There is a difference of from 5 to 8c per pound in the price of alfalfa seed, accord¬ 
ing to locality of production. The Government, realizing the Importance of adapta¬ 
bility in alfalfa, is rendering this service as a guarantee to farmers in securing hardy 
adaptable seed for their particular section. Use this protection and only buy alfalfa 
with a U. S. Verified Origin Certificate attached to every bag.

Alfalfa is the best legume for hay or permanent pasture on deep, rich well drained 
soil high in organic matter, lime and phosphate. Inoculate and sow in March, April, 
August or September, on a well prepared firm seed bed, with a broadcast seeder (see 
page 75), drill or by hand, and roll afterwards. Apply 400 lbs. per acre of WOOD’S 
SUPER STANDARD FERTILIZER. If top dressed each spring a stand should last 
6 to 8 years, giving 3 to 5 cuttings a year, producing 3 to 6 tons per acre of the finest 
hay. (5ut when suckers are 1 to 2 inches high, just before half of the bloom show. 
Do not cut late in the fall. One acre furnished succulent nutritious grazing for 1,000 
lbs. of hogs. 
WOOD’S GENUINE KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA 
The most popular strain in the East 
It stands the severe winters of Kansas and will come through 
our winters splendidly, rarely ever winter-killing. It makes a quick 
spring growth and grows vigorously till fall. Tests from Ohio to 
Georgia prove Kansas Grown Alfalfa yields more hay than from 
any other source. 
WOOD’S UTAH ALFALFA 
The high altitude at which this seed was produced gives it re¬ 
sistance to cold, particularly suited it to the Piedmont sections 
and northerly states. A little later than Kansas-grown in starting 
its spring growth, but in field tests has been about its equal to it. 
WOOD’S OKLAHOMA-KANSAS ALFALFA 
The senior agronomist of the United States Department of Agri¬ 
culture in a letter to us said: “In the southern half of the United 
States, Oklahoma and Kansas alfalfa generally survive the winters 
satusfactorily, and under such conditions we have found no signifi¬ 
cant difference in yield, in general, it appears that Kansas and 
Oklahoma alfalfas are suited for growing in about the same part of 
the United States, though it would seem that Kansas alfalfa might 
he expected to survive slightly more severe winter conditions than 
Oklahoma alfalfa.” 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
Grimm Alfalfa is the hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the 
severest winters of our mountain sections. It has a deep branch¬ 
ing root growth that gives the plant a firm hold on the soil and 
jirevents heaving hv frequent freezes and thaws, and also adapts 
it to shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near the surface, 
or if your farm is in the mountain section, it will pay you to give 
Grimm the preference. 
WHITE DUTCH CDOVER —The clover to include in all lawn or 
pasture mixtures on all types of soil, even sandy, acid, or in 
shade, although it grows most luxuriously in limed moist low¬ 
land. It furnishes winter and spring pasturage, preferred by all 
livestock, is not easy to tramp out, restricts washing, adds fer¬ 
tility, and aids growth of companion grasses. Inoculate and sow 
in spring nr late summer, 5 to 8 lbs. per acre alone, or 2 to 3 lbs. 
in mixture. 
WHITE SWEET CDOVER —Scarified. A wonderful pasture, hay, 
soil improving and honey plant. Adapted to all well drained soils 
if inoculated and limed. It is a good crop to condition land for 
alfalfa, which it resembles. It is biennial, growing from a deep 
root system the second year, and will reseed if allowed to. It 
makes an enormous vigorous growth, allowing several cuttings a 
year, but should be cut before blooms appear. It is a splendid 
pasture crop, relished by all livestock and will not cause bloat¬ 
ing. Inoculate and sow preferably on small grains 15 lbs. per 
acre from February to April. 
EADINO WHITE CLOVER —A tall and vigorous strain of white 
clover for pastures on moist bottom land. Described on page 2.
