LESPEDEZA: Millions of acres hard hit by drouth will 
need Lespedeza. It is recommended for soil types not 
favorable to other legumes. Snow and rains in the 
drouth-stricken areas where Lespedeza is a popular 
pasture and hay crop point to a heavy demand this 
season. Supplies are below normal.

LADINO CLOVER: So little is required per acre that 
it is one of the cheapest of the legumes to use. With the 
return of normal moisture conditions, it will be wanted 
in most pastures as a supplement to the grasses. Only a 
half pound to pound per acre needed in pasture mix- 
tures. Sown straight, at two to three pounds per acre, 
it makes excelient hog and poultry pasture.

KEN TUCKY BLUE GRASS: Cost of using Kentucky 
Blue Grass in making a lawn is actually less than that 
of other good turf grasses because of the greater number 
of seeds per pound. Kentucky Blue Grass, for example, 
contains three to four times as many seeds per pound as 
fancy fescues. For most parts of the country, Kentucky 
Blue Grass is still the most dependable of grasses for a 
fine, lasting lawn. Shows remarkable endurance under 
extremes of weather, — high and low temperatures, 
drouth and wet periods. The Midwestern drouth in 
1954 was severe, yet Kentucky Blue Grass on the 
average lawn came out of its dormancy to make a good 
showing this Fall. Sow EARLY (February/March) for 
best results.
