Noxious Weed Seeds Found in Clover. Alfalfa and Other Farm Seeds 
With this mill we can take out Buckhorn and most all the dead grains. If you have some good clover 
seed, medium or mammoth containing buckhorn we will clean it up for $1.00 per bu. in small lots, or 85c 
per bu. if you have 25 bu. or more. This mill will also remove green foxtail, or pigeon grass from clover 
^Dod^deir^and Dock machine. We also have installed at Peoria one of the new Rice Dodder and Dock 
mills. If you have clover or alfalfa seed containing these noxious weed seeds, we will remove them for 
IMPORTED RED CLOVER 
We have never handled imported red clover be¬ 
fore, but early in the season we saw it was neces¬ 
sary that some red clover seed was imported or 
many would have to go without clover seed alto¬ 
gether. We are importing both from Poland and 
Hungary, both being in a latitude north of Illinois 
and which should do well in this section. The 
East for a good many years have used large quan¬ 
tities of imported red clover with good results. We 
expect to sow ourselves 40 acres of Poland grown 
and 40 acres of Hungarian grown red clover this 
season along with Illinois grown seed to test it 
out. At the difference in price we think imported 
red clover adapted to this section is a good buy. We 
would not recommend at any price seed from 
Southern Europe which must be stained 10% red, 
this being a warning to you that the seed is not 
adapted to the United States. Poland and Hunga¬ 
rian seed are only stained 1% green which signifies 
that it is adapted for United States. These being re¬ 
quirements of the United States Department of Ag¬ 
riculture. For price see colored price list enclosed. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
We have some of the best Mammoth, Illinois 
grown, we have ever had, good color, free of weeds 
and testing better than 99.50. Some testing as 
much as 99.90 pure. We never put a higher purity 
than 99.50 on a tag as we would rather underesti¬ 
mate than overestimate. Mammoth clover usually 
sells for about $1.00 per bushel more than medium 
red, but this year the crop of Mammoth was large 
ALSIKE 
in proportion and we are offering this at a real 
bargain. Mammoth clover is best for a fertilizer, 
making a much heavier growth than the medium 
and easier to get a stand. Some who have grown 
both say Mammoth will produce considerable more 
pasture. For best results inoculate with Kelly’s 
jelly inoculator. For price see price list. 
CLOVER 
Under normal conditions alsike sells for $2.00 to 
$4.00 per bushel more than red clover seed. Owing 
to a fairly large crop of excellent quality alsike 
at this date (December 31) is selling at $7.50 per 
bushel less than red clover of equal grade. Alsike 
also goes further, a bushel sowing twelve acres. 
While alsike Is cheaper, do not think It will take 
the place of red clover or Mammoth as alsike has 
a different root system, more of a surface rooted 
plant like wheat or oats and not the heavy tap root 
like other clovers. Alsike is very good to use in 
a pasture mixture or a hay mixture. It often stands 
over several years without reseeding, in fact we 
bought about $1,100 worth of alsike this year which 
came off of twenty acres that had come up volun¬ 
teer.
