}An Entirely 
Different Type... 
An entirely different type—once planted, it comes back 
each spring from the crowns like alfalfa, and is often 
i }ealled “The Poor Land Alfalfa.” All other lespedeza varie- 
» } ties must be re-seeded or allowed to drop their seed each 
i B year. 
Sericea has an enormous root system, penetrating 
often four feet into the soil, with a perfect mat of smaller 
‘roots spreading everywhere—you can see what this means 
as a positive cure for soil erosion. Further, it seems to be 
the answer to a farmer’s prayer for a pasture that is 
drought proof. Sericea pastures in Korea in use for fifty 
years are better today than ever. The enormous root sys- 
tem is loaded with nodules of nitrogen, adding immensely 
to soil fertility provided you inoculate when seeding. 
Sericea will grow apparently anywhere in the South 
on almost any type of soil (except Mississippi Delta buck- 
shot) without liming or any kind of treatment. Two cut-

WHAT IT IS 
ATLACIDE is a fine white powder, easily and completely 
soluble in water for use as a spray. Manufactured specifically 
for weed killing purposes, it gives thorough leaf coverage and 
is quickly absorbed by plant tissues for fast penetration to the 
roots. Altacide does not kill weeds by merely burning off the 
leaf surfaces by caustic action, which usually results in only 
temporary eradication. Altacide kills the roots and consequently 
the weeds are permanently eradicated. Combined with effective 
killing action, Altacide has the advantages of being non-poison- 
ous and safer to use. 
RESULTS TO EXPECT 
Altacide will give highly satisfactory results on all kinds of 
vegetation if used in accordance with directions. Full results 
may not appear until the Spring following treatment as _ the 
chemical continues to work through the Winter. Weeds which 
-tregrow after treatment will frequently winter-kill because of 
| their weakened condition. 
Altacide is 700 times more effective than common salt. 
Does not permanently affect soil fertility although treated land 
may remain partially sterile during the Summer following 
treatment. 
THE SAFER CHLORATE 
ALTACIDE has earned this name by giving practical in- 
/surance against loss of life or property. With Altacide the fire 
| hazard is greatly reduced over that of certain dangerous weed- 
killing chemicals which may cause sprayed vegetation, opera- 
tor’s clothing, equipment or farm property to burst into un-

tings of hay and a seed:‘crop may be obtained each year, 
as high as four tons of dry hay in one season, the equal 
of alfalfa in feeding value. Sericea is extremely leafy. 
Plant only hulled and scarified seed in April or May, 
after danger of frost is past. This treatment of the seed 
brings quick germination. If you plant unhulled seed in the 
spring you won’t get 10 per cent germination, so avoid 
this. For seed crop, plant 4 pounds scarified seed per acre 
in 244-foot rows. The yield is from 300 to 900 pounds of 
seed per acre. For hay, sow 20 pounds of scarified seed per 
acre. Have your seed bed free of weeds, thoroughly plowed, 
disked and harrowed, cover seed very lightly—you can use 
a light roller to advantage, firming the soil to conserve 
moisture. 
The first year you will see lots of grass and weeds, 
but don’t give up—the second year Sericea looks much bet- 
ter, and the third year, and thereafter, you have a crop 
you will be eternally proud of. 

FOR PERMANENT KILL OF 
UNDESIRABLE VEGETATION 
controllable flames by ignition or friction, atmospheric heat, or 
spontaneous combustion. However, clothing or equipment, con- 
tinuously saturated, may become a fire hazard when dried and 
ignited. Therefore, clothing and equipment should be washed 
after use and smoking or fire avoided. 
Altacide is non-poisonous, but somewhat like phosphates 
or common salt it is injurious when taken in excessive doses. 
Treated areas should not be grazed, as effectiveness of applica- 
tion is reduced. Also, salty taste of sprayed vegetation may 
induce cattle which have not had access to salt to greatly over- 
eat or to eat injurious weeds which they would otherwise avoid. 
HOW TO USE 
Dissolve from 1 to 1% lbs. of Altacide in each gallon of 
water. One pound will kill weeds on approximately 100 sq. ft. 
of completely infested area. Apply preferably with a pressure 
sprayer for atomization to thoroughly wet leaves, stems, and 
root crowns. Late Summer or Fall applications made under 
humid conditions, rather than in hot, dry weather, give best 
results. About 30 days after first treatment, regrowth may ap- 
pear because of insufficient coverage or cut root sections. Make 
a second application on such regrowth when it is 6 to 8 inches 
high. Every effort should be made to get a complete kill the 
first season. 
Do not disturb the treated area in any way until the follow- 
ing Spring. Burning, pasturing, cultivating, or otherwise dis- 
turbing the plant system lessens the effectiveness of the chem- 
ical and usually causes failure. Do not plow until certain that 
all roots are dead. 
Write for complete information on cover crops to increase 
effectiveness of applications.
