NEVER SEED MEADOW OR PASTURE WITHOUT CLOVERS 
Permanent soil enriching legumes are being accepted as well as used more each year and for 
forage and plowing-under are the most valuable grasses known. EMERSON uses them liberally 
in the following mixtures: 
EMERSON’S DAIRY FARM HAY SEED. Here is a combination of clovers, blue grass and timothy that will 
adapt itself to most any of New England’s conditions. Giving a dense and well supported hay growth, that has 
superior milk producing qualities, its goodness is unsurpassed for all around dairy use. Wonderful for calves. 
Sow 30 lbs. to the acre. 10 lbs. $3.60; 25 lbs. $8.00; 100 lbs. $30.00. 
EMERSON’S STANDARD HAY MIXTURE For horse hay this blend of Kentucky blue grass, timothy, red and 
alsike clovers, will do well on most any drained land. A good top dressing with manure or wood ashes each 
year is all that is needed to keep it yielding abundantly indefinitely. Sow 31 lbs. to the acre. 10 lbs. $3.50; 
25 lbs. $7.50; 100 lbs. $25.00. 
EMERSON’S PERMANENT PASTURE GRASSES. In wet or dry weather on low or high ground this combina¬ 
tion of grasses will give you a permanent grass turf that will grow on the poorest kinds of soil. Their spreading, 
creeping nature being especially resistant to grazing, means maximum forage feed over many years’ time. Sow 
40 lbs. to the acre. 10 lbs. $5.00; 25 lbs. $9.00; 100 lbs. $35.00. 
EMERSON’S REVITALIZING SOIL FORMULA. You can avoid a large percentage of your short crops and crop 
failures. Twenty-five, fifty, or seventy-five per cent crops are unprofitable. A 100 per cent production is what 
puts you on “Prosperity Road,” which all are seeking. This we think can be accomplished, provided you will 
prepare your soil as suggested. 
Let each farmer take ten per cent of his tillable acreage each year and treat it as follows: 
In the Fall, thoroughly chop up the old meadow with a disc harrow before plowing. Sow this land in the 
early Spring with oats and peas. Top-dress this crop with barnyard manure or 4-8-4 commercial fertilizer. 
When in bloom again use your harrow to cut the crop before plowing. Seed the same land with buckwheat. 
When in bloom harrow thoroughly before plowing. Seed the third time to rye and winter vetch. This crop 
should be harrowed and plowed the following May. 
BEFORE FERTILIZING, TEST YOUR SOIL 
Here is the “short cut” to your problem on what to use for a fertilizer. Recognizing the fact that no two kinds of 
soil are exactly alike the need for some practical means of determining what it lacks for your crop becomes evident. 
Now — for the first time — you can have a soil testing laboratory of your own. It is so simple that anyone without 
previous experience can, in 20 minutes’ time, determine the approximate plant food elements -—• Nitrogen — Potash — 
Phosphorus, the soil contains, as well as the degree of acidity. 
Before you buy a pound of fertilizer or plant an ounce of seed, test your soil with a Sudbury Soil Testing Kit and 
determine the kind and amount of fertilizer your land requires.
