Wood’s Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixtures 
Wood’s Permanent Pasture Mixture seeded years ago, now more productive than ever. 
It’s grasses and 
clovers make their maximum growth at different times throughout the year for abundant year-round graz- 
ing. 
Sow 25 Ibs. per acre in March or April. Experi- 
ment station tests show yields of pasture and hay 
increase aS more seed per acre is sown, up to 25 
lbs., and as more different compatible 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 Ibs. 
dry weight in 1950 but only 1,561 in 1951 as the 
Ladino winterkilled, leaving no legume to furnish 
nitrogen to the grass. The quality and feeding 
value was also cut. They concluded: ‘Using more 
than one legume in a mxture is a good insurance 
investment because species differ in adaptability to 
soil, climatic and biological growth factors.” 
Hundreds of pastures were ruined by the 1952 
drought, killing Ladino, their only legume. Thou- 
sands of prize animals have died bloating when only 
one grass was planted and disappeared, leaving only 
Ladino clover to graze on. Our mixtures, proved 
superior for 4 generations, contain 9 grasses and 9 
legumes, are well balanced, and cannot bloat. Nitro-) 
gen from the legumes keeps the grasses dark green. 
Ladino, Orchard Grass and Ky. 31 or Alta Fescue. 
is the base, with disease resistant Red Clover and 
Alfalfa, Dixie White Clover, White Dutch Clover, 
New Zealand Certified Permanent Pasture White 
Clover, Alsike, Korean and Kobe Lespedeza, Dallis 
Grass, Ky. Blue, Red Top, Meadow Fescue, etc.

It is more productive, nutritious, palatable and economical than Ladino with Orchard or Tall Fescue. 
They grow off faster and flourish in dry summers, 
crowding out weeds that retard Ladino and Orchard 
or Tall Fescue sown alone. They bear abundantly 
many years, minimizing the seeding cost. They are 
high is protein, minerals and vitamins, are extremely 
nutritious and palatable. Animals eat more and 
grow faster or produce more milk, saving feed bills. 
Grasses and clovers in Wood’s Permanent Hay 
Mixtures mature together, making bumper crops 
easily cured. They recover quickly, giving several 
big cuttings of the finest quality hay every year.

The Splendid Permanent Grass for Year Round 
Pastures from Mountains to the Gulf, as it comes 
nearer growing the year round than most grasses. 
Grows rapidly except in very cold weather. A bunch 
grass with deep roots. It stops erosion, is fair for 
hay and excellent for grazing. All livestock relish 
it, and leave Ky. Blue and other fine pasture grasses 
for it. At an experiment station it fattened 10 
steers per acre. It allows clovers, lespedezas and 
other good pasture grasses to grow freely with 
it, but chokes out objectionable weeds. Once estab- 
lished it lasts indefinitely; not a pest. It thrives on all 
soils. Sow 10 lbs. per acre in early spring or fall in 
every grass, clover or lespedeza field. f.o.b. per 100 
Ibs., $110.00; postpaid, 25 Ibs., $30.55; 10 Ibs., $12.70.
