“I want to write and tell 
you I was very well pleased 
with that Northwest Alfalfa 
I purchased from you in 
1937. Although I hit a dry 
season, it done very well and 
since we are having more 
rain it is improving wonder- 
ful. I cut it three times and 
could have cut it the fourth 
time, if I had known the 
frost would stay off so long.” 
—Frank R. LeMaster ; Mar- 
tinsburg , W. Va. 
“I liked your Hog Pas¬ 
ture Seed. Pastured it 6 
weeks with grain ration. 
Then took the hogs out for 
2 weeks. Then put them on 
again for 5 more .”—John 
Manley , Retnsen, N. Y. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
Lespedeza is widely used from Maryland south, 
on lands too poor for other clovers. It is an an¬ 
nual, killed by the frost. Not so good a hay 
crop for the northern sections. Often reseeds itself. 
Korean Lespedeza makes from one to four tons 
of hay per acre in the south. Easy to cure. A 
great drought resister—also a legume, storing 
nitrogen in its roots. Be sure to inoculate this 
seed. Sow 20 to 25 pounds of seed per acre. 
SERICEA LESPEDEZA 
"Sericea” is a perennial strain of "Lespedeza.” 
Grows taller than annual types. Makes finer hay. 
Grows on poor soils and in drier seasons. 
EMERGENCY PASTURE MIXTURE 
For H 095 —Sheep—Cattle—Poultry 
For quick-growing green feed. Often a satis¬ 
factory growth in four weeks. Fine pastures for 
hogs or sheep. For cattle, cut and haul to the 
stock in the barn. This prevents damage from 
stamping. Will come up again after cut. This 
pasturage helps produce flesh, fat, wool. Must 
not be sown before June 1st, and not later than 
August 1st. Will continue to grow until frost. 
Will not winter. Plant about 70 pounds per acre, 
either broadcast or with a seeder. Then harrow 
it in. May be sown with a grain drill.
