‘“‘BUFFALO” ALFALFA (Certified) 
A strain highly resistant to bacterial wilt, one of America’s most 
serious alfalfa diseases. Bred to survive and yield well in spite 
of this enemy. Originated in Kansas. Shows more rapid recovery 
after cutting than ordinary strains, larger fall growth, and a higher 
stand of survival. “Buffalo” is recommended throughout most of 
this Eastern area. It may prove ideal for your conditions. Has 
already won many friendly users. 
‘““RANGER”’ ALFALFA (Certified) 
A multiple-strain development from selections of Cossack, Turke- 
stan and Ladak varieties. Started in Nebraska. About equal, not 
greatly superior, to “Grimm” in winter hardiness and in ability 
to recover after cutting. Its outstanding trait is its resistance to 
attacks of bacterial wilt. Preferred on some New York State and 
other Northern farms. Gaining use in many upper and upland 
areas of Pennsylvania. 
““ATLANTIC”? ALFALFA (Certified) 
Vigorous, high-yielding variety. Developed at New Jersey Agri- 
cultural Experiment Station. Similar to Baltic or Hardigan in 
many traits. Might be considered one of the variegated types. 
Has shown outstanding performance where short rotations were 
used and where wilt was not a serious factor. 
‘““SCANADIAN VARIEGATED” ALFALFA 
Long-time favorite on many Eastern and Northern farms. Heavy 
cropping, hardy, long lived. In good supply this year.

Northeastern farms than perhaps any other. Popular companion

Bitdefoot Teefoit 
Increasing in use. Recommended for hill land dairy farms. Good 
on heavier valley soils. Acid or low-fertility ground should be 
limed and fertilized. Valuable for hay in perennial meadows. 
Used in permanent pastures, where it produces excellent feed 
during hot summer. Often in contrast to other legumes. Used 
with shorter-lived legumes like Red Clover, which supplies feed 
the first year or two, until Birdsfoot gets established. Produces 
good hay for cows. High feed value. Helpful in grass-silage 
programs. A heavy producer, slow starting. Helps fight erosion. 
Inoculate. Sow early. 5 lbs. Birdsfoot and 6 lbs. Timothy per 
acre, with 1% bu. Oats or Barley. Drop seed behind grain spouts 
for shallow coverage. . . . Most Hoffman folks use the lower- 
priced broad-leaf type from Europe. Dependable yielder. Others 
the certified Empire strain from New York State.
