Pasture Mixture 1, for light gravelly or sandy soil - If the field has not been limed recently plow or disc in 
Pasture Mixture 2, for good loam or clay soil about a ton per acre before seeding. Deep roots withstand 
Pasture Mixture 3, for moist bottom land droughts. Encourage deep root growth by plowing down 
Hay Mixture 6, for light gravelly or sandy soil one-half of the fertilizer. Harrow in the rest just before 
y 3 4 Buti s: y t seeding. Use 2-12-12 on heavy or rich soils. Use 5-10-10 
Hay Mixture 7, for good loam or clay soil on light or poor soil. Up to 1,000 lbs. per acre pays. 
Hay Mixture 8, for moist bottom land 
The secret of good stands is seed shallow on firm seed 
beds and press the seed to the soil. Grass and clover seed- 
lings have short roots and must catch hold quickly or die. 
They smother out if covered over one-fourth inch on heavy 
soils or one-half inch on light sandy soils. Before planting, 
harrow and roll until seedbed is firm. Harrow the seed in 
very lightly then press firm with cultipacker or roll.

Southern Permanent Pasture and Hay Mixture 12 pro- 
duces tremendous yields of the finest pasture and hay on 
both light and heavy soils in the Southern Coastal area. 
Sow 25 Ibs. per acre in early fall so the seedlings can 
grow deep roots to withstand winter freezing and thawing. 
In the Piedmont or Mountains sow our Mixtures 1 to 8 to 
suit your soil. In Coastal Plains sow our Southern Mixture 12. 
Renovating Worn Out Pastures or Broom Sedge Waste- 
land, disc or harrow in the lime and fertilizer. Seed and 
roll firm. Lime gets rid of the broom sedge and encourages 
legumes, which enrich the soil with nitrogen, stimulates the 
growth of good pasture grasses and increases theor protein, 
mineral and vitamin content. Pastures yield three times 
more after renovation. Swamps may make your best pasture 
if ditched or drained and Pasture Mixture 3 sown. 
Wood’s Grass Seeds are thoroughly recleaned and tested, 
have the highest purity and germination to produce quick 
stands and vigorous growth of productive, weed-free hay, 
pastures, beautiful lawns or parks. 
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 compatable clovers and grasses are added. 
They concluded: “Using more than one legume in a mix- 
ture is a good insurance investment because species differ in 
adaptability to soil, climatic and biological growth factors.” 
Our mixtures proved superior for 4 generations, contain 9 
grasses and 8 legumes, are well balanced, cannot bloat. Nitro- 
gen from legumes keeps grasses dark green and vigorous. 
Contains Ladino, Red Clover, Alfalfa, Dixie White Clover, 
New Zealand Certified Permanent Pasture White ‘Clover, 
Crimson, Alsike, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Ky. Blue, Red Top, Ky. 31 
Fescue, Rye Grass, Timothy, Orchard, etc. 
Wood’s Grain Pasture Mixture 
Furnishes more grazing in less time and at less cost than 
other spring crops. Highly nutritious balanced diet. Cannot 
cause bloat. Reduces grain feed when costs are high. Saves 
labor in feeding. Small grains make more growth in cool 
Fall ACP Program for Cover Crops 
The Virginia State ASC Committee has arranged to in- 
clude in the 1955 Agricultural Conservation Program a 
practice of seeding winter cover crops without the “usual 
acreage limitation” that was in effect in 1954. weather than pasture grass or legumes. Our mixture con- 
tains Oats and Rye Grass, Beardless Barley and Wheat, 
Although final details have not been worked out, it is which grow in colder weather than oats. Dwarf Essex Rape 
anticipated that the government will share with farmers 
to the extent of 50 per cent of the cost of the seed for 
crimson clover, annual rye grass, Austrian winter peas, hairy 
vetch and rye, when seeded in the fall of 1955 for winter 
cover, together with 50 per cent of the cost of needed fer- 
tilizer used. This also applies to North Carolina, South 
Carolina and other southern states. This may well result 
in some increase in demand for seed of these crops this fall. 
Our Crimson Clover is of unusually high quaality from 
a standpoint of purity. It is possible for Crimson Clover to 
contain thousands of mustard seed per pound, and still show 
a purity of 98.50% on the analysis tag. 
The domestic Crimson Clover crop was only about one- 
fourth of normal. The price of Crimson Clover will no 
doubt hold firm in view of short crop and ACP program, 
which will increase the demand. 
stays green and palatable in the coldest weather, high in 
vitamins and relished by all livestock, particularly hogs 
and poultry. Peas and Hairy Vetch supply proteins for 
growth and warmth in cold weather and enrich the soil 
with nitrogen. The ideal nurse crop for seeding permanent 
pasture mixtures. Drill 100 lbs. per acre. 
100-lb. bag, $8.50; 5-bag lots, $8.25 
Wood’s Grain Hay Mixture 
Makes bumper crops of nutritious hay, easy to cure, 
relished by all livestock. A balanced ration of protein, 
vitamins and other food elements. Much more productive 
and palatable than oats or any other crop sown alone. Ideal 
hurse crop for seeding permanent grass and clover, as it 
comes off early. Sow 100 lbs. acre. Fertilize well. 
100-Ib. bag, $3.50; 5-bag lots, $8.25 f.o.b.
