ALFALFA THE GREAT HAY CROP FOR AMERICA 
A clover-like lefrumiihous plant of jrreat importance as a hay crop; nu¬ 
tritious and rich in protein elements. It ^ows from 2 to 5 feet hi^h and 
r()ots 8 to 12 ft. deep. It netnis one season to become ei^tablished; after 
that it yields enormous crops annually for years. Two to six cuttings per 
/season, aggregating three to eight tons of cured hay are harvested, accord¬ 
ing to conditions and locality. It does well on all good rich soils, except 
heavy clay, if it is well drained. It is a perennial plant lasting many yeans 
under good treatment. It should be grown by every farmer and daiiy-man. 
note—A ll of the Alfalfa seed we offer is strictly select quality seed of the highest 
grade. It is plump, of high germination and free from foul weeds. Do not confuse this 
seed with second or screening grade often offered at “bargain prices”. 
FANCY WISCONSIN GROWN—This seed is no doubt mostly all 
giown from (»rimin swmI but as the state of Wis. has no pro¬ 
vision for certifying this seed it cannot be sold as such, 
ever, the fact that it has withstcMid the hard winters 
enough to jiroduce a crop of set'd is e\'idence tliat it is 
hardy.

with the regular Grimm and it does not cost as much.

Why You Should Grow 
ALFALFA 
It is always advisable to inoc¬ 
ulate Alfalfa. 
ft contains as much protein as 
wheat bran. 
It does not exhaust but en¬ 
riches the soil. 
It produces from three to 
eight tons of hay to the acre. 
One acre will pasture 20 hogs 
for 6 months. 
Thirty-five pounds makes a 
full feed for fattening steers. 
A lamb will winter and thrive 
on three pounds a day. 
There is no state in the Union 
where ALFALFA cannot be suc¬ 
cessfully grown.

legume seed without the use of water and srtill be svire of a 
growth of soil-improving root nodules as full and vigorous as 
was formerly possible to obtain only by the use of bottle or 
“jelly” type cultures. 
Dickinson’s New Humus Inoculation has been perfected after 
careful study and experiment in the country’s largest commer¬ 
cial soil bacteriological laboratory. Each culture contains mil- 
ions of vigorous root nodules bacteria living in a specially 
blended luimus substance which can be mixed with the seed 
dry, ju.st as it comes from the can. Every can contains plenty 
of culture material to fully inoculate the quantity of st‘ed for 
which it is intended. 
Full directions are printed on the label. No skill or exper¬ 
ience is re<]uired to get good re.sults with Dickinson’s Humus 
Inoculation. It is safe and easy to use and produces sure re¬ 
sults at a cost of only a few cents per acre. Only a few min¬ 
utes are required to inoculate the seed which can then be sown 
immediately. Many growers now prefer Dickinson’s Humus In¬ 
oculation l)ecause of the handy form and the ease with which 
it is used. 
This Inoculation is put up for Alfalfa, Clovers, Soy Beans,
