KY. 31 FESCUE AND LADINO CLOVER DO WELL TOGETHER 
This field of Ky. 31 Fescue and Ladino Clover was formerly inhabited by thousands of crawfish and supported very little vegeta- 
tion of any kind. This field may be seen on Indian Trail Road, just East of Poplar Level Road. 
ALFALFA 
Considered the best of the leg- 
umes as a soil builder, for crop 
yield and in feeding value. It 
can be cut from three to five 
times a year and will average 
from four to five tons per acre. 
Alfalfa requires lime and re- 
sponds well to manure or a com- 
mercial fertilizer high in phos- 
phate. It makes a_ wonderful 
pasture for hogs, beef cattle and 
dairy cows. 
BUFFALO ALFALFA 
A new and improved strain of 
Kansas Common. It is more re- 
sistant to bacterial wilt than the 
Kansas strain and a heavier pro- 
ducer. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre 
or 2 to 5 lbs. in mixtures. March, 
April and August best months 
to sow. 
SWEET CLOVER 
One of the greatest plants for 
restoring and increasing soil 
: : fertility. Very good in pasture 
mixtures or can be used for 
Young ALFALFA root with hay, however, it is not equal to 
nodules produced by _ alfalfa or red clover as_ hay. 
NITRAGIN inoculation. Sweet Clover should be inocu- 
NITRAGIN bacteria within lated with Nitragin to insure the 
the nodules aid in produc- formation of root nodules, which 
ing higher protein hay, in- aid in taking nitrogen from the 
creased yields, and richer air. Sow during early Spring or 
soil. early Fall. 12-15 lbs. per acre. 
MAMMOTH, or SAPLING CLOVER 
The plant of this clover is at least one-third larger than 
the ordinary Red Clover. 
LADINO CLOVER 
Ladino is a large type White Dutch Clover growing to the 
height of 15 inches. It is excellent for grazing, very palatable, 
has large content of protein, minerals and vitamins. Ladino 
stands close grazing and recovers rapidly. 
It is usually sown with grasses and other legumes. It does 
well with Ky. 31 Fescue, orchard grass, brome grass, alfalfa, 
alsike and red clover. In mixtures, 4% to 1% lbs. are recom- 
mended, or sown alone, 2 or 3 lbs. to the acre is sufficient. 
Ladino responds well to phosphate fertilizers and to limestone, 
if ground is more than slightly acid. We recommend inocu- 
lating the seed with Nitragin to assure the growth of nitrogen 
fixing bacteria. 
KENTUCKY 31 FESCUE 
Ky. 31 Fescue has a definite place in Kentucky Agriculture. 
It is usually successful where Ky. Blue Grass and Orchard 
Grass do not thrive well. It makes good pasture on wet, 
poorly drained land, and does equally well on dry uplands 
and soil of low fertility. This does not eliminate the need 
for fertilizer or manure as it responds well to both. 
Ky. 31 Fescue comes close to being a year around pasture. 
It should be grazed or cut as it becomes coarse and tough 
with age, losing some of its palatability. 14 to 18 lbs. per 
acre gives a good stand. 
RED CLOVER 
Red Clover makes good nutritious pasture and hay. To 
obtain the best hay, it should be cut just past bloom stage. 
It is used extensively in crop rotation and is one of the best 
nitrogen gathering plants. 8 to 10 Ibs. per acre. March, April 
and August best months to sow. 
KENLAND RED CLOVER 
Superior new variety developed by Kentucky Agricultural 
Experiment Station. Usually longer lived than other strains 
and produces better when anthracnose is present. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
One of the hardiest of all clovers and succeeds well on a 
wide variety of soils. Specially adapted to moist or low land. 
Makes a very fine quality hay, and is one of the best clovers 
ae , erate If you have failed with the other clovers, try 
sike. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
An unusual clover usually sown in this latitude during 
months of July, August or September. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA 
Korean Lespedeza will usually make. As far as known 
never fails because of drought and comes to a thick stand 
each year until plowed. All stock relish Korean. It is one 
of the highest protein yielding plants, and puts on the weight. 
If cut for hay while in the blooming stage the remaining 
stubble will mature abundance of seed to assure a volunteer 
crop the next season. In this state (Kentucky) Korean sod 
land yields more corn than before Korean was used. The 
cost per acre is small. Sow 5 to 10 lbs. to the acre when 
sown with other seeds. 20 to 30 lbs. when by itself. Sow 
in the early spring.
