Our field seed stocks are the largest in the South, but you no doubt realize that many items of field seeds are going to be exceptionally

The Original Legume Inoculjtor ^ 
Of all the leguminous crops grown for pas¬ 
ture and hay, there is probably none better 
than Alfalfa. While growing it puts nitrogen 
in the soil, in this way enriching the land. 
“No forage crop cultivated in the United 
States is utilized successfully in so many ways 
as Alfalfa. It is more nearly a perfect forage 
than any other crop grown in this country. 
As a hay it is unsurpassed for general feed¬ 
ing. As pasture it has a high capacity and 
produces large gains.” The above words are 
from a Government agricultural bulletin. 
Manj successful Alfalfa growers make it 
a habit to run a harrow over their fields in 
crisscross fashion after cutting. This helps 
to keep down the weeds and encourages a 
more rapid growth. This method will not 
hurt the roots of your plants. Alfalfa can 
be cut at any time from start of bloom stage 
to the time the plants are in full bloom. If 
cut in the earlier stages the hay is slightly 
richer in protein, but later cutting seems to 
help the long life of your field, as well as 
making a slightly heavier yield. 
Your soil should be clean and well prepared, 
but firm. Cover the seed about one inch deep 
with harrow. Firming the land by use of a 
roller after planting will help you to get a 
good stand, as well as a more uniform 
growth. 
The seed should be sown broadcast at the 
rate of 20 pounds to the acre in September, 
October and November. Can also be planted 
in February. March and April. 
By all means, inoculate your seed before 
planting with NITRAGIN. We strongly rec¬ 
ommend the use of a Seed Sower when plant¬ 
ing, so as to get an even and uniform stand.

NICHOLSON'S TESTED CLOVER SEED 
The qualities making clovers useful are their extensive root system and their power to gather 
nitrogen from the air. Experiments show that 30 to 50 per cent of the fertilizing value of a 
clover crop is in the roots and stubble, which adds nitrogen and humus to the soil. A good 
crop of clover will add to the soil in a single season 200 pounds of nitrogen to the acre. 
All clovers have exceptionally high value as feed, containing more protein than grasses. 
It is important that clover seed be treated with NITRAGIN before sowing. For prices, see 
page 58.

BUR CLOVER 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN “A” 
Bur Clover is used extensively and does 
well mixed with other clovers and grasses 
for permanent pastures. It also thrives on a 
wide range of soils, including sandy loams 
and lime-clad soils. 
It is one of the finest crops for winter 
pasturage, and, being a legume, it also places 
nitrogen in the soil while growing. 
Should you plant seed in the bur, it is 
wise to plant your burs earlier than you 
would hulled seed, as seeds in the bur are 
slower to germinate. If planted in this 
manner, it is best to mix 20 pounds or more 
with pulverized manure, on a basis of one 
pound of burs to a bushel of manure. Drop 
the mixture by hand not more than 30 inches 
apart each way. If you want to be doubly 
sure of a stand, you will do well to use 
larger quantities of the mixture. If the 
hulled seed is sown, use 20 pounds to the acre. 
Bur Clover may be sown advantageously on 
Bermuda sod, the two plants furnishing al¬ 
most continuous grazing. In this case the 
seeds are either sown early without covering, 
or else the Bermuda sod is so plowed as not 
to destroy the roots. Use five to ten pounds 
of seed in the bur or four to six pounds of 
the hulled seed per acre for planting on 
Bermuda sod. 
Should you have an established pasture not 
including Bur Clover, you will do well to 
plant a sprinkling of Bur Clover seed over 
your ground this fall.
