FARM and FIELD SEEDS 
ALFALFA. 60 pounds a bushel, sow 20 pounds per acre. Is a 
perennial legume and will produce more choice feed per acre 
than any other crop. 
GRIMM ALFALFA. 60 pounds a bushel, sow 20 to 25 pounds 
per acre, differing in type, having the lateral or branching root 
system in place of the usual main tap root of most alfalfas. 
ALYCE CLOVER. Produces twice as much hay and pasture 
as Lespedeza and is finer quality and higher feeding value. It 
is an annual legume and reseeds itself; is very drought resist- 
ant and will improve poor soils. Sow 15 or 20 lbs. per acre 
alone or may be used in permanent pasture mixtures. 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER. 60 pounds a bushel, sow 8 to 12 
pounds per acre. One of the most valuable legumes of the 
clover family. Cut for hay or plow under for soil fertility. 
MAMMOTH or SAPLING CLOVER. 60 pounds a bushel, sow 
8 to 12 pounds per acre. Resembles the Medium Red but grows 
coarser and more vigorous.

pounds per acre. Very hardy, used extensively for permanent 
pasture and lawns.

is recommended in pasture mixtures, combining well with other 
crops. Height of plant about 6 to 8 inches. Use 2 to 3 pounds 
per acre in pasture mixtures. 
HUBAM CLOVER. 60 pounds a bushel, sow 20 to 25 pounds

REDUCE FEEDING COSTS 
Pastures are the cheapest feed. Are you making the 
most of your pasture land? Plan to have a year around 
pasture, its value cannot be over estimated. 
Orchard Grass, Red Top and Ladino Clover as a combi- 
nation has been grown with very good results. Alsike 
Clover may be added if desired. 
Other crops recommended are: Alyce Clover, Blue Grass, 
Red Clover, Korean Lespedeza, Kentucky 31 Fescue, Alta 
Fescue, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Reed Canary Grass, Timothy, 
Sweet Clover, White Dutch Clover and Rye Grass. 
A well-prepared seed bed pays as well as the addition 
of the necessary minerals. 
Fall grains such as Balboa Rye, Winter Barley and Win- 
ter Oats may be sown along with most of these crops in 
late August or September, which will produce pasture dur- 
ing the fall and winter and act as a cover crop also. 
sow 6 to 12 pounds per acre.
