Fall Seedings of CLOVER 
We have noted a surprising increase in the amount of clover 
seeds that are sown in the fall. This is particularly noticeable in 
states to the east of us, Indiana and Ohio, and the tendency seems 
_ to be working this way. We would like to suggest to our cus- 
tomers that they at least make some experimental seedings in the 
fall this year. Seedings that become established this fall would 
give a maximum production next year. If experience teaches you 
that this was successful under your conditions, you can then 
‘make clover seedings in the fall if spring seedings fail. With 
favorable moisture conditions it may be even easier to get a stand 
in the fall than the spring because you do not have the competing 
-erop like oats with it. 


| BIG SAVINGS POSSIBLE NOW. 
=) Supplies may be short next year. 
In quite a number of sections there was a lot of winter killing of 
clover last year. This was especially true in the northern half or two- 
thirds of Iowa, and in many similar sections. Those fields of course 
will not be producing any clover seed this year. It is too early to tell 
at this writing just what the remaining fields will produce. It is_ 
largely of course, a matter of weather conditions. We would not be 
surprised to see clover selling at very high prices again next spring. 
The prices that we have on clovers as set forth on page 4 permits you 
to buy clovers at-a very attractive price right now. Whether you sow 
in the fall or spring, we recommend that you buy now. 








CLOVER 
This is what is known as June Clover in some areas. It is the most 
widely used of the Red clovers. The crop is a biennial, that is, it lives over 
one winter. This clover makes two crops the second year of its growth. 
One can be cut for hay and the second for seed, or both can be cut for hay, 
or one can be cut for hay and then a big crop plowed under. The bigger 
green growth you plow under, the more it helps your soil. We have this 
available in different grades as priced on page 4 of this Circular. If you 
have our spring catalog at hand you can find more detailed information re- 
_ garding this clover there. Our prices right now are very drastically reduced 
and in our opinion, they will be much higher next spring. 
MAMMOTH RED CLOVER 
This is a larger growing clover than Medium Red, but. it only makes 
one main crop instead of two. This one crop is generally larger than either 
crop that you can cut off the Medium. It is widely grown where the season 
is too short for Red Clover to make two crops or where very large first 
crops are desired, and the second growth for pasture. On Mammoth Red 
Clover too, our prices are very low for buyers at this time. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
Alsike is a very popular clover. It is economical to sow. The seed is 
small, a little goes a long way. It makes a smoo: stemmed clover. The hay 
is less dusty than Red Clover hay. You can u# it as pasture and hay com- 
bination. A bushel will sow 10 to 12 acres. Alsike clover seed producing 
sections are much more limited than Red Clover and prices are subject to 
larger variations. 
At present prices, it is very economical to sow Alsike Clover. It is 
about the cheapest of all clovers to sow. 
We also show Ladino Clover on page 4. A Wonderful Clover for pasture. 
Greater Yields—Extra Profits 
—_—« thru CHEMICALS 
Weeds, insects and disease all tend to keep down the maximum yields 
that we get from our cash crops. Most of these can now be well controlled 
by new chemicals that have come on the market. We offer you those new 
chemicals at their best under this special trade names listed. We cannot 
give you full information in this limited space but we are giving you brief 
descriptions and prices. Write us for information on any of your problems 
as to controlling weeds, insects or disease. 
KILL WEEI 
The principal weed killers are 2,4D. This comes in two 
principal forms, the Amine salts, which are the safest to 
use, because they are least harmful to crops. The Esters, 
which kill quicker, but also are more dangerous to use, 
because they can injure crops if used in excess. In buying 
chemicals like this, you must depend upon the amount of 
acid you buy, not the number of gallons of material. It is 
the acid that does the killing. 
Amine Salts. A quart contains a pound 
TU FOR-40 of technical acid; a gallon 4 pounds. 
1 gal. $7.95 a gal.; 5 gals. $7.70 a gal.; 30 gals. $7.40 per gal. 
and 55 gals. $7.30 per gal. 
Tu FOR This is the 2,4-D in the Ester form. It costs 
se more per gallon but goes about twice as 
far. As stated above, it should be used with caution where you 
have cash crops with it. It is the best of all for hard to kill weeds 
or plants. 
Prepaid Price: $7.95 a gal.; 5 gals. $7.70 a gal.; 
30 gals. $7.40 per gal., and 55 gals. $7.30 per gal. 
KILL INSECTS—— 
There are many insects, worms, flies, mosquitoes, lice, beetles, 
grasshoppers, etc., that can be killed by application of various 
chemicals. These can be applied as sprays or dust. The most 
popular DDT is Syndeet 50W, which is a 50% wettable powder. 
1 Ib. can 75c; 5 Ib. drum $3.25; 100 Ib. drum $40.00. 































d 30 ; : 
Syn eet is an improved insecticide which makes DDT 
more effective. Comes in a liquid. 
5 gal. can $17.10 per can of 5 gals.; 30 gal. drum $98.65. 
Syndeet $30 is the same thing in an oil solution. 
$13.50 for a 5 gal. can; $76.75 for a 30 gal. drum. 
Synklor 50W. ‘nis is different from DDT: It is chlor 
dane. 50% of wettable chlordane, which many consider superior 
to DDT. Best for grasshoppers. 2 Ibs. per acre. 
lb. can $2.75; 5 Ib. drum $1.70 per Ib.; 10 tb. drum $1.65 per | 
Synklor 48E. this is also chlordane but in an emulsion 
form. Also fine for grasshoppers. Use 1 to 2 pints per acre. 
One quart bottle $5.00 per bottle; 1 gal. can $13.80 per gal. 
5 gal. drum $12.60 per gal.; 30 gal. drum $12.25 per gal.
