OLDS’ SWEET 
(The Great Soil Builder and Hay Crop.) 
Sweet Clover should be planted for 3 reasons: 
First—A Great Pasture Crop. When the ordinary blue grass pastures 
dry up in midsummer, Sweet Clover keeps right on growing and fur- 
nishes wonderful pasture right through the drouth period. 
Cows on Sweet Clover produce a splendid flow of milk. It will gen- 
erally pasture a thousand-pound cow per acre for a period of about 4 
months. 
Second—wWonderful Soil Builder. Sweet Clover is an excellent crop 
for building up worn-out soils. It grows faster than red clover or 
alfalfa and larger and the roots penetrate deeper into the soil. 
Third—A Valuable Hay Crop. While not quite equal to Alfalfa it 
makes good hay if cut at the right time and cattle will eat it. The 
Grundy County and the Albotrea are the best for hay. 
CULTURE—Sweet Clover is best sown in the spring with one bushel 
of extra early oats or barley per acre as nurse crop. It can also be sown 
successfully in June or July without a nurse crop or in corn at the last 
cultivation. Fifteen Pounds of Seed per Acre is usually sufficient 
—a little less for Grundy County as_the seed is smaller. 
seed before sowing with Nitragin or Nod-O-Gen. 
Use lime if your soil is sour. Most any well- 
drained soil is all right for Sweet Clover. 
Grundy County White Blossom 
Grundy County Sweet Clover has several out- 

Inoculate the 
standing advantages. First, it is three weeks 
earlier than the common sweet clover. Thus the 
seed ripens ahead of most weeds. Second, 
while it grows to a good height and makes a 
good hay crop it is not as tall as the common 
and is much more easily handled. Third, it is 
finer and more leafy than the common and 
branches thickly about a foot above the ground. 

Fourth, it yields more seed than the common, 
several farms in Grundy County producing as 
high as 8 to 15 bushels per acre. are 6 |

Field of Waconia Orange Sorghum Cane Grown in the North. 
Sorghum Cane 
WACONIA ORANGE SORGHUM CANE. 
Waconia Orange Cane has been recently developed by selected breeding 
over a period of four or five years and it is a great improvement over 
the old strain of Amber cane. It has a stronger germinating seed, better 
withstanding unfavorable growing conditions, grows a much heavier but 
shorter stalk, withstands storms and wet weather without lodging and 
most important of all in running tests produces a better quality of syrup 
and more of it per acre. Sow 4 to 8 pounds of seed to the acre for 
sorghum and 15 to 25 pounds for fodder. 
Prices, by mail: Lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00, postpaid. By freight: 10 lbs., 
$1.20; 100 lbs., $9.00. 
EARLY AMBER SORGHUM CANE 
More farmers in the north are now raising Sorghum, and an acre 
or two planted to Early Amber Cane will make a fine lot of syrup and 
help the sugar question out very satisfactorily. Plant in rows and 
cultivate the same as corn, using northern grown seed for Sorghum. 
Two to five pounds will plant an acre. Our seed is choice northern 
grown,
