LESPEDEZA, Korean is an annual legume, and under favor- 
able conditions will reseed itself. It is best adapted to thin 
or acid soil. 15 to 25 pounds usually sown per acre from 
February to April 15th. Sericea is a perennial Lespedeza. 
Scarified seed can be Sown at the rate of 10 to 12 pounds per 
acre in spring after danger of frost and as late as April 15th. 
RED CLOVER (Trifolium pratense). Too well known to need 
extended description. Best sown in the spring, and requires 
10 to 12 lbs. per acre alone or 5 to 6 lbs. per acre if in mix- 
ture with grasses. 
MAMMOTH OR SAPLING CLOVER. Similar to Red Clover 
but of larger growth and blooms three weeks later; hence, 
more valuable for sowing with Timothy. It also forms 
better aftermath than Red Clover. Requires same quantity 
of seed as Red Clover per acre. 
ALSIKE CLOVER (Trifolium hybridum) One of the best 
Clovers for sowing with Timothy, as they mature at the 
same time. Blossoms flesh color. It is very hardy and will 
do well on thin or poorly drained soils, making very satisfac- 
tory paSturage. It iS aso valuable for hay. If sown alone 
requires 5 to 8 lbs. per acre or in mixture 2 to 4 lbs. per acre. 
CRIMSON CLOVER (Trifolium incarnatum). An annual for 
turning under as a green manure crop or as a winter cover 
crop sown in July or August, also early spring at rate of 
15 to 20 lbs. per acre. It should be cut just before bloom 
stage for hay. 
LADINO CLOVER. A mammoth perennial type of White Clover 
spreading by vigorous horizontal stems. Plant reaches 12 
to 15 inches in height under favorable conditions. Valuable 
for pasture for all livestock, and is widely used for enriching 
a mixture of other grasses. Sow 1 to 2 lbs. alone or % to 1 
lb. per acre in mixtures. 
WILD WHITE CLOVER. Long used in England in permanent 
pastures. More leaf and less blossoms than ordinary White 
Dutch Clover. Very hardy and highly recommended in pas- 
ture mixtures. Sow 1 to 2 lbs. per acre in mixtures. 
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL. A low growing perennial legume for 
pastures. Starts slowly but has long season. Inoculated, it 
thrives on ground too poor for Alfalfa or Clover. It takes 
several years to establish. 
SMOOTH BROME GRASS. A tall perennial, does well on loose, 
dry soil. Used with Alfalfa to produce hay and pasture 
during hot, dry seasons. Sow 15 to 20 lbs. per acre. 
REED CANARY GRASS. An excellent hay crop for moist or 
* swampy land. Sow 6 to 8 lbs. per acre with 2 lbs. Alsike to 
insure uniform stand. 
SWEET CLOVER. Valuable for use on poorer soils both as a 
crop and for improving the soil. © 
Tall Growing Type. Planted in the spring makes good 
growth by fall and lasts 2 years. Will reseed itself if left 
standing. Excellent for turning under for green manure. 
Yellow Blossom Type. Is also biennial. Grows 2 to 3 feet 
the first year, 4 to 5 feet the second. Finer stems, better 
for hay and pasture. 
Sow 10 to 12 lbs. per acre Hulled and Scarified Seed in fall 
or spring after frost danger. Sow 20 lbs. per acre Unhulled 
Boek quriue the winter months or in the fall with Winter 
eat.

ALFALFA. Every farm should have at least some Alfalfa. Its 
feeding value is unexcelled. Alfalfa grows best on good land, 
well limed and containing available plant foods, particularly 
phosphoric acid. Inoculation of seeds is always good insur- 
ance. Sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre alone or 2 to 5 pounds in 
mixtures. The two most important groups are Common and 
Variegated. The Common or ordinary purple flowered, smooth 
type are best known by seed from such states as Oklahoma, 
Kansas, Nebraska, etc., and generally is known to produce 
highest yields of hay. The Variegated bloom is purple, yel- 
low and brown. Two new varieties: Ranger and Buffalo, both 
adapted to central and northern United States, have been 
developed for their resistance to a bacterial wilt which has 
been taking heavy tolls in recent years in second and third 
year Stands and older.
