against. All seeds offered for sale
4Te tested by the seed Inspector at
the state experiment Btatlon.
All varieties of seed offered for sale
by the members of this association
have been carefully tested for years
and Improved by careful selection and
cultivation and can therefore be re
lied upon.
The Wisconsin agricultural experi
ment station has tendered the state
and nation excellent service In this re
spect and has proved to be the great
est factor for the Improvement of
both yield and quality of Wisconsin
grains and forage plants. To such as
sociations as the above Is due the
credit for Wisconsin’s position aa sec
ond to none In the world as a seed
grain center.
The four-page leaflet (3x6) Issued
by the Beaver Dam club contains the
names of members having grain or
live stock for sale and the number of
bushels of each kind of seed and the
number of head of registered breeds
of live stook.
This leaflet, posting not more than
$2 per thousand, has doubtless been
distributed by each member having

BEST TIME TO SOW ALFALFA
When Done in Spring There Is Dan
ger of Weeds Crowding It Out
Before Well Established'.
(By G. H. ALFORD.)
The best time to sow alfalfa In the
larger part of the south Is in the fall,
say September. The main danger of
sowing alfalfa In the spring Is that
in some sections of crab grass and
weeds crowding out the alfalfa before
It becomes well established.
The land should be very rich,
thoroughly pulverized for several
Inches deep, and well drained. Plow
the land from 30 to 60 days before
planting time. Allow the latd to set
tle and then make a good seed bed
with such Implements as disk har
rows, Bection steel harrows or other
champ pulverizing tools,
one w<
and extra good values which you
receive froin us. There is really
no use of hunting around for
ANY BETTER.
Come to us. You will certainly
be de-lighted with the Braid
flakes and continue to come and
bring your friends.

Sow about 30 pounds of seed per
acre and cover lightly. The main
object is to get a very thick stand.
The alfalfa may be mowed several
times during the fall and winter to
make it stool out. It is necessary
to have a solid mat on the soli In the
spring before the weeds and grass
come up.
Burr clover should also he sown lu
S September. This clover will do well
on nearly any rich, well drained land.
The land should be well prepared and
then seeded at the rate of 15 pounds
per acre. Clean seed are preferable
to seed in the burr.
While alfalfa has never succeeded
on other than lime land, burr clover
does remarkably well on practically
all the rich, well drained land in the
south. It is generally necessary to
Inoculate new soil. However, inocula
tion Is not expensive and burr clover
Is a plant that ought to be planted in
