BIRDSFOOT 
REFOIL 
Increasing in use, seems best adapted in 
northern Pennsylvania and New York 
State. Acid or low-fertility ground should 
be limed and fertilized. Valuable for hay 
in perennial meadows .. . high feed value 
. . . heavy producer. Used in permanent 
pastures, where it produces excellent feed 
during hot summer. Used with shorter- 
lived legumes like Red Clover, which sup- 
plies feed the first year or two, until Birds- 
foot gets established. Helpful in grass-silage 
programs. Helps fight erosion. 
ARASAN 
and 6 lbs. Timothy per acre, with 114 bu. 
Oats or Barley. Drop seed behind grain 
spouts for shallow coverage. Most Hoff- 
man folks use the lower-priced broad-leaf 
type from Europe. Dependable yielder. 
Others, the certified Empire strain from 
New York State. 
TIMOTHY 
‘‘“FARMER’S CHOICE”’ Brand 
Used and liked as a dependable hay-crop- 
ping grass on more Northeastern farms 
than perhaps any other. Popular com- 
panion of the leading legumes. Everyone 
is well acquainted with this crop—no need 
to list its merits. “Farmer’s Choice” Timo- 
thy bearing the Hoffman tag will be of 
strictly high quality. You can rely upon its 
cleanness and sound growth. 
In tests, the average increase in alfalfa stands with ‘‘Arasan’’ dust treatment was 33 per cent. 
Alfalfa-clover mixtures averaged 44 per cent increase in stand. Soybeans, red and alsike 
clover, Sudan and other grasses also started better. 
Too long overlooked has been the killing off of tender seedlings, blighted before they could 
get above ground. Some plants would get through. Digging disclosed that many other seeds 
did germinate. But their tops and roots had been killed. ‘‘Arasan’’ gets more of the tiny plants 
up—past the stage of high seedling mortality .. . 
assures better, healthy stands. 
Treat legume seeds with ‘‘Arasan.’’ Inoculate later. There is no interference by either treat- 
ment. Both are great aids. ‘‘Arasan”’ is non-poisonous. 8 oz. treats 100 Ibs. of seed.

‘‘Rather than buy what 
the ‘other fellow’ grew, 
why not let our own 
acres produce the Oats 
we need this year?”’ 
The kind of reasoning printed above, 
makes sense. Today’s farm-dollars have so 
many other uses. The idea of home-pro- 
duction of oats is being carried out on 
thousands of northeastern farms. Have you 
the need for oats in your feeding program 
this year? If so, the following pages should 
have your attention . . . they offer seed 
strains that can be of real help.
