Increased Yields at Low Cost on Same Acreage Solves Your Problems 
Clover Mixture—A 
We have found from experience that a clover 
mixture makes a better fertilizer to turn under 
than any other clover crop. Will also produce more 
pasture or hay. We ourselves never sow a single 
clover, always using this mixture unless we want 
to use it for pasture alone then we use the pasture 
mixture, but we find for fall pasture clover mix¬ 
ture is even better than the pasture mixture. 
We can also sell you this clover mixture at a 
lower price than we can the straight clovers, as 
often during the season we are able to buy mixed 
clover such as sweet clover and red clover at a 
much better price than if it was straight varieties. 
This is strictly a three story crop. The Lespedeza 
and Alsike grows thick and close to the ground. 
Red clover grown a little higher above the alsike 
Three Story Crop 
and the sweet clover grows above the red clover 
making a good three story crop. In our clover 
mixture we now use ten pounds to a bushel of Illi¬ 
nois grown Korean Lespedeza. While this does 
not make a big growth it is a very hardy plant. 
Will stand heat and drought better than any other 
legume and comes in late in the fall. 
We sell this mixture 60 pounds to the bushel. It 
consists of the following: 
15 lbs. Red Clover 
10 lbs. Alsike 
15 lbs. Sweet Clover 
10 lbs. Alfalfa 
10 lbs. Korean Lespedeza 
Approximate price subject to change $15.00 bu.

TIMOTHY 
Timothy is very cheap this 
year and more of it should be 
used. While it is not much of 
a fertilizer it is a good thing 
to sow a small amount (2 or 
3 quarts per acre) in with the 
other seeds which will hold up 
clover, keep it from lodging, 
falling down and molding. 
1937 crop of timothy one of 
the best quality crops ever 
produced clean, plump berries 
and very high germination. A 
little timothy in clover or al¬ 
falfa meadow or pasture often¬ 
times prevents bloat in cattle. 
For price see yellow sheet en¬ 
closed. 
A picture taken in Maryland which shows some timbered country and 
the old stake and rail fence. These meadows, mostly timothy, many of 
them second crop, came up showing weeds of many kinds. 
ALFALFA 
(Truly the Mortgage Lifter) 
Ten acres of good alfalfa will pay better on the farm then anything else you can grow. Alfalfa is 
not hard to grow if you put it in as it should be put in. There is no use in trying to grow alfalfa 
if you do not haye a good sweet soil. Better save your money 
than waste it by trying to produce alfalfa on land not adapted 
for the production of alfalfa. This year we had one of the small¬ 
est alfalfa seed crops in the northwest for many years. Last year 
was short but this year practically nothing in Montana, Dakota's 
and Wyoming, where we usually buy most of our alfalfa seed. 
The crop in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma was also very 
short, although there was a good crop in New Mexico, Arizona, 
Texas and southern California, seed which is not adapted to our 
section and which we do not offer for sale. We purchased most 
of our alfalfa seed this year from Idaho where the alfalfa crop 
was a fair yield and good quality. 
Buy Only Verified Origin Seed 
With a shortage of northwestern alfalfa and a surplus of south¬ 
western seed it is very essential to buy only verified origin seed. 
Every bag of our seed is verified origin but we use verified tags 
only on the best grades which is sealed and tagged. 
OKLAHOMA ALFALFA 
A good common alfalfa at a low price which can be used where 
you want a stand only two or three years. Many use alfalfa now 
in a crop rotation and here is where Oklahoma comes in to good 
advantage. For price see yellow price list enclosed. 
KANSAS ALFALFA 
Kansas grown alfalfa does well over the entire corn belt, in fact 
we have seen in state experiment plots where fields have stood 
over for several years, Kansas showing up exceptionally good. We 
found this to be true as far north as the Wisconsin Agriculture 
station at Madison. The demand for Kansas alfalfa has grown 
until it now commands a price almost equal to northwestern grown seed. 
IIARDY NORTHWESTERN ALFALFA 
This is our biggest seller and where a good hardy alfalfa is required does well. Most of our seed this 
year came from a section in northwestern Nebraska which is free of dodder and noxious weeds. Some 
of our northwestern comes from Idaho, South Dakota and Utah. 
NORTHWESTERN GRIMM 
This alfalfa comes from the same sections as the hardy northwestern common but from fields seeded 
to Affadavit Grimm, many of them fifteen to twenty years ago. Very good and moderately priced. 
IDAHO GRIMM 
Grown in a high altitude where cold is much more severe then in our corn belt section. Much of it 
in the same latitude as in Montana where we formerly bought most of our alfalfa but this year al¬ 
most a failure. 
MONTANA GRIMM 
We have only a limited supply of Montana grown Grimm, very fine quality, clean, free of weeds and 
very hardy. 
IDAHO BLUE TAG CERTIFIED GRIMM 
The best of the certified crop. In order to be certified must be 99:50 or better pure, plump, free of 
noxious weeds and of good color. Prices on all alfalfa on yellow price sheet enclosed.
