and Hay Mixtures 
A pasture in Edgecombe Co., N. C., seeded with Wood’s Permanent Pasture Mixture 25 years ago, is as productive as ever 
More Economicai, Productive, Nutritious and Palatable Than Ladino with Orchard Grass or Tall Fescue. 
Experiment station tests show yields of pasture and hay 
increase aS more seed per acre is sown, up to 25 lbs., and as 
more different compatable clovers and grasses are added. 
Mixtures of many grasses and clovers, including Ladino, 
Orchard, Alfalfa and Red Clover yielded about a third more 
than one clover and one grass. Ladino with Ky. 31 yielded 
5,435 lbs. dry weight in 1950 but only 1,561 Ibs. in 1951, as 
the Ladino winterkilled, leaving no legume to furnish nitro- 
gen to the grass. The quality and feeding value was also 
cut. They concluded: “Using more than one legume in a 
mixture is a good insurance investment because species differ 
in adaptability to soil, climate and biological growth factors.” 
Our mixtures, proved superior for 3 generations, contain 7 
legumes and 9 grasses, with Ladino Clover and Orchard 
Grass as a base. Disease Resistant Red Clover, Alfalfa, Alsike, 
Dixie White, Bur and Reseeding Crimson Clovers, Paspalum, 
Kentucky Blue, Red Top, Ky. 31 or Alta and Meadow Fescue, 
Timothy, Perennial and Domestic Rye Grass. They grow off 
faster and flourish in dry summers, crowding out weeds that 
retard Ladino, Orchard or Tall Fescue sown alone. They hear 
abundantly many years, minimizing the seeding cost. Thsy 
are well balanced, high in protein, extremely nutritious and 
palatable. Animals eat more and grow faster cr produce 
more milk, saving feed bills. 
KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA ALFALFA 
U.S. Verified Origin. Premium Quality. For years Kansas 
and Oklahoma Approved have been recommended by the 
U.S.D.A. and state experiment stations in the Southeast, 
where they have made top yields, been more resistant to 
diseases; stands have persisted longer than with seed from 
other sections, and been sufficiently winter hardy, as Kan. 
and Okla. have climates similar to the Southeast. They have 
found no difference between the two as Okla. Approved is from 
Northern and Central Okla., separated only by the state line 
from the section where Kansas seed is grown, and both strains 
have a common origin. Ohio, Indiana and Illinois tests for 
several years proved they were identical in winter-hardiness, 
yield and growth. We have sold Okla. Approved seed from 
this section many years. It has produced equally as well as 
Kansas. We do not sell cheap common Oklahoma seed. 
ALFALFA CULTURE. Alfalfa lasts for years, improves 
soils and produces the greatest yields of hay, pasture and 
silage, higher in protein, minerals and feed value, essential 
to the growth and productiveness of all livestock, than most 
other plants. Pasture yields are increased up to 3 times by 
adding alfalfa. At V.P.I. the first cuttings of Ladino, Orchard 
Grass was 657 lbs. of good forage and 3875 Ibs. of weeds. 
When alfalfa was added good forage was 1,825 Ibs. and 
weeds 35 Ibs. The minerals and plant food for this growth 
come from the soii and must be put there. Alfalfa uses twice 
as much phosphorus and calcium and 3 times as much potash 
as Lespedeza. Put alfalfa on deep well drained soils. Use 
1,000 Ibs. of borated 2-12-12 at seeding and 800 Ibs. borated 
0-14-14 each spring. Inoculate and sow in Aug. or Sept. on 
a firm seedbed; cover 4 inch; cultipack or drag: 25 Ibs. per 
acre or 20 Ibs. with 5 Ibs. orchard grass for hay. Add 5 Ibs. 
to every pasture mixture. : 
Sow 25 Ibs. Acre 
Price f.0.b. $39.00 per 100-Ib. bag; 25 to 99 Ibs. 41c. per Ib. 
PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURES 1 to 3 
Contain grasses and clovers which make their maximum 
growth at different times throughout the year for abundant 
nutritious year-round grazing. They cannot cause bloating. 
Thousands of prize cattle have died bloating when one grass 
wes planted and disappeared, leaving only Ladino to graze. 
No. 1. For light gravelly or sandy soil 
No. 2. For good loam soil 
No. 3. For moist bottom land 
WOOD’S PERMANENT HAY MIXTURES 6 to 8 
Contain grasses and clovers which mature at the same 
time, making bumper hay crops, which are easily cured. 
They recover quickly, giving scveral big cuttings of the 
finest hay every year. 
No. 6. For light gravelly or sandy soil 
No. 7. For good loam o% clay soil 
No. 8. For moist bottom land 
WOOD’S SOUTHERN PERMANENT PASTURE and HAY 
MIXTURE No. 12 produces tremendous yields of, the finest 
pasture and hay on both light and heavy soils in the South- 
ern Coastal Area from Aeeginia. te; the. Gulf. 
LADINO CLOVER—California Grown 
The most nutritious, palatable and productive..year round 
pasture legume. Its peak growth is.in early: spring’ and fall 
when native grasses are short. It is so ricH it m&y cause 
bloating unless grasses are grown with it. Sow 1 to 2 Ibs. 
Ladine with 10 lbs. of orchard grass or tail fescue, in early 
fall. Add 2 Ibs. of Red Clover and 5 Ibs. of Alfalfa for more 
summer pasture. Wood’s Permanent Pasture and Hay Mix- 
tures contain all these with additional grasses and clovers for 
maximum year ’round production and highest feed value, but 
so susceptible to bloating. 
CRIMSON CLOVER 
The best winter legume for soil 
improvement, hay and pasture, 
nutritious, high in protein, rel- 
ished by all livestock. It con- 
serves soil fertility. Turned un- 
der it adds valuable nitrogen and 
humus, holds moisture during 
droughts, and improves follow- 
ing crops tremendously. We 
handle only the brightest, high- 
est quality seed, purer, freer of 
weed, with stronger germina- 
tion, producing better stands and 
more vigorous crops. Our im- 
ported and Tenn. seed both meet 
P.M.A. requirements. Inoculate 
and sow 25 pounds per acre, 
August to October. It may 
cause bloat if grazed alone. It is in Wood’s Grain Pasture 
Mixture. higkly. nutritious, balanced diet that cannot 
cause bloat and is better for winter grazing as small grains 
make more growth in cold weather.
