ALFALFA--King of all Hay Crops 
ALFALFA is one of the most valuable hay and pasture 
crops that can be seeded during late August and September. 
Can be grown with success on all fertile well drained soil 
having a fine firm seed bed. The best permanent stands of 
Alfalfa are generally obtained on upland or well drained 
second bottom land. Should be fertilized with about 800 
pounds of 4-12-12 to the acre, or if the soil has sufficient 
nitrogen, use the same amount of 2-12-12. Also 20 pounds of 
Borax per acre mixed with fertilizer should be applied at 
seeding time, particularly in most sections of Virginia. 
The Virginia Agricultural Extension Division urges all 
farmers to grow Alfalfa for these five reasons: 
1. Every kind of livestock likes it. 
2. It ranks high in quality over all leguminous hay for 
summer grazing. 
3. It produces 3 to 10 years under favorable conditions, 
3 to 4 cuttings a season. 
4. Deeply rooted, resistant to drought. 
5. Produces higher annual yield under proper conditions 
than most other legumes. 
ADAPTABLE SEED and INOCULATION are most im- 
portant for satisfactory stands. Approved Oklahoma and 
Kansas grown Alfalfa have proven to be the best strains for 
general agricultural purposes in all the eastern states, 
both being exceptionally hardy strains. Kansas Alfalfa, on 
account of a rainy season at harvest, will hardly be available 
in time for planting this season in the eastern states. We 
are offering our customers the Oklahoma Approved Seed with 
confidence, as we have handled this seed for several years and 
it has proven to be exceptionally winter hardy. The Approved 
Oklahoma seed in tests carried on for several years in Ohio, 
Indiana and Illinois, indicates clearly that there is no differ- 
ence in winter hardiness from Kansas seed. The parent 
stock of Oklahoma Approved Alfalfa was introduced from 
various northern sources by settlers in the early days, and in 
many instances the same seed has been reproduced over a 
period of 30 years and grown continuously in western Okla- 
homa. We recommend its use for all sections of the eastern 
states as equal to Kansas-grown seed. The O.P.A. ceiling 
price on Approved Oklahoma Alfalfa is the same as that of 
the Kansas seed and it should not be confused with the 
common Oklahoma Alfalfa, which has a ceiling of $3.50 per 
100 pounds lower. 

Wood’s Permanent Grass and Clover Mixtures 
FOR HAY AND PASTURE Sow 30 to 35 Ibs. per acre. 
These mixtures over a period of years have given won- 
derful results as heavy and permanent producers of nu- 
tritious hay and pasture crops. Our mixtures contain 20 to 
25% clover seed. 
WOOD’S PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURES Nos. 1 to 3 
Contains grasses and clovers which make their maximum 
growth at different times throughout the year, furnishing 
abundant continuous grazing: — 
No. 1. For light gravelly or sandy soil. 
No. 2. For good loam soil. 
No. 3. For moist bottom land. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
It is generally conceded that for the Southeastern states 
there is no better soil improvement crop that can be put in 
during September than Crimson Clover. It furnishes a fine 
winter and spring growth, giving abundant grazing from 
December to May, when green feed is so essential, besides 
giving an excellent winter crop to prevent loss of soil fertility. 
The crop of Crimson Clover turned out to be 
much shorter than earlier anticipated and with 
the enormous amount of seed being consumed 
under, the A.A.A. program, besides the heavy 
demand experienced in August, there has de- 
veloped an acute shortage of seed available this 
season. Practically all stocks in the producing 
area have been exhausted. It is estimated that 
the crop this year will range slightly over 
10 million pounds, in comparison with last year’s 
crop and carry over totaling around 17 to 18 
million pounds, which shows an acute shortage 
of seed available at this time. 
AUSTRIAN WINTER PEAS 
This winter legume, being exceptionally hardy, 
is becoming one of the most popular soil improv- 
ing crops in the southern states. No doubt, due 
‘to the shortage of Crimson Clover, it will be 
used more extensively than in previous years.

WOOD’S PERMANENT HAY MIXTURES Nos. 6 to 8 
Contains grasses and clovers which mature at the same 
time, making bumper hay crops: 
No. 6. For light gravelly or sandy soil. 
No. 7. -For good loam or clay soil. 
No. 8 For moist bottom land. 
WOOD’S SOUTHERN PERMANENT PASTURE-HAY 
MIEXTURE No. 12 
A fine mixture for hay or pasture in the Southern Coastal 
and Gulf States. Suitable to both light and heavy soils. 
HAIRY VETCH 
The U. S. Government Soil Conservation Program recog- 
nizes that Hairy Vetch is an absolute necessity to southern 
agriculture, as being one of the best winter cover and soil 
building crops available. Vetch thrives on nearly all soil, in- 
cluding acid types, and can be safely sown after the middle of 
September until November in practically all sections of the 
Southeast. 
We have just received information that in one 
of the very largest producing sections of Hairy 
Vetch the quality of the crop is turning out to 
be very inferior, owing to the weevil infesta- 
tion. As a result, we anticipate an acute short- 
age of high germinating seed this season. In 
the section above referred to, reports are show- 
ing that a large percentage of the crop is only 
testing from 50% to 70% germination, and seed 
of this quality will doubtless be offered through 
various channels at prices ranging from 2c. to 
4c. per pound below high-germinating seed, 
testing 90% or better. 4 
The Hairy Vetch which we are offering our 
trade this year has been most carefully selected 
from sections which are not showing weevil in- 
festation and will test fully 90% germination. 
Seed of this quality will be scarce the coming 
season. Be sure to inoculate Vetch, Austrian 
Winter Peas and Crimson Clover.
