“Your soil fertility is a bank account—you cannot check against it after the original deposit is exhausted 
unless you put some more in.’—Cyril G. Hopkins. 
Lespedeza should always be inoculated when grown for the first time on a field as it is a nitrogen gathering 
legume. Being an annual, Korean roots die each fall and deposit humus and nitrogen in the soil for use by 
following crops. 
Lespedeza, like all other legumes, flourishes best when lime and phosphorous are abundant in the soil; but 
unlike Alfalfa, Sweet Clover and Red Clover, Lespedeza will make a very satisfactory growth on land need- 
ing three or four tons of lime per acre. 
Lespedeza may be seeded at rates of 20 to 50 pounds per acre, depending on results expected the first year. 
In mixtures Lespedeza may be added at from 5 to 15 pounds to assure thorough reseeding. 
Date of sowing — January to May inclusive, depending on locality. Best results come from early sowing 
of well inoculated seed in small grain on land of medium fertility. 
FRAZIERS are now printing the fourth edition of “Lespedeza Al’s” booklet called “START RIGHT WITH
