lirsl of August and .■stalls right out pro¬ 
ducing hay or pasture for you the first 
season. I believe the earler you sow it, 
though, the better results and thicker 
stand you will have. 
SUDAN CRASS 
For Hay, Pasture and 
Silage 
.Sudan is the only quick forage crop 
that you can rely on in a hot, dry year. 
It's mighty good feed insurance to fall 
back on. Sudan hay is only a one year 
crop but it's great for all kinds of live¬ 
stock; doesn’t cause bloat. Gives you 
from 4 to 10 tons per acre, 2 big cuttings 
of hay. 
After the ground warms up in the 
spring and danger of cold, frost or freez¬ 
ing weather is over, sow at the rate of 
20 to 30 pounds per acre and cover about 
one inch deep. The first crop is ready 
for hay in 60 days and should be cut 
when the heads are in the milk stage 
The second crop comes on 30 to 40 days 
later, before frost comes. Do not cut or 
feed frosted Sudan Grass. 
KOREAN CLOVER 
(Lespedeza) 
It Is an annual for Missouri, Kansas, 
Southern Iowa and Southern Nebraska 
Korean Clover does not take the place of 
Alfalfa, Sweet Clover, Red Clover or 
Alsike but if you have soil that will not 
grow any of these legumes or cannot he 
cultivated, try Korean. Use a half bushel 
per acre, sowing early in the spring, as 
soon as frost leaves the ground. Write 
for my Korean Clover Bulletin for 
further information. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
Mammoth or Sapling, produces a 
larger hay crop and is a far better soil 
builder than Medium. 1 recommend sow¬ 
ing it with Meadow Fescue, Timothy or 
Red Top in a mixture. Sow 8 pounds per 
acre alone or 4 pounds with 8 pounds of 
these other grasses in a mixture. 
TIMOTHY 
The Timothy crop is short this year 
and prices are high but I have secured 
some of the finest 1334 crop Timothy 
that was produced in the Farm Belt, the 
usual Earl May quality that will grow 
anywhere. Sow 10 to 12 pounds of Tim¬ 
othy per acre or 12 to 15 pounds of the 
following mixtures: 
Timothy Alsike Mixture for low ground — 
20-25% clovers 
Timothy Red Clover Mixture — 
20-25% clovers 
Alsike Timothy Red Clover Mixture — 
20-30% clovers 
Heidelburg Mixture- 
Red Clover, Alsike, Alfalfa and Timoth> 
Extra rich—20-30% clovers 
Our best hay mixture. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
The only crop that grows with vet 
feet. It will grow on land that is too 
sour or too wet to grow Sweet Clover or 
Red Clover.' Most farmers sow either 
with Timothy or other upright growing 
grasses so it can be cut easily for hay. 
Sow 6 pounds per acre alone. 
WHITE DUTCH CLOVER 
For Lawn Grass and 
Pasture 
Makes excellent pasture, a great 
drouth resister. Use 8 pounds to the 
acre alone for pasture. 
LESPEDEZA SERICEA 
Sericea is the new perennial. Lespedeza 
is still in an experimental stage but 1 
want you to try it and then you’ll know 
just exactly what it will do for you. It 
needs no lime, fertilizer or inoculation 
but inoculation and fertilizer, of course, 
all help to give a thicker, heavier and 
more vigorous growth. It will grow on 
poor, acid soils that won’t grow other 
kinds of legumes. Broadcast double 
scarified seed at the rate of 10 pounds 
per acre. As a hay crop the Sericea is 
about equal to alfalfa in feeding value 
and quantity of hay. 
BROME GRASS 
The Great Dry Weather 
Crop for Dry Territories 
It must be sown by hand. It will grow 
on all kinds of soils. It usually makes a 
hay crop the first year although the sec¬ 
ond and third years are much larger in 
yield. Better than Timothy hay in feed¬ 
ing value. Cover Brome Grass lightly. 
Sow when the weather is cool, using 20 
pounds per acre alone, either spring or 
fall. You may also sow 8 pounds per 
acre with 12 pounds of Yellow Blossom 
Sweet Clover or 6 pounds of Red Clover 
or Alfalfa. 
RAPE 
Dwarf Essex 
Makes wonderful hog pasture. Can be 
pastured in from 6 to 8 weeks after you 
sow it. Only takes about 8 pounds of 
seed per acre. Can be sown with oats 
early in the spring or by itself any time 
during the spring and summer moqths. 
SOY BEANS 
Soy Beans can be used for hay, pasture, 
silage, oil meal and are good to mix with 
your own home grown feeds. 
Plant Soy Beans from coin planting 
time until middle of July. Drill in 8 inch 
rows using one bushel per acre. You can 
also broadcast at the rate of one and a 
half bushel to two bushels per acre or by 
using a bean attachment on your corn 
planter plant with corn at the rate of 8 
pounds of beans per acre. 
Cut for hay as soon as the pods an 
well developed but before the leaves be¬ 
gin to drop heavily. 
MANCHU SOY BEANS. 105 days. Me¬ 
dium sized yellow bean. Can’t be beat 
for hogging down. 
ILIalNI SOY BEANS. 115 days. The 
small seeded Yellow. Use only about 
two-thirds as much seed per acre of the 
Tllini as of other beans. 
VIRGINIA SOY BEANS. 125 days. 
Brown. More acres of Virginia Beans 
are grown in Missouri than any other 
kind. 
BLACK WILSON. The best early black 
seeded bean. Matures in only 115 days 
Grasses for All Purposes 
We also have good, heavy new crop 
seed in the following varieties of grasses:

HOG PASTURE MIXTURE 
I find that, sowing a mixture especiallj 
for the hogs even if only in the feed lot 
is a very desirable practice. Can be sown 
as soon as the ground warms up in the 
spring at the rate of 15 to 20 pounds 
per acre. Mix a few Soy Beans with this 
if you have them available.
