MINNESOTA GROWN CLOVER SEED 
Only Northern Grown Clovers can be depended upon for Hardiness 

_ Clovers are an important factor in soil renovation through maintain- 
ing or increasing in the soil the supply of vegetable matter and the 
supply of nitrogen. 
Clovers have a heavier root system that leaves vegetable matter and 
fertility in the soil when it dies or when plowed under. Clover should 
be cut for hay as soon as the first blossoms begin to turn brown. This 
will result in the greatest yield of palatable hay. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
*~¢ A Alsike Clover has the same soil-building prop- 
There is much complaint of worn-out soils, weeds and unprofitable 
crops coming from those who once secured bountiful yields and satis- 
factory profits when the land was new. Those who have used Clover reg- 
ularly in the cropping system have no such complaints. Some kind of 
Clovers may be grown in practically every part of the United States. 
They have beneficial action on the soil and may be seeded with prac- 
tically all kinds of grains. Clovers also serve as outstanding hay and 
pasture crops. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
Medium Red Clover fits better into crop rota- 
tions than any other legume. It will increase 
the yield of succeeding crops, besides furnish- 
ing many tons of hay of high protein content. 
The first crop is usually cut for hay, before it 
comes into full bloom. The second crop may be 
erties as Red Clover, storing nitrogen in the 
soil, thereby increasing the yields of succeeding 
grain and corn crops from 25 to 50%. It is 
a true hardy perennial, with fiber instead of 
tap roots, and is not injured by thawing: and 
freezing. 
cut for hay or seed or turned under, to fertilize 
the soil. 
Red Clover is a biennial which means that it 
will grow for two seasons only and- then must 
be reseeded. It is adapted to any well drained 
soil free from acidity and is better for general 
northwest conditions. than any other clover. It

Sow Red. Clover at the rate. of.10 Ibs. per 
acre with small grain or flax. Use about one- 
half or two-thirds of a normal seeding of grain 
or flax so as not to smother the clover. We
