POULTRY 
This mixture of quick-growing seeds will meet the de¬ 
mands of farmers who want to grow quickly, at little labor 
and expense, green feed for farm stock. It should be 
planted at the rate of about seventy pounds per acre. Can 
be broadcast by hand or with a seeder and harrowed in. 
Can also be sown with a grain drill. 
With favorable weather a satisfactory growth will result 
in four weeks, which may be profitably pastured by hogs 
or sheep. For cattle it would be best to cut the growth 
and haul to the cattle either in the stable or in pens, to 
prevent damage from stamping. After the growth has been 
cut off or pastured down, it will come up again. 
The feed grown from this mixture is of a succulent na¬ 
ture, and helps to produce flesh, fat, wool and dairy prod¬ 
ucts. The seeds in it are quick growing, and adapted for 
Summer feeding. Must not be sown before June 1st and 
not later than August 1st. The growth will continue until 
frost, but will not stand the Winters. See Price List.

“CLOVER SICKNESS”—Then What? 
Just as in the case of human beings, right diet and healthy sur¬ 
roundings ward off disease. 
There are five practical suggestions made by students of 
clover sickness: 
1. Plow deep and prepare the soil deep and 
thoroughly to encourage thrifty root growth. 
2. Apply lime and work it in deep, because 
lime encourages root development, encourages 
the growth of beneficial root nodule bacteria, 
and discourages to some extent the injurious 
organisms. Surface lime doesn’t help much if 
the under-surface is sour. 
3. Inoculate with the right kind of root 
nodule bacteria to promote accumulation of 
nitrogen to feed the plants. 
4. Fertilize for healthy, vigorous growth. 
Shortage of plant food, especially phosphorous, 
is one of the prime causes of clover sickness. 
5. Rotate. Do not grow clover on the same 
land twice without other crops intervening in 
the rotation. Where soils are badly "clover 
sick” defer growing clover on them for a few 
years and in the meantime grow other legumes 
such as alfalfa, soy beans or sweet clover.
