A Great Clover for Pasture 
Sweet Clover has an unusually heavy 
carrying capacity as a pasture. It will take 
care of more stock per acre than any other 
clover. You can get this pasture the same 
year that you sow it. Sweet Clover when 
sown on winter wheat or with spring grain 
will grow quite fast after the grain crop has 
been removed. Generally you can begin pas- 
turing it about the middle of July. You can 
put quite a lot of stock on it. Let the crop 
go into the winter with pretty good top 
growth, That will give the plants added 
strength and enable them to come through 
the winter in better shape. In the second 
year it starts growing early and grows until 
about mid-summer. Some make a practice 
of sowing sweet clover two years in succes- 
sion on the same land. Thus when the sec- 
ond year clover is finishing its growth the 
new seeding is coming along to provide pas- 
ture for the balance of the season. You can 
maintain a pasture this way for several 
years. 
Generally Makes Hay the First Year 
While the sweet clover is used principally 
for soil improvement and for pasture it also 
will make good hay, especially the first year. 
It should be cut early enough in the fall so 
that the growth can come on to make good 
production before winter sets in or cut it 
with a fairly high stubble. The feeding 
value of sweet clover hay, especially the first 
year's crop, is very good. It should be well 
cured so that it does not become moldy, If 
you wish hay in the second year be sure to 
cut it with a high stubble. The second crop 
from sweet clover, in the second year of its 
growth, comes up from the stubble and not 
from a crown like alfalfa. If: you cut sweet 
clover close to the ground in the second year 
of its growth you will generally kill it out. 
If it is cut for hay in the second year, cut 
it about the time the bloom buds begin to 
show up.

Sweet Clover Grows Fast 
I sowed Gro-Coated Red and 
Sweet Clover this year. While 
the Wheat was not too heavy, 
the Red Clover was healthy 
and grew vigorously. In one 
field this spring, I plowed it 
up and sowed Gro-Coated 
Sweet Clover alone, putting 12 
pounds to the acre. Have a 
wonderful stand now in Sep- 
tember; it is 5 feet tall. The 
plant certainly grows vigor- 
ously, ;

and Sweet Clover are growing together in the same fields.

Gro-Coated Alfalfa Grows Fast 
_Gro-Coated Alfalfa was sown 
with the Barley and it grew 
nearly as fast as the Grain. 
The Barley made a_ heavy 
stand. It ran 61 bu. to the 
acre, yet the Alfalfa was as 
fine a stand as could be. Since 
threshing, 40 head of cattle 
are running on it and it's still 
growing. I think Gro-Coated 
is a wonderful help in getting 
stands and should be expanded 
to all grasses,

Withstands Dry Weather Better 
I sowed Sweet Clover, some 
mixed seed and Korean Lespe- 
deza, all Gro-Coated. Used less 
seed than normal and got good 
stands, I think the crops from 
treated seed stand the dry 
weather much better.

deserves its name ‘‘Soil-Builder.”’ It does wonders for a soil when such a 
growth is plowed under. While hay is not as fine as Medium Red, the 
yields are enormous. 
Because this seed is grown and harvested mixed, it can’t be sold as 
either straight Sweet Clover or Mammoth. So we get it at a sharp discount 
and therefore, can offer you a matchless value in this Gro-Coated seed.

Gro-Coated Seed 
Made the Best Stand 
I sowed some Gro-Coated Sweet 
Clover last year, using 8 pounds to 
the acre. That is less than I nor- 
mally sow, On account of soil con- 
ditions being different in the field 
there was some difference in per- 
formance, There is not much stand 
where the seed was 
not Gro-coated.
