Corn-Belt Alfalfa Is Used in Every State in the Nation 
Com-Belt Alfalfa is a “registered’ 
trade mark. It is our name for seed 
that we consider well adapted to the 
section that is shaded on this map. This 
Corn-Belt seed is produced in the northern 
and western part of this section and even 
further west and north. It contains no un¬ 
adapted seed and is stock of a hardy char¬ 
acter. All “Corn-Belt” Alfalfa qualifies as 
to origin for benefit payments in the agri¬ 
cultural conservation program. Save money 
and get a dependable seed by specifying 
Corn-Belt Alfalfa. 
Thoroughly Dependable 
It is not necessary to 
specify Montana or Dakota 
to get hardy seed. Experi¬ 
ments have proven that 
seed such as our Com-Belt 
is entirely satisfactory. It 
is hardy and equal or bet¬ 
ter in production. Specify 
Corn-Belt. Get adapted 
seed without paying pre¬ 
mium prices. See page 40.

authentic reports 
from STATE EXPERIMENTS 
We have verified the reports of our cus¬ 
tomers on Corn-Belt Alfalfa by checking 
reports from various state authorities. 
The information gained from these 
sources shows the performance of Corn- 
Belt type seed in a convincing manner. 
From Nebraska eastward through Iowa, Illinois, 
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. 
Northward through New York, Michigan, Wiscon¬ 
sin, Minnesota and South Dakota we find excellent 
reports on the yielding qualities of this seed. 
Wisconsin specifically reports that Nebraska com¬ 
mon has done as well as any common. It is recom¬ 
mended that if winter killing is severe that Grimm 
be selected but if common Alfalfa is used this stock 
is considered very satisfactory. 
Southern states show the same superior qualities 
for this Corn-Belt Alfalfa. Its adaptability is even 
more wide spread than indicated by the map on this 
page. We have simply shown on this map the 
section to which we consider our Corn-Belt A1-, 
falfa well adapted. To every customer in this 
section we say, “Save money and get a dependable 
kind of seed by specifying Corn-Belt Alfalfa.

Berry’s Corn-Belt Alfalfa comes in four regular 
grades of common. These grades are separated' 
largely according to color and size of berries. Read 
page 7. There are also special lots of Corn-Belt 
designated by names such as “Honest John,” etc. 
We ‘also have the Corn-Belt Grimm such as odr 
World Brand on the back cover and Lots Bonafjde 
and Bed Rock. We have found our Corn-Belt Al¬ 
falfa hardy and heavy in production. See money

INOCULATE ALFALA SEED 
Better Stands—Heavier Growth 
Alfalfa gathers nitrogen from the air. That is 
why it builds up soils and contains so much pro¬ 
tein. But it can do this only when the plant’s roots 
have certain bacteria working in them. You can 
get these bacteria by inoculating your .seed. These 
bacteria can thus enter the roots and form nodules 
as soon as the seed sprouts. Then your plants 
will be healthier, stronger and grow larger. Plants 
that are not inoculated often turn yellow and die. 
Inoculation may mean the difference between suc¬ 
cess and failure. 
Berryks Nodule Germ Inoculation is inexpensive. It is 
easy to apply. Full simple directions with each package. 
Price bu. size, 30c; 1 bu. size, 50c; bu. size, 90c. 
If this inoculation does not form nodules on the roots of 
your plants we will refund the price of the Nodule Germ. 
Market Conditions 
Alfalfa seed production is short in many producing sections. 
There is not much seed in growers’ hands. The demand and 
need for the seed is great. As the season for seeding ap¬ 
proaches we look for markets to show strong advances. Our 
prices will be protected until stocks are sold or market ad¬ 
vances make duplication impossible. 
Sowing Alfalfa 
Get your seed bed as fine and well packed as possible. Sow 
a little later than Red Clover with a very light nurse crop. 
Better still a little later seeding after some advance harrowing 
to kill weeds. In such case sow without a nurse crop. Fif¬ 
teen pounds per acre is plenty. Do not cover over half an 
inch. Roll, if possible after seeding. Inoculate your seed... _
