distribute this seed where it will be used for 
growing seed. We expect to distribute some 
of it through the Department of Agriculture 
that it may be grown in other places and the 
seed produced more abundantly than in Min¬ 
nesota.” 
Professor Spillman, Washington, D. C.: 
“Mr. President, I am glad to see Professor 
Hayes take the stand he does. I can not help 
but be impressed with the paper read by Mr. 
Lyman this afternoon, as of vital importance 
to the future of agriculture. . . . We have 
been searching the world for a variety of Al¬ 
falfa that would do just what this variety 
does. The value of that seed means more 
than a million dollars to the State of Min¬ 
nesota alone.” 
The world distribution of this Alfalfa 
from that point was rapid—Canada became 
interested, as did Denmark, Sweden, Russia, 
Germany and Alaska, since here was a hardy 
plant that would endure the most severe 
climatic hardships and produce an abundance 
of protein feed, year after year, living 
up to the name which Wendelin Grimm 
had originally given it, “The Everlasting 
Clover.” 
Lyman’s selection of Grimm was un¬ 
doubtedly one of the greatest boons to Agri¬ 
culture discovered in the past century. 
And now you have LYMAN’S GRIMM
