ALSIKE 
and 
TIMOTHY 
(mixed) 
ANOTHER POPULAR BLEND FOR MAKING HAY 
These two grasses make wonderful partners. They seem 
well suited to each other. They thrive well in lower loca¬ 
tions—ground that is not at all suited to many other grasses. 
They ripen close together. Make very desirable hay. 
The Alsike content of this popular mixture is usually 
right around 20 per cent. It is good full-bodied, plump 
seed—not the common underrun seed that sells at much 
lower prices. This combination is offered at a price that 
does save you a little money. It is free from noxious weeds. 
Sound germination, too. See Price List. 
-Legumes—the Cheapest Source of Fertility- 
A farmer of long experience says, “I find such legumes 
as alfalfa, clovers,*vetch, soy beans, cow peas, etc., turned 
under in a green state will insure fertility and keep it 
up. I use rotations, having certain fields in some of the 
above crops every year to turn under during the summer 
or early fall. This is certainly the safest method to get 
fertility and to keep it up. Of course, barnyard manure 
is just as good, but a sufficient quantity cannot be secured 
to cover all of our fields; so we must look to legumes to 
take its place for a ‘green’ manure crop.”
