KOREAN 
LESPEDEZA 
INOCULATE 
This Seed 
IT PAYS! 
See Page 10 
First thing to keep in mind is that Lespedeza is strictly a 
plant for the South. True, its use has spread in an amaz¬ 
ing way here in the North the past couple seasons. Results 
seem to vary—some folks are pleased quite well with it, 
others have been disappointed. Those wanting to try it 
should not go into it too strongly at first. 
The Kentucky College of Agriculture says: 
"It produces pasture of unexcelled quality in August 
when other pastures are poor. It will carry 1,000 to 2,000 
pounds live weight of stock per acre from June to October. 
It is large enough to graze from two or three weeks earlier 
than other varieties of Lespedeza. Can be broadcast, 5 to 
10 pounds per acre, on old, thin-spotted pastures of any 
kind and makes a stand without stirring the land.” 
Korean Lespedeza makes hay, too. In the South it has 
made from one to four tons per acre. Easy to cure. For 
best hay, sow 20 to 25 pounds seed per acre. 
Most any soil will produce this crop. Wet or dry, rich 
or poor, sour or sweet. When a good crop of Korean is 
turned under one year, the following corn crop has been 
greatly benefited. A great drought resister. Also a legume, 
storing the nitrogen at its roots that it collects from the air 
while growing. 
“For ten years, maybe fifteen, I have been buying 
your seeds, and have been very much pleased. I have 
always been particularly pleased with the clover seed.”
