Minnesota grown but grown in Canada. On account of the 
short crop in Canada, probably no seed will be allowed for 
export to the United States during 1944. 
Other Alfalfas 
Other strains most generally used and best adapted to the 
North Central states are Montana grown Alfalfa, Idaho 
grown Alfalfa, Utah grown Alfalfa, Kansas grown Alfalfa, 
and Dakota grown Alfalfa. Supplies from some of these 
states will be in very limited quantities and others in fair 
supply. 
Bromus and Alfalfa in Combination 
To supplement the short supplies of Alfalfa and to pro- 
vide for good yields of hay and an abundance of nutritious, 
succulent and palatable pasturage, the seeding of Brome 
Grass with Alfalfa is recommended by all state experimental 
stations. A mixture of 6 to 8 pounds Alfalfa, 3 to 4 pounds 
Red Clover, and 6 to 10 pounds Brome Grass is recommend- 
ed for heavy soil, and 6 to 8 pounds Alfalfa and 6 pounds 
Bromus are enough for sandy soil. The use of nurse crops 
that ripen early is recommended.

CLOVERS 
For Hay, Soil Improvement, Rotation 
M AMMCTH RED Grown largely for pastures 
and to restore fertility to 
depleted soils. Makes good hay if cut soon enough although 
it has a coarser stem than Medium Red Clover. Supplies 
fine grazing for stock. Sometimes yields more seed than 
Medium Red Clover. It ripens later, and makes only one 
crop. 
MEDIU M RED Regarded as the most valuable of 
the Clover family. Sometimes 
called June Clover. It makes two crops the second year. 
The first is usually cut when it is in blossom for hay; the 
last crop may be harvested for seed, cut for hay, or plowed 
under to add fertility to the soil. May be sown either in the 
spring or fall, ard if no other grasses are used, at the rate 
of 12 to 15 pounds to the acre, according to quality and seed 
used and condition of the soil,
