water stands for a week or more. 
Ladino will tolerate more acidity than Alfalfa. It 
‘does respond well to lime, however. It is recommended 
‘that limestone be applied at the rate shown by a soil 
test. 
Except when growing Ladino for seed, it should 
“never be grown alone. Grasses such as smooth Brome, 
Orchard Grass, or Timothy are best for planting with 
Ladino. 
MAINLY WHITE SWEET CLOVER 
This is by far the most popular biennial variety. 
It stores up a tremendous quantity of reserve food in 
its deep tap root. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. 
YELLOW DWARF 
This variety is also a biennial, growing a crop the 
first year; flowers, bears seed and dies at the end of 
the second year. Stems are finer. Sow 12 to 15 lbs. per 
acre. 
HUBAM 
Annual white. Where it is considered. desirable to 
have the crop make its growth, flower, form seed and 
die in one year, Hubam has advantages Sow 10 to 12 
Ibs. per acre. 
ALSIKE OR SWEDISH CLOVER 
Produces the finest crop of clover hay; unusually 
hardy, and well adapted for pasture. Thrives best on 
low lands. Sow 5 to 6 lbs. per acre. 
MAMMOTH AND MEDIUM RED 
CLOVER (Trifolium spp.) 
Soil Requirements . 
Red Clover makes its best growth on rich, well 
drained soil high in lime. The field should be reasonably 
free of weeds. Red Clover will not tolerate alkali and 
is not drought resistant. 
Seedbed | % 
th, same as for Alfalfa and Ladino. 
Seeding E 
Red Clover may be broadcast or drilled alone or in 
mixtures with other legumes or grasses. If broadcast 
alone, 10 to 15 pounds per acre are used; if drilled alone, — 
6 to 8 pounds, and when in mixtures it is added (to. the 
mixture) at the rate of 2 to 4 pounds per acre. 
Plant more Clovers and Alfalfa to build up your soil. 
Clovers and Alfalfa will put nitrogen and organic | ma- 
’ terials into your ground faster than any other crop. e 
is time that each 160 acres of farm land has 40 acres d 
of Clover or Alfalfa planted each year and plowed un-
