SPRINGFIELD SEED COMPANY, SPRINGFIELD, MO. 31 
The future of agriculture, as well as the welfare of our country, depends upon the maintenance 
of and the building of our soils. Plan to keep some grasses and legumes growing on your farm 
at all times. Legumes grown with grasses increase the growth of the grasses because of the extra 
nitrogen obtained through the legumes. Have your soil tested for the lacking minerals necessary 
for the best growth of your crops. 
FESCUE, KENTUCKY 31. Known as a year round pas- 
ture grass. Has a more spreading habit of growth than 
Orchard Grass and is a deep-rooted, perennial bunch grass. 
As the bunches increase in size it will eventually make a 
close, tight sod which makes it a soil-conserving crop, 
also prevents erosion and is best suited for a permanent 
pasture grass. Recommended for lawns, also, as it stays 
green when Blue Grass is dormant. Seed 15 to 20 pounds 
per acre alone or 10 pounds when seeding with a legume. 
KOREAN LESPEDEZA. The finest of legumes for re- 
claiming worn out soil. A good drought resistant; it has 
won the distinction of being the best Summer Legume 
pasture which so far has been introduced in this country. 
It will stand heavy grazing from early summer until killed 
by frost. It is ideal in permanent pasture mixtures with 
Blue Grass, Orchard Grass or Red Top, Alsike and White 
Clover, and matures before smothering out of the fall 
grasses. Makes an excellent hay, comparing favorably 
with Alfalfa in feeding value. No preparation of the seed- 
bed is necessary; it is adapted to any soil, and is at its 
best when other grasses and clovers are dormant. Sow 
20 to 25 pounds per acre alone, or 10 pounds per acre in 
pasture mixtures. Although an annual it reseeds itself 
where seed is allowed to mature. 
CRIMSON CLOVER. Sow 15 pounds per acre. Makes 
an excellent green grazing crop during the winter and 
early spring. Very practical to sow with the fall seeding 
grains and is a splendid soil improving crop. 
SUDAN GRASS. A quick growing summer hay grass, often 
yielding two or three cuttings a season. The entire plant 
is eaten by stock and well liked. More and finer hay is se- 
cured when the seed is sown broadcast and often produces 
four tons or more to the acre. As an emergency pasture 
crop Sudan Grass has few equals. Also used as an ensilage 
and has about an equal value to corn silage. It is a very 
good drought resistant. Should be sown about two weeks 
after corn planting time, but can be sown up to the first 
week in July. 
ATLAS SORGO. Produces more grain and forage than any 
other sorghum. Many crops produce 10 to 20 tons per 
acre. The most popular of the grain sorghums. It is an 
enormous yielder of both forage and grain. The stalk and 
branches are both sweet and the grain is the most palata- 
ble of all the sorghums. It is the most valuable grain 
sorghum to grow because of its drought resisting qualities.
