The Greatest Seed Shortage We Ever Had 
Hay and Pasture Mixture 
For a Quick Pasture and a Permanent Pasture 
I’ve never had so many letters asking what to do about 
pastures that have been about half killed out by the 
drouth. Most folks want to save their pastures instead 
of plowing them up and want a seeding that v/ill come 
quick in the Spring and keep on coming all Summer. 
The answer to that problem is My HAY and PASTURE 
MIXTURE. It is a special mix of grasses and legumes. 
There are 6 of the best grasses in this mixture, some that 
will come quick in the Spring and others that root more 
slowly and come in heavy later on. There are 6 legumes 
or clovers, with some that start faster than others. 
With 50% legumes or clovers and 50% best known 
grasses, this Hay and Pasture Mixture will give you a 
proper balance, for an old season crop. 
My price on this special quick-growing, permanent 
HAY and PASTURE MIXTURE is very low. I would 
certainly advise you to order it early. Get it right now 
and sow it on the frozen ground. 
To Re-New Your Old Pasture 
On a pasture that has been thinned by the drouth, plant 
12 lbs. to the acre and get it out on the ground very early, 
in February if possible. Let the freeze and thaw work the 
seed in for an early start. 
You will get quick growth to beat the weeds and to 
give you some worthwhile pasture by June 1st. If you 
don’t over-pasture it, you should have a heavy, rank 
growth by Mid-summer and a fine lot of pasture for Fall, 
too. You should of course, always go a little easy on a 
new seeding, don’t pasture the life out of it. 
On New Ground and With Small Grain 
Plant 15 lbs. to the acre without a nurse crop, earlier 
the better, and you should have good pasture in June. 
Plant 15 lbs. to the acre with your small grains in the 
Spring. You can’t expect much Mid-Summer pasture but 
you should have good pasture by Fall and a permanent 
crop from then on. 
SEED POTATOES 
We always have plenty of the finest quality of Northern Grown Seed 
Potatoes in season. Varieties—Red River, Ohio, Irish Cobbler, Neb¬ 
raska Triumph and others. 
Prices:—It is impossible to name prices definitely at this time but 
you should be safe in sending $1.50 per bu., as that will be fairly 
close, and we can refund you or bill you the difference if any. 
SEED SWEET POTATOES 
We will have seed sweet potatoes for bedding—Yellow Jerseys and 
Nancy Hall, also plants of the same. 
The potatoes will probably sell about the same as the Irish potatoes 
per bu., and the plants probably from about $4.00 per 1,000 to 7oc 
per hundred, postpaid, according to quantity. Or write for prices. 
THE “NEW DEAL” GOV’T. POTATO (Katahdin) 
This is the sensational new main crop potato recently brought out 
by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture as an ideal main crop potato. Very 
large, pure white, smooth, round oblong, extremely vigorous, heavy 
yielder, high quality, and disease resistant. Certified seed, northern 
grown, $1.00 per Pk. (Postage extra if mailed.) 
You may not like to hear any more about last year’s 
drouth. Goodness knows, we were all sick of it and most 
of us are sick of hearing about it. But, after all, we’ve 
just got to talk about it when it is so close to our bread 
and butter. 
That drouth not only cut down the feed supplies but it 
played hob with seed production. The worst of the drouth 
hit right here in the Mid-Western States, right here in the 
heart of the grazing and hay production country. 
I don’t have to paint that picture for you. You know 
the situation. Government bulletins tell of tremendous 
shortages of seed. You can look at the pastures in your 
own neighborhood and see the great need of seed that 
is sure to show up this Spring. The farm country needs 
more seed than has been needed for years and there is 
less seed available than there has been for years. 
We’ve got to have pasture and hay, no argument about 
that. The question is, have you got enough for 1935? 
How about 1936? 
The sooner you answer those questions the better off 
you’ll be. Don’t be a “last minute shopper” this year. 
This is a year to get yours while the gettin’s good. Order 
your seed early, earlier than you ever have before. Right 
now isn’t a bit too soon. 
I have the seed, as nice a lot of seed as I ever sold. 
I have a good supply and I have it at prices that let me 
sell it to you at mighty attractive prices. When I have 
to go out on the market and get more, goodness only 
knows what the shortage will have done to the prices. 
They are higher by a whole lot than they were only a 
few weeks ago. 
So, it’s up to you. I’m sure you will be sorry if you 
don’t get busy and get your seed ordered right away. My 
prices are fair and reasonable, the quality is backed by 
the lifetime I’ve spent in this business. But, it has to be 
“first come first served” and I don’t think it will pay 
you to be at the back end of the line.

Fulghum Oats 
The Oats that stood the test of drouth and hot weather. Don’t sow 
light, run out Oats. Get good seed now while our limited supply 
lasts. Sow 2 to 2% bushels per acre in February or March and sow 
as early as you can. 
Red Clover 
Like all other clovers Red Clover seed is short and so is Mammoth 
Red and Alsike Clovers. The government says the shortest crop on 
record. If you are going to seed any of these old “standby” types 
order your seed now. At least book your seed on my 25% down 
payment plan so we can cover your needs. A lot of folks are going 
to find the good seed all gone if they wait till the day they are ready 
to sow.
