FOR THE FARM 
WHEN TO SOW. — March or 
April, 1 inch deep on sandy

soils. 
HOW TO SOW. —Use a broad¬ 
cast seeder (see page 89). 
with drill or by hand. Roll

firm seed bed. 
CUTTING. —Cut when suckers 
are 1 to 2 inches high; do 
not cut late in the fall. 
WHAT ALFALFA TO SOW. 
For general sowing, use Gen¬ 
uine Kansas Alfalfa; along 
the Atlantic seaboard and 
Southern States, Oklahoma-—- 
Kansas grown; in mountain

FACTS ABOUT ALFALFA 
GARTHOFNER RANCH GRIMM ALFALFA 
The hardiest and most productive strain. 
Mr. Garthofner, who is known as the “Alfalfa King” of Northern Montana, has given 
personal supervision to the roguing of plants from year to year from a standpoint of 
pure seed production. This strain is grown on non-irrigated land, extremely drought- 
resistant, the average rainfall being only ten inches, and has survived the heaviest 
freezing conditions. You will find this Grimm Alfalfa the most dependable and hardy 
Strain available. 
Grimm Alfalfa is the hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the severest winters of 
our mountain sections. It has a deep branching root growth that gives the plant a firm 
hold on the soil and prevents heaving by frequent freezes and thaws, and also adapts it 
to shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near the surface, or if your farm is in the 
mountain section, it will pay you to give Grimm the preference. 
The origin of Garthofner Ranch Grimm Alfalfa is verified by the United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture. By mail postpaid, lb. 40c; 5 lbs. $1.50; 10 lbs. $2.85; 25 lbs. $6.40;

Genuine Kansas Alfalfa 
U. S. Verified Origin 
An alfalfa that can stand the severe win¬ 
ters of Kansas will come through our win¬ 
ters splendidly. In a test of alfalfas from 
many sources made by the Virginia Agri¬ 
cultural Experiment Station four plantings 
of Kansas alfalfa stood the winters better 
than any in their test and yielded more than 
4% tons per acre. It makes a quick spring 
growth and gives several cuttings each sea¬ 
son. By mail postpaid, lb. 32c; 5 lbs. $1.15;

Kansas-Oklahoma Alfalfa 
U. S. Verified Origin 
Grown along Kansas-Oklahoma State line, 
where the winters are hard — only a short 
distance south of the Kansas producing sec¬ 
tion. On our Williamson Farm it has yielded 
3 to 5 cuttings a year for seven years. Do 
not confuse it with cheap., tender alfalfa 
grown in Arizona, which is widely sold as 
“alfalfa” without reference to its origin. 
By mail postpaid, lb. 30c; 5 lbs. $1.05; 10 lbs. 
$1.95; 25 lbs. $4.40; 50 lbs. $8.65.

Not postpaid, lb. 20c; 5 to 24 lbs. 16c per lb.; 
25 to 99 lbs. 15c per lb.; 100 lbs. and over 14c 
per lb. No charge for bags. 
Once established, it lasts for years. 
Yields three to five cuttings of nutritious 
hay each season. 
Feeding value high — contains as much 
protein as wheat bran. 
Does not exhaust the soil; it enriches it. 
Requires but little care and attention. 
It supplies its own nitrogen and stores it 
in the land to make bigger the crops that 
follow it. 
One of the farm’s most profitable crops; 
it pays constant dividends.

WOOD’S DIXIE WHITE CLOVER 
For Pasturage 
Makes a vigorous winter growth and furnishes abundant grazing 
throughout the year under severe Southern conditions, thriving 
notwithstanding heat, cold and drought. It should be seeded on 
every lespedeza, bermuda and carpet grass pasture. In a two-year 
test of white clovers from all parts of the world it made the best 
and earliest grazing, the most luxuriant winter and early spring 
growth (10 inches) and stood the hot, dry summers. A high au¬ 
thority says: “Its hay contains 22%% protein, almost twice as 
much as alfalfa, red clover or lespedeza, and dairymen can feed it 
instead of concentrates.” Sow 5 lbs. to 8 lbs. per acre. Bv mail 
postpaid, lb. 50c; 5 lbs. $2,00; 10 lbs. $3.85; 25 lbs. $8.65; '50 lbs.

WHITE SWEET CLOVER 
Our Best Soil Builder. 
There is probably no crop that will improve soil fertility as fast 
as Sweet Clover if a reasonable stand and growth is obtained. 
Sweet Clover will grow on any type of soil, provided it is well 
limed and inoculated, and like all other crops it responds readily 
and profitably to fertilizer and manure. 
When sowing Sweet Clover in the spring some nurse crop should 
always be used, as it does not compete strongly with weeds, and 
when sown alone it is likely to be killed out. Any of the early 
small grains, such as Burt and Fulghum oats or a fall-sown grain 
are the best nurse crops for Sweet Clover. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per 
acre. By mail postpaid, lb. 22c; 5 lbs. 70c; 10 lbs. $1.25; 25 lbs. 
$2.40; 50 lbs. $4.65. 
Not postpaid, lb. 12c; 5 to 24 lbs. 9c per lb.; 25 to 99 lbs. 7c per lb.; 
100 lbs and over e%c per lb. No charge for bags.
