Alfalfa Seed at Lowest Prices 
Ever Known 
Not on account of large crop but because farmers needed money badly and had to 
sell and no buyers with money to buy and pay cash for the seed. Most of the large 
seed houses have been badly crippled financially in the past four years by steadily de¬ 
clining prices, especially in 1930 when red clover went down from $15.00 to $7.00. 
Alfalfa seed from $15.00 to $10.00 bushels and less. We made a trip out into the 
Northwest at threshing time and bought several car loads of good alfalfa and sweet 
clover at very low prices, most of it direct from the ranchers. 
Alfalfa, the Most Profitable Crop to Grow 
You will notice from this chart that alfalfa is equal to wheat bran in protein content 
especially when the seed has been well inoculated. Inoculation increases the protein 
content as much as 20%. Alfalfa is not hard to grow if properly seeded. First test 
your soil. No use to waste alfalfa or sweet clover seed on sour acid soil. Apply required 
amount of lime at least 30 days before seeding. Sow seed adapted to your section. Too 
many are not careful enough in this respect. The southwest is the largest alfalfa seed 
producing section of the U. S. Oklahoma, Texas, 
New Mexico, Arizona and southern California pro¬ 
duce enormous quantities of alfalfa seed none of 
which are adapted to our section. Seed from these 
sections are never advertised or sold as southern 
seed but in some mysterious way it is sold to 
someone and the majority of it is shipped north, 
and if you are not very careful you are very likely 
to get some of this seed. 
What Varieties Best to Plant 
If you expect the field to stand for several years, 
sow Grimm, Cossack or Dakota 12. If used for 
crop rotation or to stand only two or three years 
sow the Northwestern or North Kansas seed.
