SPRINGFIELD SEED COMPANY, SPRINGFIELD, MO.

Short Crops 
The extremely dry season caused a dangerous shortage in all varieties of Cane, Millet, 
Corn, and all forage crops. We advise getting your seed for these crops early as the supply will 
not cover the heavy demand. 
OOW PEAS, SOY BEANS AND KOREAN LESPEDEZA ARE THE BEST CROPS TO SUBSTITUTE. 
Order your Garden Seed early. Corn, Cabbage, Beets, Onion and several other items of 
Garden Seed are very short. 
Korean Lespedeza 
Korean Lespedeza has won the distinction of being the best Summer Legume pasture for 
poor soil or for strong soil which so far has been introduced in this country. 
Korean Lespedeza will stand heavy grazing from early Summer until killed by frost. We 
have no report so far that it bloats stock, is ideal in permanent pasture mixtures with Blue 
Grass, Orchard Grass or Red Top, Alsike and White Clover because Lespedeza furnishes abund 
ant grazing during July, August and September when other pastures and Clovers are dormant. 
The Lespedeza matures before smothering out the growth of the fall grasses. Crop extremely 
short, 
Winter Barley 
BEARDED OR BEARDLESS — NEW VARIETY MISSOURI EARLY BEARDLESS 
FOR WINTER PASTURE 
This is one of our very best Winter grain and pasture crops, has proven to be perfectly 
hardy in the Ozarks. The plant may be grown for pasture or grain, should be sown at the same 
time we sow Winter Wheat, or for pasture it may be sown earlier. 
Crimson Clover 
SOW 20 POUNDS PER ACRE 
Farmers should take every available means of sowing all their vacant land in Crimson Clover, 
a* it makes a fine winter clover crop—an excellent grazing crop during the winter and early spring— 
the earliest green feed—a good early forage crop, and a splendid soil improving crop to plow under 
early, to be followed by corn, cotton or other crops the same year. A crop of Crimson Clover plowed 
under is equal to an application of stable manure. It makes land rich and mellow, fills it with humus 
or vegetable matter, and increases the yield of corn, cotton or other crops, which follow it, to a 
wonderful extent. 
For pasture—should be seeded with other small winter grain*. 
Atlas Sargo 
The most popular of the grain sorghums. It is an enormous yielder of both forage and 
grain The stalk and branches are both sweet and the grain is the most palatable of all the sor¬ 
ghums. It is the most valuable grain sorghum to grow because of its drouth resisting qualities. 
AN EXCELLENT PASTURE MIXTURE AND HAY CROP—Sow to the acre 1 bushel of 
Barley and 10 lbs. each of Crimson Clover and Winter Vetch. This combination makes a hay 
of excellent quality which is ready for harvest early in the Spiing.
