Field of Crested Wheat Grass grown in rows on dry land for seed 
CRESTED WHEAT GRASS 
The hardiest and most drought resistant grass, introduced by Professor N. E. 
Hansen of our South Dakota State College who found it in Siberia, from where 
he also introduced Siberian Cossack Alfalfa. 
This grass was carefully tested by the U. S. Great Plains Station and by 
hundreds of practical farmers throughout the country. It yields twice as much 
forage as native grass in extremely dry years, produces twice as much beef, 
chokes weed growth, shows no bad effects from heavy grazing. Price at this time 
is approximately half of what it was the past few years. Seed should be broad¬ 
cast at the rate of 10 pounds per acre, for pasture or hay, or drilled in 4 to 6 
pounds per acre in rows (for seed). 
10 (bs. $3.00; 25 lbs. $6.75; 50 lbs. $13.00; 100 lbs. $25.00 
Field of Cossack Alfalfa 
TEN REASONS 
Why You Should Plant Professor Hansen's Siberian Cossack Alfalfa 
1. It is the hardiest alfalfa known; 2. A better soil builder than other alfalfa; 
3. More drouth resistant; 4. Will make a big crop of hay in a dry season when 
others fail; 5. Has a double root system, both branched and deep; 6. Makes fine 
quality hay on account of its finer stems and more leafy; 7. Yields twice as much 
hay per acre; 8. Freezing does not kill young plants, neither does it kill nor 
injure the growing hay; 9. Requires less seed per acre than other varieties; 
10. Quick start of new growth after cutting gets ahead of blue grass and weeds. 
Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin farmers are particularly interested in this feature. 
FROM AN ALFALFA CUSTOMER 
Dear Mr. Bober: 
I am glad to state that the alfalfa seed we obtained from you has made the finest growth 
of alfalfa that I have ever seen. I have been growing this crop for a good many years, 
but I am frank to say that we have never obtained the results with any alfalfa equivalent 
to that obtained from your seed. This is the reason we are using the seed again this year 
on an increasing number of properties, including one farm in Mississippi, the order for 
which you have probably received by this time. 
Very truly yours,
