SEASONABLE  NOTES 

The  very  unusual  dry  spell  that  has  prevailed  throughout 
practically  the  whole  world  has  caused  untold  damage  to  grow- 
ing crops,  and  there  is  every  indication  for  higher  values  very 
soon  on  what  the  farm  produces.  Optimism  is  once  again  on  the 
lips  of  the  S'outhern  farmer,  and  with  both  cotton  and  tobacco 
showing  an  upturn  we  can  look  to  the  future  for  much  better 
and  more  prosperous  times  than  we  have  experienced  in  the 
past  twelve  months.  Our  Southern  farmers  should  take  advan- 
tage of  this  opportunity  now,  and  put  in  all  available  lands  to 
crops  that  will  pay  dividends.  Keep  the  land  in  a high  state  of 
cultivation  by  sowing  Crimson  Clover  or  Vetch,  both  of  which 
are  excellent  soil  improving  and  grazing  crops. 

With  seasonable  rains  in  the  Southern  States  we  look  for 
an  unprecedented  demand  for  Crimson  Clover,  Vetch,  and  all 
seeds  for  fall  planting.  Prices  at  which  Crimson  Clover  and 
Vetch  are  now  being. sold  are  far  below  replacement  value, 
which  is  due  to  the  light  demand,  but  with  seasonable  rains 
you  can  look  for  heavy  advances  on  both  of  these  items.  We 
very  strongly  recommend  to  our  customers  early  purchases  of 
their  fall  seed  requirements,  as  we  firmly  believe  that  there 
will  be  a considerable  saving  to  them. 

Our  New  Fall  Catalog  gives  the  most  up-to-date  information 
regarding  both  field  and  garden  crops.  If  you  have  not  re- 
ceived a copy,  write  for  it  today.  Free  upon  request. 

Abruzzi  Rye  continues  in  popularity  throughout  the  costal 
section  of  the  Southern  States.  Its  earliness  and  stooling 
qualities  place  it  far  ahead  of  the  ordinary  Winter  Rye  for 
grazing  purposes. 

The  Fulghum  Oat  is  rapidly  becoming  the  standard  variety 
for  the  eastern  section  of  the  South  Atlantic  States.  Its  pro- 
ductiveness and  early  maturity  has  given  it  preference  over 
other  fall  sowm  oats,  being  ready  to  cut  just  ahead  of  wheat 
harvest. 

For  the  mountainous  districts  the  Virginia  Gray  Winter  or 
Turf  Oat  is  preferable  on  account  of  its  extreme  hardiness. 
Its  stooling  qualities  are  excellent,  and  the  yield  of  grain  is 
larger  than  that  of  any  other  fall  sown  oat. 

The  Appier  and  Red  Rust  Proof  are  also  very  satisfactory 
and  large  yielding  kinds,  giving  heavy  yields  of  grain  all 
through  this  and  the  Southern  States. 


CRIMSON  CLOVER 

For  the  Middle  Atlantic  and  Southeastern  States  there  is  no 
better  crop  that  can  be  sown  this  month  for  forage,  green 
manure  or  winter  cover  crop.  It  is  of  special  value  as  a green 
manure  crop  to  increase  the  humus  and  nitrogen  content  of  the 
soil  upon  which  it  is  produced.  The  really  remarkable  soil 
improvement  resulting  from  the  use  of  Crimson  Glover,  makes 
it  very  desirable  that  as  large  an  area  as  possible  be  seeded  to 
this  leguminous  crop.  Instances  are  not  rare  where  the  yields 
of  corn  have  been  increased  from  10  to  70  bushels  per  acre 
by  the  use  of  this  valuable  legume  in  rotation. 

For  dairymen  and  cattle  raisers.  Crimson  Clover  is  indis- 
pensable, both  for  its  value  as  a winter  and  spring  grazing 
crop  and  for  early  green  food. 

