WORLD SHORTAGE OF GRAIN 
Unfavorable seasons have reduced world supplies of grain. Famine is threatened in 
some countries. Grain prices are highest for several years. Only the most productive seed 
should be sown. Wood’s Seed grains are grown from the most productive pedigreed 
strains, triple cleaned to eliminate all noxious weed seed, and tested to insure high ger¬ 
mination, and will generally yield to *4 more than ordinary seed. Proper seed treat¬ 
ment, to prevent disease, increased yields 20%. We treat all our seed grains with New Im¬ 
proved Ceresan at no extra cost. r ' ~ " ■ «*» 
Buy Your Seed Requirements Early 
Drought in the West has caused a very acute shortage of practically all grasses and clovers, 
causing advancing prices with shortages in many items. Owing to scarcity of seed stocks we 
do not see any possibility of lower prices this fall or next spring, and consequently we strongly 
urge our customers to buy their seed requirements as early as possible. 
Legumes, such as Hairy Vetch, Austrian Winter Peas and Crimson Clover are averaging 
from 33 1/3% to 60% of normal in the United States, with importation almost nil. We antici¬ 
pate exhaustion of stocks and higher prices this fall 
Your Fall and Winter Garden 
Plant now beans and peas, kale, kohl rabi, lettuce, parsley, radish and spinach for a fall 
crop; onions seeds to make plants to set out late, beets and carrots for use next winter; of 
course you must have collards, turnips and rutabaga. All these seeds should be planted now. 
NEXT MONTH plant endive, leek, mustard and all the seeds above mentioned except beans, 
peas, beets and carrot.
