ALFALFA OR LUCERNE 
NO. 395 Alfalfa is a good investment on certain kinds of land in Western North Carolina. Once 
established, it lasts for years and yields 3 to 5 cuttings of nutritious and palatable hay each season. 
To insure permanency, it must be cut every time it comes mto bloom. It does not exhaust the soil, 
but enriches it. 
Sow Alfalfa only on deep, well-drained, good land that is not underlaid by a stiff, hard pan that 
the roots cannot penetrate. The land should contain an abundant supply of decomposed vegetable 
matter; a green crop turned under and lime at the rate of three tons to the acre. Do not sow 
on weedy land and keep free from weeds at all times. Do not attempt to grow Alfalfa without 
inoculating, except on fields where it has previously been grown. Sow 300 to 500 lbs. of soil from 
an Alfalfa Field on each acre; or use Stimugerm, described on this page. 
Sow 20 to 30 lbs. to the acre broadcast. In the spring sow about the same time as oats are 
sown in this section. It may also be sown from August to October 1st. Cover one,inch deep in 
light, loamy soil, three-fourths to one inch in heavier soils. We offer North Western grown seed, 
a type that hap done well in Western North Carolina. We do not advise Alfalfa unless soil and 
conditions are right and the planter is willing to start the crop correctly as outlined above.

CUT DOWN YOUR FERTILIZER BILLS 
Get Your Nitrogen From The Air 
Nitrogen is the most expensive ingredient in the fertilizers you buy, 
although it is plentiful in the air. When legume crops are inoculated 
with STIMUGERM this nitrogen is stored in nodules on the roots. 
All legumes—clovers, alfalfa, beans, peas, vetch, soybeans, cowpeas, pea¬ 
nuts, etc.—will yield far better crops if the seeds are inoculated with 
Stimugerm, and will leave in the soil a heavy deposit of nitrogen for the 
benefit of succeeding crops. 
Notice in our illustration the nodules on the root of a plant on which 
STIMUGERM was used. These nodules contain nitrogen. Grow nitro¬ 
gen, don’t buy it.

GROHOMA 
The wonder grain and fodder crop. Grohoma is drougth resisting crop, the production of Grohoma 
under drought conditions is contributed to the deep root system. Grohoma even under drougth con¬ 
ditions has demonstrated its value as a fodder crop yielding well above ten tons per acre. The deep 
root of Grohoma permits a feeding range far below the average range of other grains, a point 
where the soil contains more minerals, thereby does not draw the substance from the ground which 
is ordinarly used by other crops. The first grain crop, the main or Spike heads mature in about 
90 days, harvest this crop for grain, allowing the branch heads to mature then cut the stalk with 
the branch for bundle or silage feed, another crop of fodder at once comes from the root system. 
The leaves of Grohoma runs from 4 to 6 inches in width. Plant 5 pounds per acre twelve inches 
apart in the row. Grohoma has been grown in Western North Carolina for the last five years, and 
has been found very successful yielding from ten to fifteen tons per acre. Price 5 pounds for $1.00.