S’eptember  is  generally  considered  the  best  time  for  sowing 
Crimson  Clover,  as  there  are  more  frequent  rains  and  less 
danger  of  the  stand  being  damaged  by  hot,  dry  spells.  It  can 
be  grown  successfully  on  almost  any  type  of  soil  that  is  well 
drained  and  supplied  with  organic  matter.  The  seed  bed 
should  be  well  and  thoroughly  prepared,  having  the  aoil  firm, 
moist  and  well  settled.  This  can  be  best  obtained  by  plowing 
the  land  about  two  or  three  weeks  before  sowing  and  then 
harrowing  and  cross  harrowing  at  intervals.  Immdiately  after 
a good  rain  run  the  harrow  over  the  field  and  sow  the  seed, 
covering  lightly  with  a brush  harrow.

SEED  WHEAT 

All  of  our  seed  stocks  of  Wheat  are  especially  drawn  from 
sections  that  were  not  affected  by  blight,  and  from  crops  yield- 
ing as  high  as  25  to  35  bushels  per  acre.  All  are  carefully  re- 
cleaned to  remove  any  impurities  and  small  or  inferior  grains, 
and  are  decidedly  superior  to  ordinary  seed  stocks  being  offered 
at  low  prices.  Our  seed  stocks  in  actual  test  show  a purity 
of  over  99%  and  germination  over  95%. 

We  can  offer  Leap’s  Prolific  and  Stoner  Wheats  grown  in 
both  the  Shenandoah  Valley  and  Piedmont  sections.  The  Shen- 
andoah wheat  was  grown  on  limestone  land,  having  an  unusual 
large,  plump  berry. 

Samples  of  all  varieties  of  wheat  will  be  cheerfully  sent  free 
upon  request.  Be  sure  and  inspect  these  samples  before  secur- 
ing your  seed  requirements. 


WOOD’S  CROP  SPECIAL. 


ALFALFA  FOR  THE  SOUTH 

We  can  now  supply  our  customers  with  the  regular  Alfalfa 
and  the  Hairy  Peruvian  Alfalfa,  both  American  grown.  The 
Hairy  Peruvian  is  especially  adapted  to  sowing  in  the  southern 
section  of  South  Carolina,  Georgia,  and  other  Gulf  States, 
where  long  growing  seasons  are  available.  It  not  only  matures 
in  a shorter  time  than  the  regular  alfalfa,  but  also  makes  more 
growth  during  the  winter  months,  thereby  furnishing  earlier 
and  larger  quantities  of  both  hay  and  pasturage.  The  in- 
creased yield  per  season,  covering  actual  tests  of  several 
years,  averages  about  three-quarters  of  a ton  per  acre  over 
the  regular  alfalfa,  which  is  due  to  the  longer  growing  season. 
It  is  characterized  by  rapid  growth,  quick  recovery  after  cut- 
ting, and  ability  to  grow  in  cooler  weather  than  the  regular 
alfalfa,  although  not  adapted  to  sections  where  the  winter 
temperature  falls  below  10  degrees  Fahrenheit.  For  low  lying 
lands  in  the  above  sections  we  can  unhesitatingly  recommend 
the  Hairy  Peruvian  Alfalfa. 

For  North  Carolina,  Virginia,  and  more  northerly  sections,  the 
regular  alfalfa  is  by  far  superior,  as  it  is  hardier  and  will  not 
winter  kill  in  colder  climates. 

The  Grim  Alfalfa  is  the  hardiest  of  all  the  varieties  of  alfalfa, 
-and  is— ^spcciaHy  -adapted  to  cold  cliniates  or  montainous  dis- 
tricts. The  Grim,  in  tests  made  at  our  experimental  farm,  has 
proven  superior  to  other  varieties  in  yield  and  ability  to  with- 
stand extreme  cold  weather. 

The  best  time  for  sowing  alfalfa  is  during  September,  and 
we  strongly  recommend  liberal  seedings  on  account  of  the 
probable  scarcity  of  hay,  due  to  the  drought  that  has  extended 
over  practically  the  entire  Southern  States. 

Full  information  regarding  preparation  of  soil,  seeding,  etc,, 
given  on  page  3 of  our  Fall  Catalog.

