Alfalfa 
INOCULATE SEED WITH NITRAGIN 
Many interesting facts might be given about 
Alfalfa. We can't say too much for it be¬ 
cause it's a working plant which is changing 
the deshny of many farming sections. Sow 20 
lbs. to the acre. 
Although fall sowing is preferable, good 
results can be obtained from early spring sow¬ 
ing. Give it care and attention, especially the 
first year, and your trial will show you that 
cannot afford to be without it. Get it thor¬ 
oughly established by first preparing your 
land, applying plenty of lime, and before 
seeding you should inoculate the seed. If your 
land has never had Alfalfa growing on it be¬ 
fore, be sure to inoculate the seed with nitro¬ 
gen-gathering bacteria for Alfalfa, for with¬ 
out inoculation your success is exceedingly 
doubtful. When once established, Alfalfa is 
the most valuable permanent clover that can 
be grown. It is adapted to almost the entire 
South, and has the highest feeding value of 
any hay. Do not sow on wet ground, high and 
rather dry being preferable, and only cut 
when coming into bloom. Lb., 40c; 10 lbs., 
$3.50, postpaid.
