HENRY FIELD SEED COMPANY 
A COMPLETE STOCK OF 
• Grown Right 
Hardy, adapted, northern grown seed. 
Selected from only the best growers. 
• Cleaned Right 
Carefully chosen for freedom from 
weeds and dirt, then, fanned and 
screened to the highest purity. 
• Priced Right 
"Live and let live" is what I've always 
said. I get the best seed that money 
can buy, clean it right, and then price 
it to move quick. I'd rather take a 
small profit, sell the seed and take 
the money to buy more seed for my 
friends, than to sell a small amount 
at a big price. Order as soon as you 
can from the enclosed price list and 
you will save money.

Alfalfa 
(60 lbs. per bu. Sow 15 lbs. per Acre.) 
It doesn’t take a big acreage of alfalfa 
to make plenty of hay for the whole farm 
—and you can’t afford to be without 
enough to insure plenty of feed and hay 
when the other crops fail. 
Alfalfa can’t be beat for feed—it gives 
more tonnage and better quality feed than any other 
one crop you could raise—and it’s one of the best soil¬ 
building legumes known. Everyone should have some 
alfalfa acreage. 
Not every variety will do in your locality, but my 
catalog goes far and wide, so I list a big selection. 
Some are hardier than others—the Grimm, Dakota 
No. 12, and Cossack, but where your climate isn’t so 
severe, you can use the other alfalfas to advantage. 
LOADING ALFALFA HAY 
With as many as four cuttings a year, 
a feeding value equal to bran, and its 
ability to withstand drought, alfalfa is 
way out ahead of all the hay crops. 
Seed Prices Going Up! 
W ITH better crops, better prices, more money, and the gov- 
eminent program to increase grass and legume acreage, 
I look for the biggest "grass and clover seed business" in years. 
On account of the big crop of Timothy, Red Top, Blue Grass 
and some other grasses, prices have fallen below the cost of 
production. On many seeds, these prices are so low, there is 
only one direction for them to go—up!! Low prices cut down 
the next year's production and stimulate consumption, so I look 
for higher prices on most field seeds for this spring and still 
higher for next year, so This is the year to sow. 
Just think! Timothy really was a whale of a crop. But look 
where the price has gone—to only about 15% of last year's 
price. Not off only 15%, but off 85%! So it's really down as 
low as it can go, now. And take our old stand-by—Red Clover. 
Last year it was a short crop and sold for around $15 to $16 
per bushel. Farmers wouldn't pay the price and it moved slow. 
Some dealers got stuck with high priced seed. This year, with 
even a smaller crop of Red Clover, dealers have been afraid 
to buy, so the price has been slow in taking the advance. So, 
for immediate sale, I can offer Red Clover away under last 
year's prices. 
Red Clover is short. First come, gets it. 
I could go on all day giving examples like this, but I'll cut short 
and say, My field seeds are at rock-bottom prices right now. 
I have been able to pick the cream of the crop for my customers. 
That's a combination you can't beat. Top quality. Rock bottom 
price. 
Buy now. They say opportunity knocks but once. Anyway, 
this opportunity won't be knocking at your door if you wait 
till seeding time. 
HENRY FIELD.

us how many acres you have to plant, and what kind 
of land it is. and we’ll be glad to give you our best 
advice on the variety to use. Any alfalfa that you

• Clovers 
Clovers are planted in large amounts by the middle- 
western farmer. For building up the soil and giving 
large quantities of hay, they can’t be beat. For their 
fine pasture, good-quality hay, and excellent soil im¬ 
proving qualities, they should be included in every 
crop rotation. 
This year, with a fair sized crop of White 
Blossom Sweet Clover, the price is down the 
lowest it has been in years. It’s down to 
where the only way for the price to go, is up. 
But with RED CLOVER, it’s another 
story. Red Clover IS scarce and it’s 
only because dealers have been afraid 
to buy it, that the price has stayed 
down this long. But Red Clover will 
be the first to go up and it will stay up, 
so RIGHT NOW is the time to buy. 
And the same is true of YELLOW 
BLOSSOM, GRUNDY COUNTY, and 
ALSIKE—all short and all on their way 
up.

innoculation with your Clover
