“Tfue Economical Mixture I 
purchased from you, I cannot 
say too much in regards to its 
value. I have used it for the 
past three years and my fields 
are in the best shape I have 
ever had them. There has 
been farmer after farmer said 
‘Kirby, I never seen a nicer 
seeding than that.’ I never 
cut so much hay. My barn 
was full .”—Myles A. Kirby, 
Russell, Pa. 
Feeding Pastures Is Feeding 
Live Stock. Feed the pasture 
and the stock will be fed. 
Abundant pasture through the 
season will produce live stock 
and live stock products at 
from Va to x h the cost of barn 
feeding. Good pasturage, 
with its solid and matted root 
systems of perennial grasses, 
will hold the soil and keep 
the farm "at home.”

MANY HEAVY CROPS REPORTED 
FROM “ECONOMICAL MIXTURE" 
Enthusiastic reports as to the performance of this mixture 
have come in from all over this territory. W. Christman, 
Drums, Pa., reports, "Couldn’t have been better. It yielded 
about 5 tons to the acre." John Henrikson, Tidioute, Pa., 
says, "I got 12 big loads of hay from 5 acres." John T. 
Dinius, Selinsgrove, Pa., recommends it highly and adds, 
"I got 16 loads of fine hay from 8 acres in a dry summer." 
This excellent hay combination—which consists of approxi¬ 
mately l/ 2 "RED CLOVER," ]/ 4 "ALSIKE CLOVER,” l/ 4 
"TIMOTHY"—is adaptable either for hay, pasture, or for 
general soil improvement. It saves you money because the 
seed is made up largely from lots of mixed clovers and 
Timothy—seeds produced in this mixed condition. Hence 
the cost is lower. 
All lots are thoroughly mixed and checked for freedom 
from weed seeds. Proportions may vary slightly at times, 
with perhaps a little alfalfa or other crop seeds present, but 
all seeds are of desirable quality. Results from "Economical 
Mixture" will please you! 
This year’s "Economical Mixture" will qualify for soil- 
conservation payments. It is strictly U. S.-grown seed. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER (KENTISH) 
A strain of Wild White Clover harvested from old pastures in 
Kent, England. Forms a dense sward of fairly small leaves and 
possesses a late-flowering habit. Is a real perennial. Is able to 
survive under close grazing conditions. Has been used experi¬ 
mentally at Cornell University (N. Y.) since 1931, with ex¬ 
cellent results. In more recent years, is enjoying a widespread 
use in increasing numbers of farms through the East and North. 
Makes a very dense network of roots, producing a short top- 
growth that will thrive best if very closely grazed. Spreads 
rapidly. Makes a good high output of digestible food material 
high in minerals. Conserves moisture by the aid of its dense 
foliage and root system. A good mixer—that is, thrives when 
planted among other grasses and clovers. In fact, helps these 
other grasses to better production than if they were sown with¬ 
out the Wild White Clover. Adapts itself to a wide range of 
soils and climate. Stands rough treatment. Greatly helps to 
keep down many types of weed plants. Fine for pasturing 
dairy cattle and beef cattle as well. Cost of seed is high, be¬ 
cause the seed-crop is always small. The yield of seed per acre 
is very limited, but the seeds are very small in size, which makes 
the actual cost per seed smaller than is first thought. Two to 
three pounds of this seed per acre, along with the other regular 
pasture grasses, such as Ryegrass, Bluegrass, Timothy, will 
make its presence known. Its spreading habits will become 
noticed before long. 
Well worthy of your use. Do not let its cost per pound 
keep you from giving it trial at least, if only on a small area.
