BABY CHICKS 
We begin shipping baby chicks about January 25th of 
each year. You will find them listed with prices on 
inside front cover. 
For 25 years we have mailed our Annual Catalogue to County 
Agents, Home Demonstration Agents and Agricultural Teachers: 
The Agricultural Teachers write us that they depend on these 
books to furnish quick information on seeds, how and when to 
plant and the quantity. We have also furnished samples of seed 
to these teachers for instructions to their classes. We have tried 
to improve this Annual Catalogue each year to give customers 
more information. 
Our 1938 Catalogue contains the following new information 
which we hope will prove interesting and to be a yearly feature. 
That is a Calendar and an Almanac. We have gone to the 
expense of putting a string in the upper left hand corner and 
are asking you to hang this Catalogue on a convenient nail for 
reference during 1938. 
This strawboard box of samples (see cut at left) contains 24 
bottles or 24 samples of Field Seeds, as follows: 
Alfalfa 
Red Clover

The box measures 14 inches long, 4 inches high and 9V2 inches 
across; it can be opened easily by untying one cord and can be 
displayed on any table or desk, can also be closed and by tying 
this one cord carried anywhere without danger of breaking by 
using ordinary care. This case was assembled with the thought 
in mind of furnishing to those who wanted such an outfit at 
the lowest cost. The price is less than the cost of the seed and 
packing. We postpay this outfit for a $1.00 bill. 
TREATING EQUIPMENT 
The only treating equipment required for small quantities of 
seed is a discarded 40-quart milk can, an old butter-churn or 
similar container. Larger quantities can be treated in a rotary 
drum such as illustrated below. 
See page 78 for Du Bay Disinfectant. 
This effective duster can be made from a 30-gallon oil drum 
at a cost of $2 to $5. Write for free Blue Print.
