THE TWO POPULAR 
HOFFMAN HAY MIXTURES 
Just how long either can be maintained in this 
seed shortage is not known. Alsike being in 
both and alsike seed being so very short in 
supply. But here are the facts about these seeds 
—while they last. 
“ECONOMICAL MIXTURE’”’ 
(About ¥% red clover, % alsike, % timothy.) 
Very popular. Pleasing a great number of Hoff- 
man patrons through many years. Proportions 
may vary slightly, sometimes a little alfalfa, 
sweet or other clovers may be present. . . but 
general average approximates the listing printed 
above. The blend is made up of lots ofttimes 
harvested in the mixed condition—hence the 
lower cost. Quality is good—tfree from noxious 
weeds—and of high germination test. 
““ALSIKE AND TIMOTHY”, 
This blend of seed usually averages around the 
20% mark of alsike clover. Could overrun that 
percentage at times and this year may be a little 
under. ... At all times this offering represents 
good quality seed ... and a saving in cost com- 
pared to what the separate lots would cost un- 
mixed. One fine point is the ability of both these 
seeds to do so well together. Both thrive on 
poorer soils, and are ideal partners in lower or 
moist locations. Ripen together. Of course they 
both do very well on good ground. This offering 
will help many folks in revising their customary 
formulas. It adds a little alsike that may be im- 
possible to get any other way. 
“WHITE DUTCH CLOVER’”’ 
Another item very short in supply this year. Its 
merits are known by all. Low-growing, spread- 
ing, withstands trampling, high in protein. Ad- 
visable in pastures, thrives with the grasses.

FARM FACT: Wooden dollars— 
money from judicious sales from 
farm woodlands—are just as good 
as any man’s money. 
Lime ...and More Lime 
So many soils eee et the lime 
they really need hen aé_ soil 
analysis pent calls for heavy lim- 
ing—apply in ONE HEAVY 
dose. Pate: ‘better than several 
light shots. Some folks put two 
tons to the acre, because it pays 
them! They get crops! One or 1% 
tons certainly helps. But it’s got to 
be put on, or it won't help. And it 
should always be worked down 
thoroughly and deep. 
FARM FACT: As with life, so with 
livestock ... you get out of it 
about what you put into it. 
Cut Legume Hay—Fine 
Poultry Feed 
Cut fine with ensilage or I 
cutter. Leave short stems, less than 
3 or 4 inches best. Feed on th 
floor. Leaves and fine stem 
eaten. -Coarser stems hi
