PROPOGATION FIELDS. 
I became interested in growing Grimm seed through Prof. W. M. Hayes 
in 1900. What Grimm fields there were then were largely in our neighbor- 
hood, Carver county, Minnesota, and I soon found that it would be neces- 
sary to have fields at other points in order to have seed each year. 
In 1906 I started seed fields in northern Montana from Minnesota seed 
that I had planted for me under a seed contract. I have gradually increased 
these fields and have taken no chance on my seed being mixed with other 
alfalfa. I have visited these fields twice' each summer and have often been 
present when same are threshed. If I am not there, I have a man present 
whose duty it is to seal the sacks. 
I now have seed fields in the Dakotas and Montana, and feel certain 
of having a supply each season. As I have a record of the seed used i.i 
planting each field, I can trace the history of each stock right back to some 
Carver county farmer that has true Grimm seed. Remember if the seed 
can not be traced to Carver county, Minnesota, it has no claim whatsoever 
to the name Grimm. 
I furnish each customer with an AFFIDAVIT certifying 
that the seed supplied is genuine Grimm Alfalfa.
