Don’t gamble with

profitable alfalfa patch 
by sowing unadapted 
seed. 
The introduction of 
the U. S. Verified Ori¬ 
gin Service referred to 
in greater detail below 
was not prompted by 
governmental whim or 
d e m and, but was 
sought by reputable 
seed houses not only 
for the protection of 
their farmer custom¬ 
ers, but also for their 
own protection as they 
found they were suffering from the unfair compe¬ 
tition of unscrupulous dealers substituting either 
southern grown or imported seed for South Dakota 
or other seed of northern origin, and these unscrup¬ 
ulous dealers could undersell. In fact their actions 
made it impossible for the honest dealer to compete 
with the others in price and make a legitimate 
profit, without which no business can survive and 
continue to give service. 
The Verified Origin Service is not an exclusive 
organization. Any seed dealer who is willing to 
comply with the simple requirements of the service 
may become a member. There is an old saying 
which goes like this, “A nod is as good as a wink 
to a blind horse” and if a seed dealer is not a mem¬ 
ber of the Verified Origin Service, echo answers 
why ? 
We Avail Ourselves of This 
Government Service for Vour 
Protection on All Disco 
Branded Alfalfa 
As an additional safeguard to our customers, 
through arrangement with the United States De¬ 
partment of Agriculture, under which our stock 
records are inspected and supervised by that de¬ 
partment, we are authorized to issue verified origin 
certificates for alfalfa seed sold by us, the locality 
of production of which has been verified by a Fed¬ 
eral Inspector. Disco alfalfa can be supplied with 
verified origin certificate. 
The unusually short crop, which will undoubtedly 
mean that there will not begin to be enough hardy 
northern grown seed to supply a normal demand, 
will constitute quite a strong temptation in some 
quarters to practice substitution, and we, therefore, 
recommend that buyers of alfalfa seed insist on 
Verified Origin seed. 
SAFEGUARDS 
In no business or profession in the world does the integ¬ 
rity and reliability of the vendor loom so large as in the 
seed business, and possibly no single variety of seed has 
been more substituted with resultant loss to the buyer than 
alfalfa. As a safeguard to our customers we adopted, some 
years ago, the plan of sealing our alfalfa with the Disco Seal. 
Market Prices on. Farm Seeds change frequent¬ 
ly. We aim to give our customers the benefit of 
any reduction in market values, and we suggest 
the advisability of writing for prices when you 
are ready to buy.

EVERT BAG OF 
DISCO ALFALFA SEALED 
The popularity and superiority of 
Disco Alfalfa has caused many un¬ 
scrupulous dealers to attempt to sub- 
titute. Instances have frequently 
come to the attention of our salesmen 
where intending planters have been told 
that they could be supplied with our seed, 
or just as good, practically the same, and 
so on. Discriminating buyers will insist 
on the Genuine Disco, to be obtained direct 
or from authorized Disco dealers. For 
your protection and our own, every bag of 
Disco alfalfa will have a seal bearing the Disco 
brand, our registered trademark. Look for this, 
without which none are genuine. 
INOCULATION 
When sowing alfalfa, sweet clover, or any other 
legume for that matter, be sure and use a bacteria 
which will help you get a stronger stand than you 
would otherwise obtain. Inoculation has proven 
time and again to be a decided help in obtaining not 
only a stronger stand, but also an increased yield. 
The leading experiment stations use and recommend 
an inoculation. 
Below we give you the prices on Nitragin. For
