ATTENTION FARMERS: Here is a Sure Guide to a Profitable Harvest — 
“How to Got. tho Most. Out. of Your Plantings.” 
Questions, Answers and Recommendations Based on Exhaustive Test and Experiments 
by State Agricultural Colleges and Our Own Personal Experience of More than 50 Years 
of its palatability, its slightly laxative effect, and the fact 
it will not injure stock no matter how much is eaten. We 
recommend when sowing Red Clover or Alsike to include 
10 lbs. of Timothy Seed per acre, so in the event the Clover 
_ kills out the Timothy will give fair return as it is almost 
a sure cropper. When seeding alone, use 12 lbs. per acre.

14—What About Alsike and Timothy Mixed? Answer—This 
is a good pasture or hay crop—really one of the best. Sow 
12 Ibs. of mixed seed per acre. Does best on low bottom, 
moist soils where other grasses fail, but will likewise give 
excellent results on good upland soil. It’s amazing the 
tonnage of hay that you can get from combination seed- 
ing of Timothy and Alsike. These are both Perennial 
crops. Come to maturity about the same time, making 
them especially suited as a combination hay or pasture 
crop. Once established lasts for years or until you wish 
to break up the meadow. 
‘15—What About Permanent Pasture Grass Mixture? Has This 
Given Satisfaction Throughout the Nation? Answer—It 
certainly has and we highly recommend it. For many 
years our customers from all sections of the country have 
come-to us annually for their supply of our especially pre- 
pared Permanent Pasture and Meadow Mixtures. Our 
Mixture contains proper proportions of the very Finest 
Quality of Medium and Mammoth Red Clover, Alsike, 
Sweet Clover, Alfalfa, Blue Grass, Creeping Fescue, Or- 
chard Grass, Red Top, Rye Grass, Timothy, Bromus, and 
Lespedeza Sericea. It is adapted to dry or moist lands. 
Sow in the spring 15 lbs. per acre. Do not pasture the 
first season. 
16—What About Annual Hog Pasture Mixture? What Do You 
Recommend? Answer—For many years we have been 
preparing annually and supplying to our customers all 
over the Corn Belt a special mixture that provides an 
abundant pasture within 6 weeks from the day it is sown, 
continuing green and bountiful until destroyed by frost. 
Almost all of the varieties in the mixture will come up 
again about as fast as they are eaten down and will fur- 
nish 4 to 5 times as much forage as can be obtained from 
any other clover-grass mixture that we know of. The 
food is succulent and nutritious and relished by hogs. 
They actually laugh and grow fat on it. It’s a most profit- 
able investment for every farmer. Usually sown right 
after Corn planting time but can be sown’as a catch crop 
anytime up until August. Mixture contains proper pro- 
portions of Canadian Peas, Soy Beans, Vetches, Crimson 
Clover, Dwarf Essex Rape, Sugar-Cane, Millet, Turnips, 
' Rutabagas, Barley and Oats. Sow 50 lbs. per acre broad- 
cast or use a grain drill. 
17—What About Alfalfa for a Money Maker? - Answer—It 
still tops the list and gives universal satisfaction through- 
out the nation. Averages 2 to 3 cuttings a year and when 
produced under irrigation, 4 to 5 cuttings. It is drought- 
resistant. May be seeded in the spring or early fall at 
the rate of 18 to 20 lbs. of seed per acre. May be seeded 
alone or with one bushel of Barley per acre as a nurse 
crop. We recommend adding 5 lbs. of Timothy Seed per 
acre which will improve the hay greatly and assure you 
a full stand on any small patches where the Alfalfa might 
fail to come up. The Michigan College recommends 
adding 5 lbs. of Brome Grass and Timothy per acre with 
Alfalfa Seed. We have found this most satisfactory and 
recommend it to you. Sow on sweet land, not sour, and 
te for best results the land should be limed. 
-418—What About Sweet Clover and Which Is the Best, Yellow 
or White Blossom or Hubam? Answer—lIt is a matter of 
opinion. The Yellow grows a little shorter and has finer 
texture of hay while the White grows taller and coarser. 
It is a profitable crop for hay pasture or for fertilizer. It’s 
a sure builder for depleted soils. Recommend sowing it 
with Oats or other small grain, and when the grain is 
cut you have an excellent pasture way up until late fall. 
It produces the first green feed in the'spring and the last 
green feed in the fall. The plant gathers abundance of 
Nitragin from the air, transmitting it through its roots 
and branches into the soil, leaving great quantities of 
organic matter estimated as high as 20 tons per acre, 
leaving the soil in perfect condition to follow with an 
Alfalfa crop. Most of our farmer friends sow 15 lbs. per 
acre with all their Oat and small grain crops and find it 
very profitable. Hubam Sweet Clover is an annual va- 
riety. Seeded in the spring will attain a growth of 4 to 5 
feet in September in this section of the country, and if 
Seeded with Oats or other small grains makes excellent 
growth, ready for pasture aS soon as you cut your small 
grain. Being an Annual, it only lives one season. Sow 
15 lbs. of seed per acre. 
19—How About Medium Red Ciover? - Can It Be Pastured the 
First Season? Answer—No. If you do, the stock will eat 
it down so close it will probably winter kill, therefore, re- 
serve pasturing until the second spring. In feeding value 
the hay ranks next to Alfalfa. As a soil builder and for 
crop rotation it stands at the top of the list. Should be 
grown on every farm where soil and climatic conditions 
permit. Really regarded as the cornerstone of a perma- 
nent system of Agriculture. As a hay crop it is second 
_ only to Alfalfa. Being a Biennial, will last two seasons 
under good conditions. Sow in the early spring—12 lbs. 
of seed per acre. We recommend adding 10 ibs. of Tim- 
othy along with the Clover to insure a hay crop in the 
event that the Clover failed to give you a good stand. 
20—What Is the Difference Between Mammoth Red and Me- 
dium Red Clover? Answer—It must be treated the same 
as Medium Red. It is very similar to Medium Red in seed 
and blossoms but makes a larger, coarser growth and 
more extensive root system. Matures a little later and is 
at the best stage for cutting the same time as Timothy. 
Its coarseness makes it less valuable as a market hay, but 
for plowing under as a fertilizer crop it is really superior 
to the Medium Red. Sow in the early spring with small 
grain 12 lbs. of seed per acre. 
21—What About Alsike Clover? - Answer—It is smaller in 
growth than Red Clover and the blossoms are smaller, 
pinkish-white instead of red. Seed is much smaller so less 
seed is required per acre. It is used in rotation scheme 
like Red Clover and more frequently grown in Mixture 
with Timothy. It is a Biennial producing its first crop 
the second season and under favorable conditions many 
times lasts 3 or 4 years. Alsike thrives on somewhat poor 
soil, does not require lime and will preduce well in darnp 
spots and can be grown almost universally. Alsike Hay 
is equal to Red Clover in feeding value and somewhat 
finer in texture. Tonnage per acre a little less than Red 
Clover. Sow in the early spring 8 to 10 lbs. of seed per 
Acre: 
22_-_What About Crimson Clover? Answer—This is an Annual 
variety and will not live over the winter North of the 
Ohio River. South of the Ohio River it is a wonderful An- 
nual Clover and really leads them all for hay for pasture 
and for fertilizer crop. If seeded in the North so in April 
and under normal conditions should be ready to cut and 
pasture the middle or latter part of July. We recommend 
an acre or two for every Northern farmer as a hog pas-~
