Enrich Your Land Sweet Clover (See-Pags’ 63) 
Make Cheap Hay 
; a Legume crops such as Sweet Clover will be in greater demand 
than ever before because of increased plantings for the maintenance 
: ' of fertility under the U. S. Soil Conservation Program. Sweet 
Clover cannot be surpassed for soil improvement due to its rapidity 
of growth, large tonnage produced and its comparatively low seed 
cost. 
Sweet Clover as a Hay or Pasture Crop 
Sweet Clover is a leading crop in the United States. As a bi- 
ennial* legume, it fits in with any crop rotation, besides yielding a 
very large return of hay and pasture. Sweet Clover may grow one 
to three feet the first season and may be clipped for hay or pastured 
lightly if it makes a good growth. During the second year it grows 
very dense and rapidly and if cut for hay, it should be done early 
in the season, before the blossoms appear and the stems become 
woody. 
Cut Sweet Clover six to eight inches above the ground. Allow the 
hay to wilt a few hours, then place in small cocks until it is dry 
enough to stack. One acre furnishes pasture for two to four cows 
throughout the season. Cattle rarely bloat on it. 
As a Soil Builder and Weed Control 
Sweet Clover grows on clay, sandy, alkaline, or gumbo soil. -It 
prevents drifting of shifting sandy soils. The hardpan subsoil is 
loosened by the heavy penetrating roots, allowing the mecessary 
aeration and depositing large quantities of humus and _ nitrogen. 
Sweet Clover is a rank, dense grower of great.value in exterminating 
weeds such as quack grass, thistle, ete. 
Use 15 Ibs. of scarified seed per acre with a nurse crop of one- 
half the usual seeding of grain or 28 to 35 Ibs. of flax per acre. 
Firm the seed bed well after planting. Inoculate with Nitragin.

75c INVESTMENT—$390.00 RETURN 
This is the actual experience of an Ohio farm- 
er who invested 75¢ in ‘‘Nitragin’’ to inoculate 
his seed for half of a 30 acre Red Clover field. 
The 15 acres sown with inoculated seed brought 
him $390.00 GREATER return, than the other 
half of the field. This included only the returns 
from the seed produced. 
In addition to bigger yields of seed, inocula- 
tion enables you to get bigger crops of hay and 
hay of better feeding value! 
Nitragin Inoculation costs you only 5¢ to 10¢ 
per acre—you can’t afford to plant any clover, 
alfalfas, or soy beans without this inexpensive 
protection, See prices at right,

Ragweed, nettle, sheep sorrel, 
cocklebur, leafy spurge, lamb’s- 
quarters, yarrow, poison oak, wild 
mustard, and even wild garlic have 
been readily killed. 
Dandelion and plantain can be 
destroyed without killing lawn 
grasses, although temporary grass 
damage may result. 
The fantastic thing about this 
miracle chemical, is its potent weed 
killimg power—even when diluted 
with 100 parts water! A small 
quantity per acre means sure death 
to weeds, yet causes only minor 
damage to other plants.

WEEDONE mixed with 60 parts 
water and sprayed on leaves, kills 
weeds quickly down to root tips. 
Just mix WEEDONE with. water 
and apply with compressed air 
sprayer (the type used for insecti- 
cides). On small patches, use one 
gallon of spray (only 2 oz. of 
WEEDONE) per 100 square feet. 
$10 to $15 worth of Weedone PER 
ACRE will eradicate an average 
infestation of bindweed, 
WEEDONE does not sterilize 
soil, does not corrode metals or 
spray equipment, does not leave a 
residue on plants that is dangerous 
to livestock or pets, does not irri- 
tate the skin, is not explosive.

less expensive than any other 
method.
