all. It is made up from our small odds and ends of seed lots that J|

can’t be sold as top or select grade seed. The seed is of choice qual • 
and all right in every way for general seeding purposes. It is free ff' r 
noxious weeds, though it may have some discolored seed in it, but wi&

than any other grade seed you can buy and is a money saving, money 
making investment for seeding your hay land or pasture.

grows more and more popular. Many after planting a hundred pounds 
or so as a t-ial have had such wonderful success with it they reorder 500 
to 600 pounds more instead of making tne same investment of money 
on a much smaller amount of higher quality named seed. It is truly a 
real value for the money, and should sell at a much higher price. Buy 
all you can now while we can still supply you at these low prices. Sow 
about 15 pounds to the acre for best results.

H ANSEN PROSO—The Grain That Saved the Farmers! 
In the latter part of June and first of July, 1933, when thousands 
of acres of farmers' grain was completely burned up by the extreme 
heat and dry weather, Proso, the Grain Wonder, saved the day! It was 
introduced from the dryland steppes of Siberia where the annual rain¬ 
fall is about 8 inches or less, and conditions are worse than here, even 
in our driest and hottest years. 
Thousands of farmers sowed this grain, many as late as August 1st, 
and yet .in spite of heat and drought, harvested a crop that paid out. In 
many cases the only crop, for their winter feed and forage. For when 
Hansen Proso is cut slightly green it still matures the seed in the shock 
and after threshing leaves excellent hay. 
Proso yields as high as 60 bushels per acre and will mature in 60 
days. It makes a splendid feed for all kinds of live stock and chickens. 
Many farmers claim it will fatten hogs or cattle better than corn and 
Tall White Blossom Sweet Clover 
that chickens lay better when fed Proso than any other grain. Its 
forage in any stage of growth or as a hay is not at any time poisonous 
like cane. 
Due to the biggest demand in history of this grain for seeding pur¬ 
poses last year, and because in so many places it was practically the 
only feed that was harvested, the seed this year is very scarce. If you 
want some and thus be assured that there will not be a repetition of last 
year with grain crop failure,—order some Hansen Proso now! Plant at 
least a portion of your fields to Hansen Proso and be sure of one real 
crop! Sow 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. 
Prices: 1 lb. 35c Prepaid; By Express or Freight Collect: 10 lbs. 
$1; 25 lbs. $1.65; 100 lbs. $3.25; 500 lbs. $15; 1,000 lbs.

Hansen White Seed Alfalfa 
The newest idea in hardy alfalfas in-as-much as this variety has white 
flowers and white seeds, so you can tell it at a glance,—therefore it 
requires no registration. Supply as yet very scarce and the seed will 
command a good price for some years. Get a start of it now and be 
ready to cash in when the big demand comes. For it seems destined to 
become one of the leading of hardy alfalfas,—as hardy as Cossack and 
a bigger producer. 10 Plants 50c; 25 Plants 75c; 100 Plants $2.50, 
Prices per 100 lbs.: Our Top Grade $5; Our 2nd Grade $4. 
Permanent Pasture Mixture 
Seed especially blended for seeding down those “allotment acres” or 
re-seeding a worn out pasture. Consists of a large portion of alfalfa 
with other hardy pasture crops such as sweet clover, timothy, medium 
red, alsike, blue grass, red top, etc. which make up a well balanced 
permanent pasture. For best results seed about 15 to 18 lbs. per acre. 
For a good pasture at low cost this blend is a real buy for the money!
