Alfalfa Is the Mortgage Lifter 
9 
Most Wilt Resistant 
After three years of wilt disease Cossack showed 14 plants to square 
yard. Grimm 7. 
After 4 years, Cossack showed 8 plants to square yard, Grimm 3. 
After 5 years, Cossack 4 while Grimm only showed one plant to 2 
square yards. 
As you will note, Cossack proved to be one of the best varieties of al¬ 
falfa, being very hardy, wilt resistant and a high yielder of hay. We our¬ 
selves use Cossack almost exclusively, except the Kansas for short rota¬ 
tion. We have found in buying alfalfa from Montana and Wyoming the 
same ranchers who had both Grimm and Cossack, that the Cossack made 
seed under adverse conditions where the Grimm failed. 
North Dakota-Miimesota Grimm Alfalfa 
The crop of Montana and Idaho State Sealed Grimm was almost a failure 
and we have none to offer; however, there was a small amount produced, but 
the price is so high that it will pay you better to buy some other good 
alfalfa. We have some very fine Dakota-Minnesota Grimm which runs about 
50% from each of these two states, Verified, Sealed 
bags, contains 1% crop seed, mostly red and sweet 
clover. For price see price list. 
Kansas Grimm 
Northwestern Grimm 
This is a very hardy alfalfa, one which will last 
for several years. Has all the characteristics of 
any other Grimm and at a lower price. 
Cossack Alfalfa Best 
This is our best selling Grimm. Comes from 
South Dakota, and Northern Nebraska. Seed from 
this section is very hardy, well adapted to the corn 
belt, free of noxious weed seeds and seed which 
we can make you an attractive price. For prices, 
see colored price list enclosed.

trueness to variety. Shows a very high purity.

certification tag. 
Prices on all alfalfa on price list enclosed. Be 
sure to inoculate with Kelly’s Wet Inoculator. 
Black Hill Dakota No. 12 
The crop is very short and if you expect to get 
any genuine Dakota No. 12 better place your order 
at once. We have handled this alfalfa seed for a 
good many years and never had enough Dakota No. 
12 to carry us through the season. South Dakota 
produced very little alfalfa seed of any kind this 
year. We do have a small amount of Dakota 12 
grown across the Missouri River in the bottoms of 
Nebraska which is farther north than the northern 
part of Illinois, all in sealed bushel bags, verified 
origin. For price, see price list. 
Hardy Northwestern 
This is our biggest seller both in common and 
grimm. Much of the seed offered as northwestern 
comes from Utah which is in the same latitude as 
Kansas and which we do not consider as good as 
Kansas grown seed. Most people have the idea that 
Utah is a northern state but if you will get your 
Kansas 
Genuine Kansas grown alfalfa is a good variety 
to sow. It is not only hardy but produces a good 
tonnage of hay. Kansas verified origin seed is 
map you will find southern Utah and southern Kan¬ 
sas are in exactly the same latitude. A good share 
of our northwestern alfalfa comes from northern 
Nebraska which is in about the same latitude as 
northern Illinois and well adapted to the entire 
State of Illinois. For price, see price list. 
Alfalfa 
classed as good common alfalfa, is as a rule as free 
of weed seeds as any grown in the United States. 
For price, see price list enclosed. 
Lower Priced Alfalfa 
In grading alfalfa we get six different grades. 
This seed is all cleaned over our gravity mill which 
eliminates all noxious weed seeds and will show 
a good purity test but may contain some smaller 
grains and a few brown berries. If you intend to 
sow alfalfa instead of red clover or sweet clover 
for crop rotation this is an exceptional buy and 
well worth the money. We offer as follows, subject 
to market changes and stock on hand, which is 
limited.

Inoculate All 
With the price of alfalfa and other seeds at what 
they are today it will pay more than ever to inocu¬ 
late your seed. Some farmers will pay $20.00 a 
bushel for alfalfa seed and then hesitate to pay 30c 
for inoculation which is very essential for success¬ 
ful growing of alfalfa. Inoculation increases the 
protein content of hay as much as 20% at a very 
Alfalfa Seed 
small cost. Protein is the highest price food ele¬ 
ment the farmer has to buy. In addition to this, 
inoculated seed builds up land much better. Inocu¬ 
lation supplies nitrogen bacteria which gets the 
nitrogen from the air and stores it in the roots 
of the plant.
