Post Paid Prices on This Page Through Third Zone Only. Quantity Prices on Yellow Price List Enclosed. 
ALFALFA PRODUCES MORE FEED THAN 
ANY OTHER CROP 
The yield should be more than three tons per acre where 
there is abundant rainfall and a long growing season. 
Alfalfa and corn fed together make a good ration for all 
live stock—Alfalfa belongs on every farm—for hog pasture, 
hay for the dairy herd, family cow or chickens. For sheep 
and beef cattle, no other roughage is equal to alfalfa hay. 
When comparing alfalfa with other crops, remember one 
sowing of alfalfa may last five years. : 
Alfalfa should be sown in the spring as soon as there is no 
danger of freezing weather or early enough in the fall to 
permit the plants to become well established before winter 
sets in. Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. Except under very 
favorable conditions, alfalfa should be sown without a nurse 
crop. 
Alfalfa should be cut for hay when the plants are well in 
bloom.

1050—KANSAS ALFALFA—Seed grown in Kansas has been 
for many years very popular and planted freely over the en- 
tire South. Kansas pioneered in alfalfa production and seed 
from this area, having withstood the extremely rigorous cli- 
mate of this state, is certainly well adapted to planting in 
the Central South. Kansas grown seed yields an abundance 
of forage and if properly cared for will produce profitably 
for a number of years.

1051—DAKOTA 12 ALFALFA—This variety is the result of 
years of careful selection and is practically immune to win- 
ter killing. Probably yields a little less tonnage than seed 
produced farther south, but is a stronger, hardier type. 
Post paid—l lb., 75c; 5 Ibs., $2.75; 10 Ibs., $4.95; 20 Ibs., $9.40. 
1068—OKLAHOMA ALFALFA—As compared to many other 
alfalfa seed producing sections Oklahoma is probably the 
most recently developed. Since this is the case these fields 
are practically disease free and there is an absence of weeds 
injurious to alfalfa production found in areas that have been 
planted in alfalfa for many years. The State of Oklahoma 
has a very varying climate—extreme cold in winter and in- 
tense heat in summer. Heavy rainfall is not uncommon and 
extreme drouth is experienced almost annually. Because the 
plants are subjected to such weather adversities they are ex- 
tremely hardy. For these reasons Oklahoma seed has proven 
perfectly adapted to this area, and since it affords three to 
five abundant cuttings a year it is rapidly replacing seed 
from other sources. 
Post paid—1 Ib., 65c; 5 Ibs., $2.50; 10 Ibs., $4.50; 20 Ibs., $8.50 
1052—ARGENTINE—About eight years ago we began to offer 
Argentine Alfalfa imported from South America. It has 
proven entirely adapted to the South, producing heavy yields 
consistently and withstanding the adversities of our South- 
ern climate unusually well. Many large planters have re- 
ported even heavier yields from their Argentine plantings 
than from any other types of Alfalfa. It grows rapidly afford- 
ing 2 to 4 cuttings per year and resists being crowded out by 
grass and weeds as well as native grown seed. Ten per cent 
of these seed are stained red to comply with Federal Law. 
Post paid—1 Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $1.95; 10 Ibs., $3.40; 20 Ibs., $6.30
