OLDS 7 SWEET CLOVER 
(The Great Soil Builder and Hay Crop.) 
The production of Sweet Clover seed in 1936 was the smallest on 
record since 1924. It is estimated that about 21,000,000 pounds were 
produced compared with 31,000,000 pounds in 1935 and a five-year 
average of 49,000,000 pounds. Furthermore, there is no carry-over 
seed from last year so that the seed supply will fall short of filling 
seeding requirements. While prices of Sweet Clover may seem high, the 
prices are relatively low compared to prices of other legume crop 1 seeds. 
We look for higher prices on Sweet Clover seed before spring. Our 
advice is to cover your requirements early. 
Sweet Clover should be planted for 3 reasons: 
First—A Great Pasture Crop. When the ordinary blue grass pastures 
dry up in midsummer, Sweet Clover keeps right on growing and fur¬ 
nishes wonderful pasture right through the drouth period. 
Cows on Sweet Clover produce a splendid flow of milk. It will gen¬ 
erally pasture a thousand-pound cow per acre for a period of about 4 
months. 
Second—Wonderful Soil Builder. Sweet Clover is an excellent crop 
for building up worn-out soils. It grows faster than red clover or 
alfalfa and larger and the roots penetrate deeper into the soil. 
Third—A Valuable Hay Crop. While not quite equal to Alfalfa it 
makes good hay if cut at the right time and cattle will eat it. The 
Grundy County and the Albotrea are the best for hay. 
CULTURE—Sweet Clover is best sown in the spring with one bushel 
of extra early oats or barley per acre as nurse crop. It can also be sown 
successfully in June or July without a nurse crop or in corn at the last 
cultivation. Fifteen Pounds of Seed per Acre is usually sufficient 
—a little less for Grundy County as the seed is smaller. Inoculate the 
seed before sowing with Nitragin or Nod-O-Gen. 
Use lime if your soil is sour. Most any well- 
drained soil is all right for Sweet Clover. 
Grundy County White Blossom 
Grundy County Sweet Clover has several out¬ 
standing advantages. First, it is three weeks 
earlier than the common sweet clover. Thus the 
seed ripens ahead of most weeds. Second, 
while it grows to a good height and makes a 
good hay crop it is not as tall as the common 
and is much more easily handled. Third, it is 
finer and more leafy than the common and 
branches thickly about a foot above the ground. 
Fourth, it yields more seed than the common, 
several farms in Grundy County producing as 
high as 8 to 15 bushels per acre. 
Grundy County Sweet Clover is perhaps more 
like Alfalfa than Sweet Clover. It grows like 
alfalfa only faster and the hay is like alfalfa 
hay so that it is in fact almost a “White Blos¬ 
som Alfalfa.’’

A Fine Wisconsin Sweet Clover Pasture. 
Common White Blossom Sweet Clover 
The best probably for pasture and for soil building and the most 
largely sown for all purposes. 
Prices—Old Gold Brand—By freight: V2 pk., $1.45; pk., $2.66; 
bu., (60 lbs.), $9.90; 100 lbs., $16.25; 500 lbs. at $16.00. Con¬ 
tainers free. 
Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover 
This is the large strain of Yellow Sweet Clover, biennial the same 
as the Common White. Increasing in popularity. Some say it is 
better for pasture than the White because it stays green longer. 
Prices—Old Gold Brand—By freight: y 2 pk., $1.50; pk., $2.80; 
bu., $10.35; 100 lbs., $17.00; 500 lbs. at $16.75. Containers free. 
Albotrea Yellow Blossom 
Albotrea is a strain of Dwarf Yellow Blossom Sweet Clover. Has 
been grown several seasons on the Wisconsin Experiment Station 
Farm and they think very highly of it there. They say it is much 
to be preferred to the regular Biennial White Blossom and they like 
it better than Grundy County. Three weeks earlier than the Com¬ 
mon White.

bu., $11.10; 100 lbs., $18.25; 500 lbs. at $18.00. 
Hubam (The Annual Sweet Clover.) 
Produces a full crop of both hay and seed all in one year. Very 
desirable for a honey crop because it continues to blossom all sum¬ 
mer long.

