ALFALFA ExCELS AS
A BUILDER OF SOILS
Adds Annually More Than Twice
as Much Nitrogen to Land
as Average Red Clover.

As soil builder, it is estimated
that an acre OF alfalfa adds annually
more than twice as much nitrogen
to the land as the average acre OF
red clover. This phase of alfalfa
growing will not be overlooked, nor
its importance underestimated by
those who realize the need of giving
much greater attention to maintaining
the fertility of soils.
Not only does this plant add great.
