Wood’s Permanent Hay and Pasture Mixtures 
More economical, productive, nutritious and palatable than Ladino with Orchard 
grass or Tall Fescue. Sow 25 ibs. per acre in eariy spring or fail. 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 Ibs. in 1951 as Ladino winterkilled, leaving 
no legume to furnish nitrogen to the grass. The quality and feeding value was cut. 
Thousands of prize cattle have died bloating when only one grass was planted and 
disappeared, leaving only Ladino to graze. Our mixtures, proved superior for 4 gen- 
erations, contain 9 legumes and 8 grasses, well balanced and cannot bloat: Ladino, 
Orchard, Tall Fescue, Disease Resistant Red Clover, Alfalfa, Dixie White Clover, Birds- 
foot Trefoil, Reseeding Crimson Clover, Alsike, Korean and Kobe Lespedezas, Ky. Blue, 
Red Top, Meadow Fescue, Timothy, Dallis Grass, etc. They grow off faster and 
flourish in dry summers, crowding out weeds that retard Ladino, Orchard and Tall 
Fescue sown alone. They bear abundantly many years, minimizing the seeding cost. 
They are high in protein, extremely nutritious and palatable. Animals eat more and 
grow faster or produce more milk, saving feed bills. 
Ben Mayo, a booster for Woed’s Permanent Pasture Mixtures, 
shows Bill Wood a 55-acre pasture in Edgecombe Co., N. C., in 
one of the worst August droughts. 135 cattle could not keep 
it grazed down. Seeded 25 years ago, it is much more produc- 
tive and palatable than a nearby pasture seeded 3 years ago 
with Tall Fescue and Ladino, which is about gone. The old 
pasture still furnishes a balanced diet of many grasses and 
clovers that never caused bloat. The clovers furnish nitrogen 
keeping the grasses dark green, vigorous and high in protein. 
WILLIAMSBURG, Certified, The Best Alfalfa for the South. 
Bu. Bags. New Long Lived, Disease Resistant Variety. Recovers Quicker After Cutting. 
Far Outyields Other Varieties. Recommended by Southern Experiment Stations. 
It was selected from an old field of Kansas Alfalfa that had persisted many years 
under humid diseased conditions in Eastern Virginia where most alfalfas soon perish. 
It resists summer diseases, stem and crown rot that kill out other alfalfas. 
Hundreds of pastures were ruined when drought killed Ladino, 
their only legume. 
Stands last longer and yield much more after the first year. Similar in 
growth and winter-hardiness to Kansas, it recovers quicker after cutting, 
crowding out summer weeds, Bermuda and Crab grass, and yielded 10% 
more for 6 years at 5 Va. experiment stations. 
The Md. Expt. Station recommends it above all alfalfas: “Williamsburg 
has been outstanding in yield and longevity of stand wherever tested in 
Maryland. It recovers quicker after cutting and produces more hay the 
second and third harvests than other varieties. It withstands drought and 
resists crown and root rots. There is often little difference the first year 
between adapted and unadapted varieties, but by the second year stands 
of unadapted varieties become badly depleted. Adapted varieties may 
produce 1/2 to almost 2 tons more hay per acre than inferior varieties after 
the first year.” The third year it yielded far more than any other alfalfa 
throughout Md.; 1/3 more than Kansas, Atlantic, Buffalo or any other 
variety in the Coastal Plain. 
Williamsburg Alfalfa, lush vigorous growth. It recovers quicker after 
cutting; resists winters and summer diseases that kill out other alfalfas; 
stands last longer and yield far more after the first year. At the Eastern 
Virginia Experiment Station for 3 years it has outyielded 11 varie- 
ties, averaging 47/2 tons of hay per acre, over a ton more than 
Atlantic, Kansas and Buffalo, 
Wood’s Permanent Pasture Mixtures 
Grasses and clovers whose maximum 
growth is at different times thru-out 
the year for abundant nutritious 
year-round grazing. No one variety 
grows well all year. Cannot bloat. 
1. For light gravelly or sandy soil. 
2. For good loam soil. 
3. For moist bottom land. 
Wood’s Permanent Hay Mixtures 
Grasses and clovers maturing to- 
gether making bumper hay crops, 
easily cured. They recover quickly, 
giving several big cuttings of finest 
quality, high protein hay every year. 
6. For light gravelly or sandy soil. 
7. For good loam or clay soil. 
8. For moist bottom land. 
Wocd’s Southern Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixture 12 produces tremen- 
dous yields of the finest nutritious pasture and hay on both light and heavy 
soils in the Southern Coastal area from Virginia to the Gulf. 
Sow 25 lbs. per acre, not over V4 to V2 inch deep, on a good firm seed 
bed, then cultipak. Treat seed with Arasan, page 44; and Wood's Inocu- 
lation 2, page 58. Disc in about a ton of lime per acre and up to 1,000 
Ibs. of 2-12-12. 
ATLANTIC ALFALFA, Certified. 9972% pure, bu. bags. 
Vigorous. High Yielding. Resists leaf spot and other foliage diseases that 
often kill alfalfa stands in 3 years in the Southeast. Winter hardy: fairly 
resistant to bacterial wilt. A stand lasts more years, producing more hay 
per acre, higher in protein and feed value, even on poorer soils, in the 
South and East. It was developed here for resistance to leaf diseases 
by intercrossing 100 highest yielding most vigorous, disease and winter 
resistant varieties. They were planted on low-fertility soils. Only plants 
that persisted and produced well were saved for further breeding. Atlantic 
has made high yields in tests thru-out the Southeast. Its fast growth and 
rapid recovery produces maximum hay and pasture yields. 
KANSAS ALFALFA, Premium Quality. U. S. Verified Origin 
99V2% Pure. 90% Germination. Recommended for years by the U.S.D.A. 
and Southeastern experiment stations where it has made top yields, more 
resistant to diseases; stands have persisted longer than seed from other 
sections, and been winter hardy, as Kansas has a climate like the Southeast. 
We have sold seed from this section many years. 
ALFALFA lasts for years, improves soils and produces greatest yields of hay, 
' pasture and silage, higher in protein, minerals, and feed value, relished by 
all livestock. Pasture yields increase up to 3 times by adding alfalfa. At 
V.P.1. the first cutting of Ladino-Orchard Grass was 657 Ibs. of good 
forage and 375 Ibs. of weeds. Alfalfa-Ladino-Orchard good forage was 
1,825 lbs. and weeds 35 Ibs. Mineral plant food for this growth must be 
put in the soil. Alfalfa uses twice as much phosphorus and calcium and 
3 times as much potash as Lespedeza. Put alfalfa on deep well drained 
soils. Use 1,000 Ibs. of borated 2-12-12 at seeding and 800 Ibs. borated 
0-14-14 each spring. Sow in April, August or Sept. on firm seedbed; cover 
V4 inch; cultipak or drag; 25 Ibs. per acre or 20 Ibs. with 5 Ibs. orchard 
grass. Add 5 lbs. alfalfa seed to every pasture mixture. Use Wood's Inocu- 
lation 1, page 58, Each Sept. spray 1V/2 Ibs. D.D.T. per acre to kill spittle 
bugs before they lay; if grazing use Methoxychlor.