Murdock Yellow Dent. 
Murdock Yellow Dent 
(WISCONSIN NO. 13.) 
SWEEPSTAKES CORN OF THE NORTH¬ 
ERN ZONE. 
Description: Murdock Yellow Dent is of a 
deep yellow color, ears SY 2 to 9% inches in 
length, hard and solid, just slightly rough and 
very uniform in type. It makes a large heavy 
growth of stalk and leaf and so is a good silage 
variety. Murdock is not a lot different from 
Golden Glow but it grows a trifle larger both in 
stalk and ear and yields a trifle more. Not quite 
as early. Better for silage than Golden Glow. 
BRUECKNER MURDOCK. We handled Mr. 
Brueckner’s Murdock Yellow Dent for 13 con¬ 
secutive years up to the time of his death in 
1922, and he was selecting and further improv¬ 
ing tile corn each year during all that time. 
Since his death his son, Leo Brueckner, has 
continued the work of developing and improv¬ 
ing, using his father’s methods. All the Brueck¬ 
ner Murdock we offer was grown by him. 
Our Wt scons >n grown Murdock is fire-dried 
most of it from Brueckner seed originally.

OLDS* SEED CORN 
(Plant 7 to 12 lbs. to the acre.) 
Wisconsin Grown Corn 
PLEASE NOTE: The 1936 corn crop is, gen¬ 
erally speaking, very poor. Some localities pro¬ 
duced good corn, but most of the corn growing 
districts will not produce enough seed for their 
own requirements. Many sections, who normal¬ 
ly produce large crops of seed corn, had a com¬ 
plete failure. We want to caution all seed corn 
planters at this time to beware of poor seed 
corn. There is going to be a lot of it offered 
this year, by farmers who had a corn crop and 
saved it for seed—all of it, good or poor. The 
wet and damp weather this fall, and with the 
high moisture content in corn with early freez¬ 
ing, has damaged much of the porch or outside 
dried seed corn, and it is not fit for planting. 
The cost of planting an acre of corn is less than 
75c per acre at present prices so do not risk a 
failure by planting seed which yon are not 
sure of. 
HIGH YIELDING STRAINS. Olds’ Seed 
Corn will not only grow but it will produce high 
yields. Do not be careless about the seed you 
plant. Plant the best Seed Corn you can get 
as the cost an acre for good seed is slight. 
Wisconsin No. 8 
(Early Yellow Dent) 
Best Husking Variety for Northern 
Wisconsin. 
Wisconsin No. 8 is probably the earliest of 
all dent varieties except Wisconsin No. 25. It 
came originally from Minnesota hut has been 
developed and ' improved at the Wisconsin Ex¬ 
periment Station, the ears being materially 
lengthened without sacrificing the extreme earli¬ 
ness. Ears average 7 to 8 inches in length. 
Our stock is Northern Wisconsin grown. We 
recommend it as good a husking variety as 
there is for north-centx-al Wisconsin.

OUR CORN GROWN BY SPECIALISTS. 
We have our corn grown, selected, sorted, 
dried and graded by a group of expert 
corn men in different parts of the state 
who grow the different Wisconsin varieties 
on a large scale. All our Wisconsin corn 
is fire-dried and it is all from select ears. 
Most of our growers use the new Wright 
Corn Dryers. The corn is either tipped 
before shelling or thoroughly graded after 
shelling with much of it graded with Hero 
Corn Graders. See page 58. 
CERTIFIED CORN. The Wisconsin Ex¬ 
periment Association certifies stocks of 
seed corn of the approved Wisconsin va¬ 
rieties grown by careful growers in accord¬ 
ance with their requirements. The corn 
must be grown at least 40 rods from any 
other variety, must be true to type, prac¬ 
tically free’ from mixture and show at 
least 05 per cent germination.

Grown Corn but is not State Sealed or
