ALFALFA LICKS DROUGHT 
Maintains Itself as Corn Belt’s Best Hay Crop 
Like a friend who sticks.-.by ,yo,u in time of trouble, alfalfa 
is more appreciated this year than ever in its history in the 
corn belt. Alfalfa has stood the test of the worst drought in 
history, and is now firmly established as hay crop No. 1. 
With clover and timothy virtually a complete failure, this 
mighty legume whose roots travel far down in search of mois¬ 
ture remained green and growing throtigh the hottest and 
driest weather and yielded a good crop of one of the richest 
hays known. Farmers with alfalfa hay are not sitffering from 
any feed shortage this season. 
Our Black Hills Hardy Alfalfa seed produced on the north¬ 
ern foothills of the Black Hills on dry land 3,000 to 4,500 
feet above sea level, and subjected to severe weather conditions, 
will produce hardy plants and give best results. It is cleaned, 
.sacked and sealed in branded bags at our cleaning plant and 
warehouses at Newell, S. D., and can always be identified by 
the Trade-Mark shown on the right, which is your assurance 
of hardiness, yileding ability and long life.
