ALFALFA and CLOVERS 
STAFFEL’S ALFALFA does best through fall sowing but good results can be 
obtained with early spring planting. Care should be taken in preparing 
the land, applying plenty of lime. Inoculate seed before planting with 
NITRAGIN, especially if the land has had no previous alfalfa plantings. Dry 
and rather high ground is preferable for planting. Avoid sowing in wet soils. 
Plant 20 to 25 Ibs. per care. 
STAFFEL’S BURR CLOVER. California hulled seed of exceptionally good qual- 
ity, thoroughly recleaned. 
STAFFEL’S HUBAM CLOVER is a rapid growing annual Sweet Clover attaining 
a height of 7 feet. Flowers are rich in honey. An excellent cover crop when 
planted in February or March. Sow 12 to 15 Ibs. per acre. 
STAFFEL’S YELLOW SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus Indica). Sometimes called 
sour clover. Wonderful legume, especially adapted to plowing under for 
green manure. Grows all during winter when planted in fall. Builds up run- 
down soil and improves the yield of crops that will be planted on the land 
next spring. Plant 15 to 20 Ibs. per acre. 
STAFFEL’S SWEET CLOVER (Melilotus Alba) Scarified seed. Rapid growing 
clover with white blooms. Excellent for bee food. An ideal soil builder and 
does well on clay soils. Sow 15 bs. to the acre. 
STAFFEL’S CERTIFIED HEGARI 
ARIZONA GROWN. Produces large heads and matures earlier. Stands dry 
weather, the grain does not shatter and the crop is certain. Sow 8 to 10 
Ibs per acre in drills. 
STAFFEL’S COW PEAS 
These peas make one of the largest yielding and most nutritious forage 
crops grown. It’s not necessary to turn under the crop of vines to improve 
the soil. It’s really considered more economical and the best way to cut off 
the vines and cure them as a forage or hay crop, and then turn under the 
stubble and rootst. From 10,000 to 18,000 pounds of green fodder per acre 
have been produced. Can be sown broadcast in April, May, June or July at 
the rate of 1 to 14 bushels per acre or may be planted in drills, using 8 
to 12 Ibs. per acre. 
WHIPPOORWILL is ideal for fodder and for reclaiming old and wornout land. 
Two crops can easily be made in one season. Use ripened, ground peas for 
excellent cattle fattener. 
LARGE BLACK EYED PEAS are an ideal soil improver, being similar in 
growth of vime~and action of roots upon the soil to other cowpeas. Make a 
profitable crop for picking the dry peas for sale in our market during the 
winter. 
CREAM PEAS are undisputed queens of the table. None can surpass them for 
splendid flavor. 
BRABHAM COW PEAS are similar to Whippoorwill. Resistant to nematode. 
Few districts are free from this blight and while other crops nurse it and 
spread it to other territories, Barbham will discourage its development and 
may eradicate it from field entirely. Sow 40 Ibs. to the acre. 
BROWN CROWDER PEAS are a fine, large variety and are popular for table 
use throughout the South and Southwest.

them in even weight, fiye-bushel bags. Our demand for these oats is heavy.

STAFFEL’S WINTER BARLEY 
WINTER BEARDED BARLEY has splendid hog feeding qualities. In some sec- 
tions it is used almost entirely for horses and mules. Excellent winter graz- 
ing. Yields 50 to 75 bushels of grain per acre. Not damaged by hard 
freezes. Sow 2 to 3 bushels per acre. 
STAFFEL’S RED TOP CANE SEED (Certified) 
Leads all other varieties. Strictly a forage crop and possible to receive 
from 4 to 5 tons of forage under normal conditions.° The certified strain is 
uniform in growth, smut and disease free and far superior to the old type 
STAFFEL’S SOY (SOJA) BEANS 
Plant at the same time you plant corn. Prepare ground as you would for 
cow peas, sowing the seed in drills 3 to 4 feet apart, dropping two seeds 
every 6 inches . . . or sow by broadcasting. Do not plant seed over 114 
inches deep. Cut for hay when the pods are well formed, or, if wanted for 
seed, let the beans mature. Inoculate the seeds with Nitragin. 
LAREDO BEANS have slender, leafy branches and make an unexcelled, high 
quality hay. Mature in 120 days and yield 30 to 40 bushels of seed per 
acre. One bushel plants 6 to 8 acres in 3) foot rows. 
ATLAS SORGO 
Leoks like Hegari but different in many respects. Grown principally for ensil- 
age and will make two to three times the tonnage of red top or other ensilage 
crops. Grows 8 to 10 feet high with heavy foliage anl while the seed may 
be harvested, best results are obtained when the crop is used for ensilage 
and cut green. The stalk is sweet like cane and the seed has the feeding 
value of Hegari and maize. 
YELLOW MILO (Dwarf) 
Certified and disease resistant. Most successful yet introduced. Grows 3 
to 4 feet high and very uniform in growth. Stands hot dry weather excep- 
tionally well. Matures in about 104 days. Sow 8 to 10 Ibs. per acre in 
drills,

STAFFEL’S SEED POTATOES 
BLISS TRIUMPH are smooth, clean and free from prongs and scab— 
growing stronger and more vigorous, maturing in a shorter time and 
yielding much more than home-grown seed. This stock is genuine 
Minnesota grown and there is none better to be had at any price. 
IRISH COBBLER is one of the most reliable of the early varieties. It 
has a handsome, creamy white color and is of excellent quality, mak- 
ing it highly desirable to farmers who want and recognize only the 
best. It’s a vigorous grower, ripens uniformly and is a good keeper. 

STAFFEL’S MILLET 
BIG GERMAN. Large yield. On good land, with a favorable season, five tons 
to the acre not uncommon; makes lots of leaves. Should be cut green for 
best hay and when heads are in full bloom. Must be allowed to ripen if used 
for seed. Should not be sown before April, when ground gets warm. Sow 
three pecks to the acre. Sow 20 to 25 Ibs. to the acre, broadcast. 
STAFFEL’S GRAIN SORGHUMS 
AND RAPE .. . FOR FEED 
DWARF ESSEX RAPE has been grown mostly for sheep pasture but is equally 
valuable as forage crop for cattle, hogs and poultry. The young, tender leaves 
make luscious table greens and are preferred by many to mustard and other 
greens. Produces 10 to 25 ton of green forage per acre. Can be grown in 
the fall as it sta.ds our winters without damage. Sow in drills at rate of 
5 to 8 Ibs. per acre. 
DOUBLE DWARF YELLOW MILO MAIZE is Arizona grown, non-saccharine 
sorghum, very productive and makes an enormous amount of high-quality 
grain relished by all stock. Sow in rows 3 feet apart; five to ten pounds 
of seed per acre. 
RED TOP CANE is a sacharine sorghum. Seed is smaller than the amber or 
orange. Makes fine-quality fodder, in demand all over Texas. 
HONEY DRIP CANE is another saccharine sorghum with large stalk, some- 
times as large in diameter as Ribbon Cane and much taller. Yields as much 
as four to five hundred gallons of the very best syrup to the acre.
