mon White.

OLDS' 
OLDS' SWEET CLOVER 
(The Great Soil Builder and Hay Crop.) 
The production of sweet clover seed in 1937 is estimated at 52,000,- 
000 pounds which was the largest since 1929. It is about one-fourth 
larger than the five-year average. The carry-over was rather small and 
with the high prices of other clovers, the demand for sweet clover will 
be much larger, and we expect to see a shortage of seed by planting 
time. Our advice is to purchase 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.’’

WACONIA ORANGE SORGHUM CANE.

over a period of four or five years and it is a great improvement over 
the old strain of Amber cane. It has a stronger germinating seed, better 
withstanding unfavorable growing conditions, grows a much heavier hut 
shorter stalk, withstands storms and wet weather without lodging and 
most important of all in running tests produces a better quality of syrup 
and more of it per acre. Sow 4 to 8 pounds of seed to the acre for 
sorghum and 15 to 25 pounds for fodder.
