Early Maturing—Heavier Yielding Lespedeza 
The great value of this earlier, taller growing 
Lespedeza was more clearly demonstrated this 
year than ever before. There is hardly a farmer 
who has seen Lespedeza pasture during hot sum- 
mer months but wanted it on his farm. But 
southern Iowa seemed about as far north as the 
regular Lespedeza would reseed. The Early Giant 
Korean also known as 19604 is fully two weeks 
earlier and will mature seed 100 to 150 miles 
further north: U?'S.-D: A. states itis a reliablé 
seed producer to the northern limit of Illinois. 
That covers areas up to north central Iowa and to 
many sections of Nebraska, Indiana, Ohio, 
Pennsylvania and others where the regular Korean 
is too late or too small. 
Big Profit Features 
Growth up to 2 feet was reported in the dry sea- 
son of 1936. This Korean will stand a lot of dry 
weather yet responds to favorable moisture con- 
ditions. We have reports that indicate the Early 
Giant will grow twice as tall as the regular Korean. 
It will grow on very poor soils without lime as a 
seed producer it is also prolific with yields as high 
as 1000 Ibs. per acre reported. Because of its earli- 
ness it is more certain to make a seed crop. 
Grain, Hay and Seed Crops Same Year 
Farmers brought seed to us this fall that came 
from stands which had been’ sown the year before 
with small grain. The Early Giant seeded in the 
fall. The next spring small grain was again sown

on the same land but no more 
Lespedeza. He took off a good 
crop of oats in early July, 
then: in August he harvested 
a hay crop and in October a 
seed crop of Lespedeza. The 
volunteer stand of this clover was secured at 
no cost for seed. Do not take from this that it will 
become a pest. Whenever you put the land into a 
cultivated crop you will kill the Lespedeza. 
A Crop Many Farmers Need 
Early Giant Lespedeza provides an abundance of 
fine stemmed, leafy, high protein pasture during 
hot summer months when many other crops are 
dormant. It may be used in mixture with other 
grasses or clovers and such combinations are popu- 
lar as this gives early pasture from the Lespedeza. 
Sow 12 to 18 lbs. per acre for straight Korean seed- 
ing. You can use less seed and it will thicken up 
by reseeding in another year. Besure to have a 
firm seed bed and do not cover over % inch deep. 
If you want to top seed an_ old pasture be sure to 
harrow so the seed will get down to the soil. Inoc- 
ulate your seed. See page 41. 
Early Giant Korean will make you money as a 
pasture and generally as a seed and often a hay 
crop. Get started this year with this legume that 
will make your acres produce more. Extra fine 
for thin land.