- HAIRY  VETCH  (Vicia  ViUosa) 

It  is  the  hardiest  variety  of  the  Vetch  family  and  better 
adapted  to  sowing  in  Virginia,  North  Carolina,  and  Northern 
States.  Vetch  is  high  in  protein  and  furnishes  an  excellent 
pasturage,  hay  and  soiling  crop,  greatly  improving  the  land 
by  adding  nitrogen  and  organic  matter  to  the  soil.  Actual 
tests  have  shown  that  cow  pea  hay  contains  approximately 
only  four-fifths  as  much  nitrogen  as  a ton  of  vetch  hay,  so  it 
can  be  readily  seen  what  wonderful  soil  improving  properties 
Vetch  contains.  The  value  of  Vetch  is  being  rapidly  appre- 
ciated by  our  Southern  farmers,  and  is  being  used  to  a larger 
extent  every  year.  It  has  a much  longer  planting  season  than 
Crimson  Clover,  as  it  can  be  satisfactorily  sown  from  August 
until  September. 

On  account  of  its  reclining  growth,  it  is  advisable  to  sow 
witii  oats  for  support,  at  the  rate  of  25  pounds  of  Vetch  with 
three-fourth  bushel  of  oats  to  the  acre.  Can  also  be  satis- 
factorily seeded  with  rye,  barley  or  wheat,  but  when  planted 
with  oats,  the  vetch  can  more  easily  be  separated  from  the 
oats.  It  is  considered  that  vetch  and  oats  make  a better  crop 
of  hay. 

Oregon  Vetch  Vicia  Sativa)  is  not  quite  so  hardy  as  the 
Hairy  Vetch,  and  only  recommended  for  sowing  in  South  Caro- 
lina, Georgia  and  the  Gulf  States.  It  is  of  more  upright  growth 
and  has  a wider  and  smoother  leaf,  and  consequently  is  more 
desirable  for  a hay  crop  in  the  extreme  Southern  States.

WOOD’S  GRAIN  PASTURE  MIXTURE 

For  a quick  growing,  one  season  pasture  it  is  unsurpassed. 
Contains  the  best  grazing  varieties  of  Winter  Rye,  Wheat, 
Barley,  Turf  Oats.  Rape  and  Vetch,  and  is  highly  recommended 
for  pasturage  during  fall,  winter,  spring  and  early  summer.  A 
very  economical  mixture  to  sow  for  quick  returns.

sow  LA\TS  GRASS  IN  SEPTEMBER 

This  summer  has  been  unusually  severe  on  lawns,  and  seed- 
ing this  fall  is  advisable  for  a good  green  appearance  the  coming 
winter  and  spring.  As  soon  after  a gooa  rain  as  possible, 
carefully  rake  the  soil  and  sow  Wood’s  Evergreen  Lawn  Grass. 
An  application  of  Bone  Meal  will  aid  materially  towards  a 
better  stand. 

Our  Wood’s  Evergreen  Lawn  Grass  is  composed  of  only  the 
finest  growing  turf  grasses,  and  is  especially  adapted  to  sowing 
on  lawns  where  special  care  and  attention  can  be  given. 
Wood’s  Permanent  Lawn  Grass,  a mixture  of  more  robust 
growing  grasses,  is  especially  prepared  for  parks  or  large 
places  where  special  care  cannot  be  given. 


WOOD’S  SPECIAL  GRASS  AND  CLOVER 
MIXTURES 

These  mixtures  are  composed  of  only  the  very  best  seeds, 
all  of  Wood’s  Trade  Mark  Brand  quality.  They  contain  from 
9 to  13  different  varieties  of  grasses  and  clovers,  mixed  in 
proper  proportion  for  soils  to  which  they  are  recommended, 
and  have  given  the  best  of  satisfaction  wherever  used.  They 
have  an  enviable  reputation  for  furnishing  an  abundance  of 
hay  and  excellent  grazing  where  the  sowing  of  only  one  or 
two  grasses  have  failed.  The  increased  number  of  orders 
that  we  receive  every  season  for  our  Special  Mixtures  is  evi- 
dence that  they  give  the  largest  yields  of  hay  and  pasturage. 

We  have  especially  prepared  from  our  own  experience  five 
mixtures  for  permanent  pasture  and  four  for  mowing  for  hay, 
put  up  for  different  types  of  soil.  Full  information  is  given  on 
pages  6 and  7 of  our  New  Fall  Catalog. 

