Corn-Belt Alfalfa Is Used in Every State in the Nation 
Corn-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. It is not 
a variety of alfalfa. This Corn-Bell; seed is 
produced in the northern and western part of 
this section and even further west and north. 
It contains no unadapted seed and is stock of 
a hardy character. All “Corn-Belt” Alfalfa 
qualifies as to origin for benefit payments in 
the agricultural conservation program. North 
Central Region. 
Thoroughly Dependable 
It is not necessary to 
specify Montana or Dakota 
to get hardy seed. Experi¬ 
ments have proven that 
seed such as our Corn-Belt 
is entirely satisfactory *in 
most sections. It is hardy 
and equal or better in pro¬ 
duction. Get adapted seed 
without paying premium 
prices. See page 40.

CUSTOMERS REPORTS

more.”

Dear Sirs: Your seeds are the best 
I ever used. The Yellow Biennial

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 cam 
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. Planlis 
that are not inoculated often turn yellow and die. 
Inoculation may mean the difference between suc¬ 
cess and failure. 
Berry’s Nodule Germ Inoculation is inexpensive. It is 
easy to apply. _ Full simple directions with each package. 
Price H bu. size, 30c; 1 bu. size, 50c; 2 y 2 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 some 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'inarkets 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 crpp. 
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.
