Oats and Vetch as Cover Crop 
Alfalfa 
The Farmer’s Hay Insurance 
Sow 15 to 25 lbs. per acre. 
As a soil builder the Experiment Stations tell us that it adds 
twice as much nitrogen to the soil as the average acre of Red 
Clover. 
GRIMM. Only a few strains of Alfalfa equal, and none excel 
true Grimm Alfalfa in hardiness. It is the safest type to sow 
wherever there is trouble from winter-killing. No seeds avail- 
able. 
COMMON ALFALFA. This strain has given very satisfactory 
results in New England. 
Lb., 55c; 10 1bs. or more, 48c per Ib.

Certified Seed Oats 
VICTORY. A tall growing white-kerneled variety 
which is recommended as a heavy yielder. The

developed at the Svalof Station in Sweden and out- 
yields the Swedish Select type. It should not be 
confused with that variety. Pk., 60c; bu., $2.20. 
Vicland Oats 
The Vicland is a selection from a cross of the 
parents Victoria (South American) and Richland 
(lowa) varieties and introduced in 1941 as an out- 
standing grain variety. The straw of the Vicland 
is about 36 inches in height and the grain matures 
early. It is rust resistant and Wisconsin yields show os. | 
80 or more bushels per acre. We recommend this — 
variety for grain. Pk., 65c; bu., $2.25.
