OLDS' FANCY ALFALFA SEED 
(Sow 15 to 
A fine field of Wisconsin Alfalfa. 
GRIMM ALFALFAS 
Grimm Alfalfa is well known as the hardiest Alfalfa. The seed costs 
more, but it pays to use it to insure against winterkilling when the 
unfavorable season comes. All our Grimm seed is “State Sealed and 
Certified.’’ 
„ BLACKFOOT GRIMM 
The Blackfoot Brand of Grimm Alfalfa is a specially choice and 
famous strain of Grimm grown by an association of Idaho farmers who 
have absolutely genuine seed and who have all their fields inspected and 
the seed state certified and state sealed. These growers can all posi¬ 
tively trace the origin of their seed back to the original Grimm stock 
of Carver County, Minnesota. 
‘‘BLUE TAG’’ BLACKFOOT GRIMM, the highest grade of Grimm 
Alfalfa, must show a purity of not less than 99.5 per cent, must be 
entirely free of dodder and all other noxious weeds but may contain a 
slight trace of sweet clover, not to exceed 1/32 of 1 per cent.

HARDY IDAHO LADAK 
In 1910 Experiment Stations in the northern 
plain states received samples of Alfalfa seed from 
northern India produced at an altitude of 12,000 
feet where the rainfall is about four inches a 
year and blizzards occur throughout the season. 
These plantings proved it is hardyj if not hardier 
than all Alfalfas including the Grimms, and that 
Ladak is very drought-resistant and tolerant to 
bacteria wilt. A test plot at the Nebraska station 
on wilt-infested soil produced crops at least six 
to eight years \yhile Grimm, Cossack, and Com¬ 
mon Alfalfas maintained stands for only three to 
four years. 
The plant is fine stemmed and leafy producing 
a fine quality hay. It is also an excellent yielder. 
At the Kansas station it was classed among the 
three highest yielding varieties on wilt-Infested soil. 
Prices—Hardy Idaho Blue Tag Ladak: Lb., 
60c; 3 lbs., $1.50, postpaid.—By freight: % pk., 
$3.40; pk., $6.60; bu., $24.60; 2 bus. at $24.45;

IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY 
All our Alfalfa seeds are U. S. verified as to origin. They are all 
northern grown, adaptable to the north central states, and will be 
^eligible for Soil Conservation payments. Unadaptable seed will not 
Ibe recognized in the Soil Conservation Program. 
ALFALFA SEED CROP VERY SHORT 
Alfalfa seed this year is a very short crop. Considerable damage was 
idone by insects. Heavy rains and unseasonable weather in the fall 
iruined a great deal of the seed before it cou'd be threshed. Exports 
|to Europe have helped to create a shortage in this country. (Order 
■early; prices are likely to advance.)

from the Black Hills region of western South Dakota. It is all dry
