Plant Sweet Clover  Piymens 
Legume crops such as Sweet Clover will be in greater demand 
than ever before because of increased plantings for the maintenance 
of fertility under the U. S. Soil Conservation Program. Sweet 
Clover cannot be surpassed for soil improvement due to its rapidity 
of growth, large tonnage produced and its comparatively low seed 
cost. 
Sweet Clover as a Hay or Pasture Crop 
Sweet Clover is a leading crop in the United Siates. As a bi- 
ennial legume, it fits in with any crop rotation, besides yielding a 
very large return of hay and pasture. Sweet Clover may grow one 
to three feet the first season and may be clipped for hay or pastured 
lightly if it makes a good growth. During the second year it grows 
very dense and rapidly and if cut for hay, it should be done early 
in ee season, before the blossoms appear and the stems become 
woody. 
Cut Sweet Clover six to eight inches above the ground, Allow the 
hay to wilt a few hours, then place in small cocks until it is dry 
enough to stack. One acre furnishes pasture for two to four cows 
throughout the season. Cattle rarely bloat on it. 
As a Soil Builder and Weed Control 
Sweet Clover grows on ciay, sandy, alkaline, or gumbo soil. It 
prevents drifting of shifting sandy soils. The hardpan subsoil is 
loosened by the heavy penetrating roots, allowing the necessary 
aeration and depositing large quantities of humus and _ nitrogen. 
Sweet Clover is a rank, dense grower of great value in exterminating 
weeds such as quack grass, thistle, etc.

White Blossom 
Tall Biennial Sweet Clover. 
This makes the rankest, tallest growth of any 
clover, producing the biggest hay crops and most 
luxuriant pastures. Because of its dense growth 
and the great size of its root system, it is the 
best soil enricher and green fertilizer. It is the 
best crop to grow to prepare the ground for a 
stand of alfalfa. 
The plant looks much like alfalfa, especially 
when young, but the leaves are not quite as 
smooth, and taste slightly bitter. It forms a 
main stem from which the side branches grow, 
while in alfalfa the crown sends up numerous 
shoots. 
Our seed is of fine quality, free from foul 
weed seeds, and of highest germination. Price: 
Lb. 30c, 5 lbs. $1.25, postpaid. See Blue Figure 
Price List. 
Yellow Blossom 
Dwarf Biennial Sweet Clover. 
This: variety grows shorter and is finer and 
more spreading than the white. It makes a very 
fine quality hay and pasture. Yellow Blossom 
Sweet Clover is 10 to 15 days earlier in matur- 
ing its seed, and where seasons are very short 
or unfavorable, there is an advantage in sowing 
this strain. 
It-can be cut for hay very early, and close to 
the ground, whereas the white must be cut high. 
It is also excellent for bees; supplementing the 
use of the white variety, and extending the 
season, on account of its earliness. Price: Lb. 
30c, 5 lbs. $1.25, postpaid. See Blue Figure 
Price List. 
Grundy County 
Dwarf Biennial Sweet Clover. 
Grundy County Sweet Clover is preferred by 
many farmers since it does not grow quite as 
tall as the common White Blossom variety and 
it produces finer stems and a greater number 
of leaves, making it better adapted for hay pur- 
poses. 
It matures earlier so that the hay crop can 
be cut before the small grain is harvested. 
It produces a seed crop earlier than other va- 
rieties and this is an advantage in many local- 
ities that are subjected to early frosts. The hay 
cures more rapidly than the common tall variety 
and is very palatable. 
Grundy County Sweet Clover makes an ex- 
cellent pasture but it does not last as late in 
the season as the common tall variety. Price: 
Lb. 30c, 5 Ibs. $1.25, postpaid. See Blue Figure 
Price List. 
Hubam 
Annual Sweet Clover. 
Hubam is an emergency pasture and hay crop 
to be sown in seasons where drought, freezing 
injury or other adverse conditions have wiped 
out pastures and meadows, leaving the farmers 
without any definite hay prospects. Hubam is 
a rapid grower and once it is well established 
can be pastured as you would pasture the bien- 
nial varieties of Sweet Clover. 
Hubam is an Annual Sweet Clover. 
suited for the Corn Belt section. 
3 to 7 ft. high. It will 
3 tons of hay per acre, 
soming time. It grows on any ‘good non-acid 
soil, and should be sown alone the same rate 
as other sweet clovers. Hubam will produce a 
seed crop in this latitude, in favorable growing 
seasons. Price: Lb. 40c, 5 lbs. $1.80, postpaid.

Minnesota Leads in Farm Income Gain— 
$51,254,000 Increase in 9 Months, Largest in U. S. 
BRIGHTER AND BRIGHTER IS THE OUTLOOK FOR 1941 
According to predictions the entire Northwest will show an increase in farm income of 8% 
to 10% during the coming year. 
Minnesota stands out foremost— 
ranking first in volume of increase 
in farm income—lIowa, second. 
The total farm income for 1940 is 
sure to exceed that of 1937, which 
to date is the highest since 1929. 
These increases are due to better 
prices for livestock and _ livestock 
products—due to increase in em- 
ployment and higher payroll. No 
state in the Union has a better bal- 
ance in its agriculture to take ad- 
vantage of this situation than Min- 
nesota. 
How Minnesota Ranks 
in the Entire U. S. 
Farm Production: 
FIRST—In the production of Barley, Flax, 
Creamery Butter. 
SECOND—In Oats, Rye and Dairy Cows. 
THIRD—tIn Corn, Horses and Colts. 
FOURTH—In Cattle and Calves. 
Of the state income, 72% is de- 
rived from livestock and livestock 
products—and of this, 28% is 
Dairy Income and 25% Swine. 
Farm buying power is apparently 
going to be equal at least in cash 
volume to 1929, and the farmer’s 
dollar at present will buy more than 
it did in 1929. 
The defense program will increase 
the demand for farm products for 
several years. 
Wise farmers will plan carefully 
for better farm profits. They know 
it's poor economy to plant anything 
but the best Registered Seeds, like 
‘‘Master Farmer.’’ 
In the face of advancing markets, 
order early—prices are lowest right 
now, and only 25% of the money 
is needed to protect yourself—so 
your own preparedness program 
should be—to order now.
