Buy Good Seed—Your Pasture Will Be Worth $200 More! 
This Is the Year to Sow Pastures 
Get Your Seed At Headquarters 
__ Only once in 10 years do we get a spring as ideal as this for sow- 
ing pastures. Plenty of moisture and cool weather predicted. 
Pastures need seeding, too. The important thing is to sow early 
and sow good seed. We believe no one in the country has better 
pasture mixtures than ours—and best of all, buying direct, you buy 
them cheap. Below are a few suggestions of what pasture mix 
to sow for every purpose.

1941 AAA Program Boiled Down 
To help make it easy for you, I’ve tried to boil down the 
details of the AAA program so you can see what you earn by 
seeding various seeds this year. 
I always believed a farmer ought to sow these legumes 
anyway, and now that you can earn these payments that cover 
the cost of the seeding, there isn’t any excuse left for not doing 
it—alfalfa and brome grass especially. This is as accurate as 
- possible. 
These earn $3 per A. payments—Henry Field’s Brome 
Grass Mixture, Brome Grass, and Crested Wheat grass. 
These earn $1.50 per A. payments—Alfalfa or White Dutch 
Clover. 
These earn 75c per A. payments—All Henry Field’s Tim- 
othy Mixtures and Pasture Mixtures (except Brome Mix which 
_ earns $3 and Hog Pasture Annual Mix), Sweet Clover, Red 
Clover, Alsike Clover, Lespedeza and all grasses (except Brome 
and Crested Wheat at $3 per A. and Timothy and Red Top). 
These earn 40c per A.—Timothy and Red Top. 
_ These earn 15c per POUND for reseeding (max. $1.50 per 
A.)—AIll Henry Field Legumes and grasses (except below). 
These earn Sc per POUND for reseeding (Max. 75c per A.) 
—All Henry Field Timothy mixtures and Pasture Mixtures 
(except Hog pasture Mix) timothy, red top, and annual les- 
pedeza. 
Any Reason Not to Seed Legumes and Grasses? 
One of the boys figured out this chart to show that Uncle 
* Same practically pays for your seeding this year. Look it over.

A Typical Scene in One of Our Stores 
This is a picture I took in one of our stores, showing the 
farmers clustered around the field seed rack. They can tell 
good seed when they see it and our prices beat local high prices 
all to thunder. 
Same is true of the other depts. Each store has a complete 
stock of garden seed, field seed, nursery stock and baby chicks 
just like Shenandoah. All ready for you. If you live near one 
of these 14 stores, come in, make yourself acquainted and save 
some money. You’ll find the boys in the stores mighty pleasant.
