Unequalled for hay, pasture and soil-building. 
Adapted to a wider area than any other known 
legume. Withstands droughts that would kill other crops. In- 
creases the grazing a eA § of pastures from twenty-five to fifty 
percent. Grows anywhere—on acid soils, waste lands, worn-out 
gravelly soils and galled hillsides where nothing else of value 
will grow. Reseeds itself every year, even when severely grazed, 
but is easily killed out by a cultivated crop. Does well in mix- 
tures in all Southern pasture grasses.