Any  of  our  customers  who  have  any  special  formulas  for 
mixtures  of  grasses  and  clovers,  which  they  expect  to'  put  in 
this  fall,  we  shall  be  pleased  to  quote  prices  on  their  require- 
ments, either  mixed  or  separately.  We  make  no  charge  for 
mixing  grasses  and  clovers  for  our  customers.

GRAIN  PURCHASES  THIS  FALL 

Special  care  should  be  taken  this  year  in  purchasing  grain 
for  seed,  which  includes  Wheat,  Oats,  and  Rye.  The  very  un-/ 
favorable  weather  during  the  growing  seasons  has  had  its 
effect  on  these  crops  this  year,'  and  consequently  the  bulk  of 
grain  offered  is  light  in  weight  and  from  crops  of  small  yields. 
This  condition  will  naturally  cause  a large  quantity  of  light 
weight  grain  to  be  offered  on  our  markets  at  low  prices.  Grain 
of  this  quality  is  unfit  for  seed  purposes,  and  if  planted  will 
affect  the  yield  to  a very  large  extent. 

We  are  drawing  our  supplies  of  seed  grain  from  localities 
that  did  not  suffer  from  the  above  condition,  and  our  customers, 
when  buying  Wood’s  Trade  Mark  Brand  Seeds,  can  rely  on 
their  quality  being  the  best  recleaned  stock  available.  A com- 
parison of  our  samples  will  convince  you  that  our  prices  are 
low  when  quality  is  considered.

Barley  is  considered  a stronger  and  more  nutritious  feed 
than  rye,  and  makes  one  of  the  best,  winter  cover  and  pasture 
crops,  as  well  as  furnishing  excellent  yields  of  grain.  We  can 
supply  the  Winter  Bearded  Barley  or  the  Arlington  Beardless 
Barley,  both  well  suited  for  sowing  in  Virginia  and  the  South- 
ern States.

FERTILIZERS  FOR  FALL  GRAIN  CROPS 

“In  spite  of  the  low  prices  of  farm  crops  it  still  pays  to  use 
fertilizer  on  a crop  hke  wheat.” 

This  is  the  opinion  of  the  Missouri.  Agricultural  College, 
and  we  are  in  agreement  with  it. 

Fertilizer  prices  are  very  much  lower  than  they  were  a 
year  ago,  and  it  will  certainly  pay  the  farmer  in  increased 
yield  to  use  fertilizers  this  fall  both  for  wheat  and  other  grain 
crops. 

Bone  Meal  is  now  greatly  under  last  fall’s  prices,  at  which 
time  there  was  a restricted  use  on  account  of  the  high  price. 
All  wheat  growers  know  the  value  of  Bone  Meal,  either  drilled 
or  broad  casted.  We  effer  this  fertilizer  at  a price  lower 
than  we  have  been  able  to  do'  for  several  years. 

We  are  also  able  to  offer  16%  Acid  Phosphate  at  a price 
under  last  year’s  figures.  As  it  is  well  known,  16%  Acid 
Phosphate  is  frequently  used  in  combination  with  Bone  Meal 
for  a wheat  fertilizer,  and  on  account  of  favorable  prices  this 
fall  we  recommend  the  use  of  this  in  connection  with  our 
Steamed  Bone  Meal. 

If  a mixed  fertilizer  is  desired  for  wheat  we  call  attention 

to  our  Wheat  Fertilizer,  1.21-10-1,  or  our  Standard  Grain  and 
Grass  Fertilizer,  2-8% -2.  See  prices  in  this  Crop  Speciai, 
and  extended  description  in  our  Fall  Catalog.

“Best  Mixture  ' Ever  Used.” 

It  gives  me  much  pleasure  to  say  that  I have  used  your  No. 

7 Grass  Mixture  for  a numb  r of  years,  and  have  about  thirty 
acres  in  it  already.  It  is  the  best  mixture  I have  ever  used, 
and  I have  never  failed  to  have  a fine  hay  crop. — G.  B.  RIVES^
