Mowing Alfalfa 
ALFALFA PRODUCES MORE FEED THAN 
ANY OTHER CROP 
The yield should be more than three tons per acre where 
there is abundant rainfall and a long growing season. 
Alfalfa and corn fed together make a good ration for al] 
live stock—Alfalfa belongs on every farm—for hog pasture, 
hay for the dairy herd, family cow or chickens. For sheep 
and beef cattle, no other roughage is equal to alfalfa hay. 
When comparing alfalfa with other crops, remember one 
sowing of alfalfa may last five years. 
Alfalfa should be sown in the spring as soon as there is no 
danger of freezing weather or early enough in the fall to 
permit the plants to become well established before winter 
sets in. Sow 20 to 30 pounds per acre. Except under very 
favorable conditions, alfalfa should be sown without a nurse 
crop. 
Alfalfa should be cut for hay when the plants are well in 
bloom.

1050—KANSAS ALFALFA—Seed grown in Kansas has been 
for many years very popular and planted freely over the en- 
tire South. Kansas pioneered in alfalfa production and seed 
from this area, having withstood the extremely rigorous cli- 
mate of this state, is certainly well adapted to planting in 
the Central South. Kansas grown seed yields an abundance 
of forage and if properly cared for will produce profitably 
for a number of years. :

1068—OKLAHOMA ALFALFA—As compared to many other 
alfalfa seed producing sections Oklahoma is probably the 
most recently developed. Since this is the case these fields 
are practically disease free and there is an absence of weeds 
injurious to alfalfa production found in areas that have been 
planted in alfalfa for many years. The State of Oklahoma 
has a very varying climate—extreme cold in winter and in- 
tense heat in summer. Heavy rainfall is not uncommon and 
extreme drouth is experienced almost annually. Because the 
plants are subjected to such weather adversities they are ex- 
tremely hardy. For these reasons Oklahoma seed has proven 
perfectly adapted to this area, and since it affords three to 
five abundant cuttings a year it is rapidly replacing seed 
from other sources. 
Postpaid—-1 Ib., 80c; 5 Ibs., $3.50 
1052—ARGENTINE—About ten years ago Alfalfa seed im- 
ported from Argentine were first planted in the South. It 
has proven entirely adapted to the South, producing heavy 
yields consistently and withstanding the adversities of our 
Southern climate unusually well. Many large planters have 
reported even heavier yields from their Argentine plantings 
than from any other types of Alfalfa. It grows rapidly af- 
fording 2 to 4 cuttings per year and resists being crowded 
out by grass and weeds as well as native grown seed. Ten 
es cent of these seed are stained red to comply with Federal 
aw.
