Ever Hear the Story 
About the Chinaman? 
A certain Chinese dignitary, so the 
story goes, was visiting the United 
States for the first time. Among other 
events in his honor, his hosts planned 
a trip to the horse races. To their puz¬ 
zled surprise, he firmly but politely de¬ 
clined. When pressed for his reason, 
he answered: 
“Beg to observe, gentlemen, it has 
long been established that one horse 
can run faster than another.” 
The practical farmer, too, knows that 
in the race for profitable production. 
Hardier Alfalfa, Grasses and Forage 
Crops, will win, and they place their 
orders accordingly. 
In this little book you will find the 
Grasses and Legumes that have proven 
their superior hardiness and better 
yielding ability. You will benefit by 
my nine years experience in charge of 
livestock pasturing experiments at the Government Experiment 
Station and twenty years practical management of my own 3,000 
acres of farm land. We do not list impractical novelties. 
Yours for more profitable farming,
