Real Seed Economy Consists Of Buying Seed That Can Be Depended On To Produce a Maximum Crop. 
Anything Inferior is Rank Waste. MICHELS’ Quality Has Been Accepted Standard For a Quarter Century 
Play Safe 
Authorities caution farmers that it is a serious waste to sow imported 
and southern grown strains of red clover and alfalfa. With adapted seed 
in shorter supply than ever, the temptation for unscrupulous dealers to 
mislead farmers will be greater than ever. Frauds perpetrated on farm¬ 
ers a year ago were scandalous and conditions again make it extremely 
likely that the unwary will get "skinned” again. Your best protection is 
to depend on a seedsman who has never betrayed you. Michels' record 
is an open book. 
Clovers 
MEDIUM RED CLOVER. Our 
home grown red clover crop was 
exceedingly short. Instead of hav¬ 
ing carloads of surplus as usual, 
we hove barely enough to cover 
our retail requirements. Wiscon¬ 
sin clover is unexcelled by any 
in adoptability to northern condi¬ 
tions. We do not handle imported 
seed. _Bushel $24.60 
ALSIKE. Excellent hay, better 
adapted to low ground, seldom 
winterkills, requires less seed per 
acre. 
Fancy Alsike, bushel-$22.80 
Standard Alsike, bushel-- -$21.60 
TIMOTHY. Bright, well cleaned 
seed. Timothy is plentiful and 
cheap, and should be used liber¬ 
ally in all mixtures. Bushel, $2.40

Alfalfa 
The crop of adapted seed is one 
of the shortest on record. Mon¬ 
tana, Dakota, and other states 
which produce hardy seeds, were 
about complete failures. South¬ 
western seed is plentiful, but it 
will not survive our severe cli¬ 
mate. Fortunately, there was a 
'arge production in eastern Wis¬ 
consin and, at this writing, we 
have a large stock. 
WISCONSIN ALFALFA. Excep¬ 
tionally fine quality, bright, 
plump, free of weeds. The winter 
a year ago was very severe. All 
of the weaker alfalfa killed out 
and only the best fields survived 
to produce seed in 1937. There¬ 
fore, we can feel confident that the 
Wisconsin grown alfalfa we have 
is on exceptionally hardy seed. 
It is sold in state sealed bushel 
bags.

Soy Beans 
Soy beans have won many warm friends these trying years. They make 
a heavy yield of hay which feeders find equal to alfalfa. If your clover 
crop is short, do not hesitate to plant a good acreage of soy beans. Soy 
beans are cheap this year. 
MUKDEN. A new bean from the 
Iowa Experiment Station. Prof. 
(Soy Bean) Briggs recommended 
'them to us and furnished us seed 
for our variety trial plots in 1937. 
Mukden was head and shoulders 
above anything else. They yield¬ 
ed 8067 pounds of hay per acre 
against 6245 for the next best va¬ 
riety. They were more leafy and 
stood up well. If you are going to 
plant soy beans, by all means put 
in Mukden._Bushel, $1.90

Inoculation 
Inoculation pays big dividends in increasing yields of legumes, 
and enriching the soil. All experiment stations urge the use of it on 
clovers, afl al f a, soy beans, etc. Low in cost. Easy to apply. Two of 
the best known cultures. State for what crop.

Seed Grains 
Good Seed Grains are exceedingly scarce. Michaels' have always 
been very careful of the seed grains they sell, and have been just as mind¬ 
ful of your interests this year as in the past. We secure our foundation 
stocks direct from the plant breeders at the Experiment Stations and have 
them raised for us by careful growers. Our unexcelled cleaning machin¬ 
ery is used diligently to put these pedigree stocks in the best pos¬ 
sible shape. 
Oats 
Barley 
GOPHER. A heavy yielding, 
early maturing variety developed 
by the Minnesota Experiment Sta¬ 
tion. We bought a carload of this 
variety a year ago to relieve the 
extreme shortage of good oats, 
and they made such a remark¬ 
ably fine crop that we have de¬ 
cided to offer them regularly. As 
early as Kherson, they have 
somewhat stronger straw; are 
white in color; very heavy, and 
beautiful in appearance. We 
are convinced that they are the 
best oat yet developed for heavy 
land in good condition. State 
certified. 
Bushel, 70 c; 10 bushels, 65 c. 
YELLOW KHERSON. (Wis. No. 
7) Extra early, a good yielder and 
a sure cropper. Adapted to heavy 
soils. 
Bushel, 70c. 10 bushels at 65c. 
SPOONER OATS. For light soils 
where lodging is not a problem.
