No other “good feeling” on the farm, like a 
thick, clean stand of clover knee deep or 
deeper! Back of such stands is usually a 
story of good seed sown. . Hoffman’s 
Clover has helped make thousands of them. 
..- Dependable indeed for times like now! 
Hay—Feed It 
or Sell It? 

If you find yourself with several extra loads 
of hay from which you are tempted to save 
some extra cash, the general answer is ‘“‘don’t 
do it.” If this is happening regularly, it in- 
dicates one of two things: either too much 
land is in hay, in which you are losing out 
on more profitable cash crops... or you are 
not raising all the live stock your farm could 
support. 
When you sell a ton of clover hay—getting 
$16 to $20—you are parting with as much 
fertility as you would in selling 2,000 pounds 
of cattle or pigs worth ten times as much. 
Hay isa raw product. Pork, beef, wool, milk, 
butter represent manufactured products. 
The man who feeds his hay is a manufacturer 
as well as a producer, with two profits in- 
stead of one. The heavy manure waste from 
his raw materials (such as his hay) goes 
right back into his fields to prevent loss of his 
farm’s fertility. 
If you have any hay to sell... sell it to 
yourself. Get a few extra heads of live stock, 
and get your cash from the hay as feed. In 
the next few years, either meat or milk is 
going to be in good demand at desirable 
prices. In that way you'll gain the long 
profit, and at the same time not rob your 
own farm of its fertility. 
Top dressing timothy in early spring 
with 16 to 20 pounds of nitrogen, as 
in about 100 pounds of nitrate of soda 
or sulphate of ammonia, will greatly in- 
crease the crop. Sixty lbs. total plant 
food in a 1-1-1 or 1-2-1 ratio should give 
a still greater increase. This is advis- 
able where timothy is to be mown for 
several years. 
Clover ...so widely used ... such an important farm crop 
yet why do some folks overlook one vital point .. . its 
background? Where did it grow? Is it suitable seed? 
If seed doesn’t come from a heavy producing strain, you 
can't expect it to produce well. With every bag of Hoffman 
Extra’’ Clover comes a U.S. Verified Origin tag proving that 
it was grown in dependable, hardy seed states. If seed isn't 
clean, its foul weeds grow fast and choke out your clover. 
Every pound of Hoffman Seed goes through many different 
cleaners (often 3 to 5) to make it as clean as humanly pos- 
sible. Even 2 per cent difference in clean seed may repre- 
sent 50,000 more foul weeds per acre. 
Thousands depend on Hoffman Clover because of the 
above facts. Seed prices are usually “all over the lot,’ but 
these farmers aren't tempted by bargains. They know cheap 
seed lacks one of those important elements. They constantly 
report 3, 4 and more tons of hay per acre—proof that it pays 
to be sure. If you aren't already using Hoffman Clover seed, 
sow it this time. Lime your field well where necessary, be 
sure to inoculate—see the difference good seed makes! 
HOFFMAN “EXTRA’’ RED CLOVER 
(U. S. Verified Origin.) No guesswork—the government tag 
tells exactly where the seed came from. Here are handled 
only the native strains that can be depended on to ‘’winter”’ 
well in northern sections and high altitudes. No other brand 
is more popular through the East—or more dependable for 
producing heavy stands of palatable feed, either as pasture, 
as hay or grass silage. The seed crop from these hardy 
Hoffman sources is extremely short this year. Order early! 
““MIDLAND’’ AND ““\CUMBERLAND’”’ CLOVERS 
Two true red clovers rather new hereabouts. Both bred for 
high resistance to Anthracnose ("‘stem-spot” disease, which 
may spread to ruin the plants). Both have done so well that 
the AAA has given additional payments for their seeding. 
“Midland” seems best adapted for high altitudes and upper 
Pennsylvania and regions north, ‘‘Cumberland” for lower 
localities and states to the south. 
“EXTRA’’ ALSIKE CLOVER 
The popular white-blossom clover. Very hardy, withstands 
acidity, produces well on colder, wetter soils which won't 
support other clovers. Seed is small and goes far, making a 
lower-cost planting. Many farmers like to mix 2 or 3 parts 
of Red to 1 of Alsike. “Extra” is the cream of the crop. 
NOTE: Sometimes we can offer “Economy” Alsike and 
Red Clover which may contain a little White Dutch, timothy, 
sweet or other crop seed. Price List will show them, if 
available. 
“WHITE DUTCH’”’ (PASTURE) CLOVER 
A spreading variety, withstands trampling, is rich in pro- 
tein. Frequently used with blue grass, because of its value 
as a nitrogen producer. Good nectar-producer for bees.
