? 
A question asked so many times that we want 
to go on record here with our answer. In South¬ 
ern Illinois, or where Alfalfa is a part of the 
rotation (used like sweet clover), we find that 
Kansas strains are satisfactory and have lowest 
seed cost. Farther north and where the stand is 
to be left down for several years we believe that 
strains of Northern Common or Grimm will give 
best results. This year, with price of Grimm more 
nearly equal that of Common than ever before, 
Grimm deserves serious consideration and should 
be more generally used.

SOIL PREPARATION PAYS 
Successful Alfalfa requires a sweet soil; a 
well-prepared seed bed; good drainage; and 
thorough inoculation. Manure has a pronounced 
beneficial effect and phosphorus often helps. 
Original costs for Alfalfa seeding may look 
high. However, this cost should be distributed 
over from three to five years. Increased yield of 
crops that follow should also be considered. Here 
is a real prosperity special. Hop on. See more
