be asstrred that he is getting fresh 

 seeds of high germinating quality, 

 but also that he is getting correct 

 information as to time to plant, va- 

 riety to plant, manner of planting, 

 etc., for no matter how good the seeds 

 may be, if the wrong information or 

 no information at all goes with the 

 seeds, even though the seeds themselves 

 may be of high quality, the effort and 

 money will probably be entirely wasted. 

 The answer to the question, "What is 

 the seedsman doing about service?" is 

 to give correct information when selling 

 his goods. If this is not being done, he 

 is a seedsman in name only. 



NAME NEW CLOVER "HUBAM." 



"Hubam" is the name given the 

 annual white sweet clover discovered 

 by Prof. H. D. Hughes, of Iowa State 

 College, Ames, la., a few years ago, 

 which has been reported as producing 

 remarkable results. The name was sug- 

 gested by J. W. Nicholson, manager of 

 the seed department of tlie Michigan 

 State Farm Bureau Federation, and in- 

 dicates the name of its discoverer and 

 Alabama, the state wliere it originated. 



In the spring of 1918 the Iowa State 

 College sent 100 seeds of the new annual 

 to each experiment station and fifty 

 seeds to each of the larger seed com- 

 panies in the United States. Excellent 

 use of these samples was made by several 

 of the recipients. The Michigan experi- 

 ment station harvested forty bushels of 

 seed last fall and next fall will probably 

 have considerably over 1,000. Several 

 seedsmen will have large acreages. 



Henry Field, of Shenandoah, la., sold 

 several hundred pounds of this seed last 

 year at $16 per pound, $960 per bushel. 

 This year he had about six acres, the 

 seed from which he sold at $5 a pound. 

 He netted over $2,500 an acre. The seed 

 is now selling at $10 per pound. 



Hubam clover, since becoming more 

 plentiful, is reported to have established 

 a new record growth, which is ten feet 

 during Inst season, a period of three and 

 one-half months.
