Dear Friend and Customer: 
The experience of last summer proves 
how severe damage from drought can be 
and how much human beings and live 
stock suffer as a result of it. Man cannot 
control weather and he cannot pass a law 
to prevent drought. A mixture of good 
and bad years is certain and mankind 
must make the best of it. Make your 
plans now to protect you in the future 
against being forced to sacrifice live stock 
in bad years, by planting drought resis¬ 
tant perennials like Alfalfa and wheat 
grass for hay and pasture, and drought 
resistant early maturing corn to fill extra 
corn cribs. And as a safety measure to 
insure the food supply of the farm family, one should locate the 
garden near ponds or near wells where it can be irrigated and 
thereby eliminate the hazards of drought to some extent. 
Many of the grass seeds. Alfalfa and Seed Corn are scarce this 
year. Our stocks are complete but we urge you not to delay buying 
this year as prices are likely to be higher as the season advances. 
The prices in this catalog are subject to market price changes after 
February 25th. Write me when you think of seeds. I will be ex¬ 
pecting to get your order early. 
Your friend, 
SAM H. BOBER.
