HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR MARCH, 

Here It Is! 
Here is a picture of 10 mos. old Carol 
Ernestine Sawatzky, sent in by her 
mother, Mrs. Ernest G. Sawatzky, Rt. 1, 
Clinton, Oklahoma. Carol’s mother says, 
“Her birthday is December 24th and she 
would like to see her picture in our next 
issue of Seed Sense.” 
Hope she enjoys seeing her pice as 
much as I know all the rest of you will.

New Midland Grain Sorghum 
We introduced this new Midland last 
year under No..617, as it was so new at 
that time that it didn’t even have a name. 
An improved selection of Karly Kalo, pro- 
duces a much heavier yield of good sound 
grain with stiffer stalks—more disease re- 
sistant. Compact seed heads mature 
early, stand up well after ripening in the 
field, in case of delayed harvest, and are 
resistant to Chinch Bugs. 

Large as Hen Eggs

braska, holding bunches of scarlet globe 
radishes. They write, ‘Some were as 
Jarge as hen eggs and nice and sweet. 
We belong to the “Hoe Hitler Under’ 
Garden Club which recently changed 
their name to “Hold Hitler Under.”” We 
all enjoy Seed Sense very much. Last 
year we fixed an exhibit at County and 
State Fair. Won a Blue Ribbon at State 
and 2nd at County which was $40.00 
cash, and first at County this year and 
had $60.00 cash.” y 

Alfalfa Stretcher 
Mighty glad to see the way you people 
are taking hold of that ALFALFA 
SWEHT CLOVER MIXTURE. Can’t beat 
it for value and quality, yet it does the 
job and saves money at the same time. It 


is the ideal mixture to sow along with 
Brome Grass. If you’ll check it with reg- 
ular prices you can easily see the savings. 
If you bought good unmixed seed and 
mixed it yourself, it would cost you at 
least $21.00 per bushel. 
natural mixture the price is only $16:50 
per bushel.and you can save the differ- 
ence. The mixture contains 50% Hardy 
Northern Grimm Alfalfa along with 50% 
Sweet Clover. Will add lots of nitrogen 
to the soil and stands close pasturing. 
All new crop seed. Perfect to sow with 
Brome at the rate of 5 to 6 lbs. per acre 
and 12 to_15 lbs. of Brome. 
New Sweet Sudan 
Here is the NEW SWEET SUDAN we 
introduced last year that gave such won- 
derful results that we are being flooded 
with orders this spring. 
the sweet, juicy, palatable forage seed for 
all kinds of live stock. It is far superior 
to the common Sudan type, and greater 
disease resistance and non shattering seed 
qualities, making it easier to harvest. 
Heavy plant growth means higher yields 
per acre. Plant 20 pounds per acre when 
the soil is warm, after corn planting time. 
But don’t wait until then to order seed as 
we will be sold out. DOIT RIGHT NOW. 
Early Giant Korean Lespedeza 
Hulled and scarified Early Giant Les-. 
pedeza is certainly going to town this 
year. This is a crop to plant for a lot of 
fine stemmed, leafy, high protein pasture, 
during the hot summer months, when you. 
need it the most. Makes a perfect com- 
panion crop with other pasture grasses 
,such as Blue Grass, Red Top, Timothy, 
ete. It is not hard to get started if seeded 
early. There is no special seed bed prepa- 
ration. Liked by all because of the extra 
growth that it gives you over” ‘regular 
Korean Lespedeza. 
Plant Hay and Pactera Mix - 
- Every wise farmer knows that a bal- 
anced mixture is the best seeding. That’s 
why we can always recommend Henry’s 
Famous 50-50 Permanent. Hay & Pasture 
Mixture, that contains 50.% legumes to 
build up the soil and 50% grasses to, 
establish the sod. Not all grasses are 
adapted to every type of soil on your 
farm. . No two farms are ever alike, "so 
naturally some seeds will do better on 
one farm than on another. 
That is why this mixture worked out 
by Henry through years of experience is 
balanced so perfectly that it will give you 
good growth on any type of soil. It’s a 
foolproof mixture and has been improved 
on so much that it simply can’t be im- 
proved on any more. We eall it the All- 
Around “Year mix and it will eventually 
go to blue grass. It’s available in both 
the 50-50A that contains sweet clover; or 
if you prefer a pasture without sweet 
clover, we have it available in Henry’s 
50-50B Permanent Hay & Pasture Mix- 
ture.
