Wood’s Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixtures 
~ 
- 
Wood’s Permanent Pasture Mixture seeded 26 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. It is more productive, nutritious, palatable and economical than Ladino with Orchard 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 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 mix- 
ture 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. Thousands of prize ani- 
mals 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 legumes keeps grasses dark green and vigorous. 
Contains Ladino, disease-resistant Red Clover, Alfalfa, 
Dixie White Clover, White Dutch, New Zealand Certified 
Permanent Pasture White Clover, Reseeding Crimson, Alsike, 
Birdsfoot Trefoil, Ky. Blue, Red Top, Ky. 31 Fescue, Peren- 
nial and Domestic Rye, Timothy, Orchard, Dallis Grass, etc. 
They grow off faster and flourish in dry summers, crowd- 
ing out weeds that retard Ladino and Orchard or Tall Fescue 
sown alone. They bear abundantly many years, minimizing 
the seeding cost. They are high in protein, minerals and vita- 
mins, are extremely nutritious and palatable. Animals eat 
more and grow faster or produce more milk, saving feed bills. 
LADINO CLOVER—California Grown 
Only Cert. Cal. and Oregon Ladino is eligible for P.M.A. 
Cert. Southern grown Ladino is cheaper but is high in volun- 
teer White Clover. Ladino is the most nutritious, palatable 
and productive year round pasture legume. Its peak growth is 
in early spring and fall when native grasses are short. Is so 
rich it may cause bloating unless grasses are grown with it. 
Sow 1 to 2 Ibs. Ladino with 10 lbs. of orchard grass or tall 
fescue, in early fall. Add 2 Ibs. of Red Clover and 5 Ibs. of 
Alfalfa for more summer pasture. Wood’s Permanent Pas- 
ture and Hay Mixtures contain all these with additional 
grasses and clovers for maximum year ’round production 
and highest feed value, but can not cause bloat. 
KANSAS ALFALFA. U.S. Verified Origin. 
Premium quality. . Eligible for P.M.A. For years Kansas 
has been recommended by the U.S.D.A. and Southern state 
experiment stations, where it has made top yields, persisted 
longer, resisted diseases and winters. Williamsburg, im- 
proved Kansas, will be available October 15th. 
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 all livestock. Pasture 
yields treble by adding Alfalfa. At V.P.I. the first cutting of 
Ladino and Orchard was 657 lbs. of good forage and 375 lbs. 
of weeds. When alfalfa was added good forage was 1,825 lbs. 
and weeds 35 lbs. Put alfalfa on deep well drained soils. Use 
1,000 lbs. of borated 2-12-12 at seeding and 800 lbs. each 
spring. Inoculate and sow 25 lbs. per acre in Aug. or 
Sept. on a firm seedbed; cover 4 inch; cultipack or drag. 
Sow 25 lbs. per acre. 100-lb. bag $35.00: 5-bag lots $34.50 
Pasture Mixture 1, for light gravelly or sandy soil. 
Pasture Mixture 2, for good loam or clay soil. 
Pasture Mixture 3, for moist bottom land. 
Hay Mixture 6, for light gravelly or sandy soil. 
Hay Mixture 7, for good loam or clay soil. 
Hay Mixture 8, for moist bottom land. 
Southern Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixture 12 pro- 
duces tremendous yields of the finest pasture and hay on 
both light and heavy soils in the Southern Coastal area. 
Grasses and clovers in Wood’s Permanent Hay Mixtures ma- 
ture together, making bumper crops easily cured. They re- 
cover quickly, giving several big cuttings of the finest quality 
hay every year. 
How to Fertilize and Seed a Pasture 
If the field has not been limed recently plow or disc in 
about a ton per acre before seeding. Deep roots withstand 
droughts. Encourage deep root growth by plowing down 
1% of the fertilizer. Harrow in the rest just before seeding. 
Use 2-12-12 on heavy or rich soils. Use 5-10-10 on light 
or poor soil. Up to 1,000 lbs. per acre pays. 
The secret of good stands is seed shallow on firm seed 
beds and press the seed to the soil. Grass and clover seed- 
lings have short roots and must catch hold quickly or die. 
They smother out if covered over 44 inch on heavy soils or 
% inch on light sandy soils. Before planting, harrow and 
roll until seedbed is firm. Harrow the seed in very lightly 
then press firm with cultipacker, or roll. 
Sow 25 lbs. per acre in early fall so the seedlings can 
grow deep roots to withstand winters freezing and thawing. 
In the Piedmont or Mountains sow our Mixtures 1 to 8 to 
suit your soil. In Coastal Plains sow our Southern Mixture 12. 
Renovating Worn Out Pastures or Broom Sedge Waste- 
land, disc or harrow in the lime and fertilizer. Seed and 
roll firm. Lime gets rid of the broom sedge and encourages 
legumes, which enrich the soil with nitrogen, stimulate the 
growth of good pasture grasses and increases their protein, 
mineral and vitamin content. Pastures yield 3 times more 
after renovation. Swamps may make your best pasture if 
ditched or drained and Pasture Mixture 3 sown. 
Beardless Colonial 2 Barley producing 90 bu. per acre for 
L. W. Weels, Bedford, Va. Our 212 acres made over 10,000 
bu. of seed, 36% more per acre than our 130 acres of Wong. 
Completely beardless. Excellent winter pasture and nurse 
crop. Tops in Va. tests, ,averaging 64%, bu. per acre to 55 
for Wong. N. C. and S. .C. recommend it. Made 62 bu. per 
acre, highest at Clemson. Averaged 44 more than other 
barleys at all 16 Alabama experiment stations.
