Don’t be fooled. Alsike Clover costs more per 
bushel than Red Clover, but on the per acre cost 
basis they are practically the same. Alsike seed 
are smaller and less per acre is seeded. 
Alsike has certain distinct advantages and fits 
in where other legumes are not suitable. Alsike 
tolerates more soil acidity than red or sweet clover, 
or alfalfa. It will grow in wet or poorly drained 
spots. It is better in meadows because it is a 
perennial and does not die after the second year 
like red and sweet clover.

Good Seed 
BOOSTS FARM INCOME 
Read this quotation from the Extension 
Messenger of the College of Agriculture, Uni¬ 
versity of Illinois: “Most farmers could increase 
their net farm income as much as $100 to $1,000 
a year by changing to high-yielding strains of 
seeds that produce crops of good quality.” 
We know from experience, both on the Funk 
Farms and on the farms of our customers, that 
good seed is economical. Cheap seed is dear at 
any price. 
Good seed — adapted varieties — high purity 
and germination. You are on your way toward 
higher acre yield and greater profit. 
Quoting further: “In the central Illinois area 
where much grain is sold from the farm, dif¬ 
ferences in crop yields have consistently ac¬ 
counted for MORE OF THE DIFFERENCES IN 
INCOMES BETWEEN FARMS than any other 
of the important factors. ” (The capitals are ours.) 
Good Seed-Larger Yield-Higher Income
