been grown successfully in Ontario, Canada. About equal to 
“Grimm” in hardiness and production. Worth trying if you 
have severe weather in your section. Price is moderate. And 
coming to you from Hoffman, it is clean seed, free of weeds. 
We don’t sell any other kind. 
KANSAS ALFALFA SEED 
(U. S. Verified Origin ) 
Customers have been getting extra good results from this seed, 
especially in Southeastern Pennsylvania and southward. Prob- 
ably because Kansas plants ave to be hardy, have to be able 
to withstand conditions that kill weaklings before they get to 
the seed-producing stage. This seed is genuine Kansas, Govern- 
ment tagged. Dependable. Thoroughly cleaned. We submit 
it on the basis of the good results reported by Hoffman cus- 
tomers. 
AMOUNTS OF MOLASSES FOR GRASS SILAGE 
In using molasses as a preservative for grass silage the fol- 
lowing amounts should be mixed with each ton of green 
weight. Grasses and small grains—40 lbs. Grass and clover 
(50-50)—60 Ibs. Clover, alfalfa, or other legumes—80 lbs. 
To calculate gallonage, figure a gallon of molasses at 1134 
Ibs.

“T used your seeds for many 
years. but there came a time 
when I felt I would have to 
buy cheaper seeds.... I 
did??? Before you are ready 
to ship this order, send me a 
reminder, and I will mail 
check.”—B, B. Dickey, Som- 
erset County, Pa. 
Four tons alfalfa from an 
acre will remove about 168 
Ibs. of potash, and 130 Ibs. 
of lime. It would require 
336 Ibs. of 50% muriate 
of potash annually to meet 
this potash demand, not to 
mention the amount re- 
quired to replace that lost 
through leaching and soil 
erosion. 
GRASS SILAGE 
Grass silage is becoming 
more popular. Alfalfa is the 
most widely used form. 80 to 
100 Ibs. molasses per ton of 
green weight is added to 
make the silage more _ pala- 
table, and give it better 
keeping quality. Scene below

silage for winter feeding.
