WOOD'S ADAPTED ALFALFA SEED 
WHEN TO SOW —March or April, one 
inch deep on sandy soils; shallower on 
heavy soils. 20 to 25 lbs. per acre. 
HOW TO SOW—Use a broadcast seeder 
(see page 75), with drill or by hand. 
Roll the land after sowing; have a firm 
seed bed. 
CUTTING—Cut when suckers are one 
to two inches high; do not cut late in 
the fall. 
SOIL—A thoroughly prepared, deep, 
rich, well-drained soil containing ¢lenty 
of organic matter. 
LIME—Heavy user; apply two ions or 
more limestone to the acre, 
FERTILIZER—Heavy user of phos- 
phoric acid; apply also after cutting. 
INOCULATION—Important. Be sure to 
inoculate. See page 63 for inoculation. 
Once established, it will last for years, 
making 3 to 5 cuttings each season.

ALFALFA 
The Crop That Pays Constant Dividends 
Alfalfa is one of the few crops that cannot be overproduced. It 
stands for years, yields several cuttings a season and makes a hay 
about as high in protein as wheat bran—it more nearly approaches 
perfection as a forage crop than any one other crop. When fed 
with a grain ration, it supplies the protein necessary for a balanced 
food. For dairy, breeding and fattening cattle, hogs and sheep, it is 
the ideal hay. As a soil builder one of the experiment stations 
claims that it adds more than twice as much ammonia to the soil 
as red clover. Alfalfa does not ask the farmer to buy expensive 
nitrogen, but gets all it needs from the air and stores it in the land 
to make bigger the crops that follow it. 
KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA 
KANSAS GROWN ALFALFA over years of testing and actual 
field results has proven the best adapted for the middle and south 
Atlantic states. Winter hardy, growing vigorously from early 
spring till fall, starts its growth earlier than alfalfa grown in more 
northern climates. 
APPROVED OKLAHOMA GROWN ALFALFA 
For Eastern Virginia, Carolinas and other Southern States, Okla- 
homa grown alfalfa is highly recommended. In the southern half 
of the United States, Oklahoma and Kansas grown alfalfa generally 
survive the winters satisfactorily, and under such conditions we 
have found no significant difference in yield. In general it appears 
that Kansas and Oklahoma alfalfas are suited for growing in 
about the same part of the United States, though it would seem 
that Kansas alfalfa might be expected to survive slightly more 
severe winter conditions than Oklahoma alfalfa. Owing to the 
reasonable price of Oklahoma alfalfa, which section produced a 
very fine crop, we recommend this strain very highly for sowing 
in the sections indicated above. 
GRIMM ALFALFA 
Grimm Alfalfa is the hardiest of all alfalfas and will stand the 
severest winters of our mountain sections. It has a deep branching 
root growth that gives the plant a firm hold on the soil and pre- 
vents heaving by frequent freezes and thaws, and also adapts it to 
shallower soils. If your soil has a hardpan near the surface, or if 
your farm is in the mountain section, it will pay you to give Grimm 
the preference.

A Great Combination Forage Crop and Soil Builder 

Sow Wood’s Alfalfa for Bumper Crops 
ABOUT WOOD'S ALFALFA—The Oklahoma Alfalfa we are 
offering is of Approved Origin, the parent stock of which was 
introduced from various northern sources by settlers in the 
early days. In many instances this same seed has been re- 
produced over a period of thirty years, and grown continu- 
ously in western Oklahoma. Do not confuse this fine strain 
with ordinary southern grown Oklahoma seed which can be 
secured at slightly lower prices. 
Our Grimm Alfalfa is the genuine strain, but owing to 
government ceilings it is commanding less price than either 
Kansas or Approved Oklahoma. Only limited supplies of 
Grimm are available and your early order is advisable. All 
our alfalfa show a purity of 99.25% to 99.50%, free of noxious 
weeds, and strictly bright quality new crop. 
Wood’s Dixie White Clover 
One of the few plants that furnishes abundant grazing: through- 
out the year under severe southern conditions. The hottest dry 
summers do not stop its steady growth. It has no equal for winter 
and early spring grazing by its vigorous growth in the coldest 
weather. It blooms a month earlier than white dutch clover, 
growing several inches taller with leaves and stems larger. In a 
two-year test (except Ladino) with varieties from all over the 
world, it made by far the best grazing. It was the earliest to 
bloom, made the most luxuriant winter and early spring growth, 
10 inches tall and stood the hot dry summers. 
White Dutch Clover 
Include it in all lawn or pasture mixtures on all types of soil, 
even sandy, acid, or in shade, although it grows most luxuriously 
in limed moist lowland. It furnishes winter and spring pasturage, 
preferred by all livestock, is not easy to tramp out, restricts 
washing, adds fertility, and aids growth of companion grasses. 
Inoculate and sow in spring or late summer, 5 to 8 lbs. per acre 
alone, or 2 to 3 lbs. in mixture, 
LADINO WHITE CLOVER 
Sow it for a year ’round pasture. U.S. Department of Agriculture 
says: ‘Ladino is the largest growing form of white clover. It is 
similar to White Dutch, but grows twice as large.”’ 
It is a long lived perennial, excellent for grazing, as well as pro- 
ducing a most nutritious and palatable hay crop. Its tap root goes 
down one to three feet. The stems run on the ground, taking root. 
It is not subject to alfalfa diseases and is ideal to plant after al- 
falfa. It does not bloat livestock as much as other clovers, but is 
safer to plant with paspalum, timothy, red top, meadow fescue, 
Kentucky blue, orchard, carpet and rye grass. : 
White Sweet Clover 
A wonderful pasture, hay, soil improving and honey plant. Itisa 
good crop to condition land for alfalfa, which it resembles. It is 
biennial, growing from a deep root system the second year, and 
‘ will reseed if allowed to. It makes an enormous vigorous growth, 
allowing several cuttings a year, but should be cut before blooms 
appear. It is a splendid pasture crop, relished by all livestock and 
will not cause bloating; will grow on very poor soil provided it is 
well limed and the seeds inoculated, Sow preferably on small 
grains 15 lbs. per acre from February to April.
