107 Acres Alfalfa on Farm of Swartz Bros., Waukesha County, Wis., That Yielded 535 Tons of Splendid Hay. 
OLDS’ FANCY ALFALFA SEED 
Alfalfa is again the leader in the entire list of Agricultural Seeds. Because of its outstanding per¬ 
formance as the most valuable of all hay crops, farmers will sow more the coming spring than ever before. 
Prof. Graber of the Wisconsin College of Agriculture estimates that Wisconsin now has 650,000 acres 
in Alfalfa as against 500,000 acres a year ago. He says Alfalfa has fully proven itself and has made itself 
an economic necessity to Wisconsin agriculture. Those who had Alfalfa fields the past season now have 
an abundance of feed in their barns, even in the drouth-stricken regions. 
THE PRICE OUTLOOK. Alfalfa prices at present are lower this year than last as the crop was somewhat 
larger. However the available supply is still below normal of Alfalfa as well as of all the Clovers and Timothy and 
prices are likely to advance before spring. This is what the U. S. Government report says under date of Nov. 6th: 
“Production of Red Clover, Alsike Clover and Sweet Clover seed in 1933 was much smaller than usual, and the 
fairly large production of Alfalfa seed is offset by the smallest carry-over of this seed in recent years. Supplies of 
these seeds are below normal.’’ 
VERIFIED ORIGIN and STATE CERTIFIED. All the Alfalfa seed we send out this year will be either “Veri¬ 
fied Origin Seed’’ or “State Sealed and Certified.’’ “Verified Origin” means that a U. S. Government tag will ap¬ 
pear on every bag verifying the statement as to the locality where the seed was grown. 
We handle but one grade of each of the Common Alfalfas, the best, or “Old Gold Brand” quality. 
HARDY DAKOTA NO. 12 ALFALFA. 
'Hardy Dakota is a leader with us in Common Alfalfa. We have a splendid large stock of beautiful pure seed, all 
U. S. Verified Origin Seed, from the Black Hills region of western South Dakota. It is all dry land seed. The un¬ 
usual hardiness of our Black Hills Dakota No. 12 seed is no doubt largely due to the fact that the seed contains a lot 
of Grimm seed. Most of the farmers growing this seed had Grimm seed in the early days but kept no records; 
so it cannot be sold as Grimm, but it is no doubt largely Grimm.
