CO R'N-EBIEIET, 
ALFALE: 
Alfalfa Earns $1.50°An Acre-in AALA. 
You get twice as much under A.A.A., for seeding alfalfa than 
Red Clover and 3 times as much as for Sweet Clover. The great 
value of the crop justifies this large payment. This cuts actual 
seed costs. See page 9 for information on payments. Corn-Belt 
Alfalfa contains only such seed as is considered by A.A.A. author- 
ities to be adapted to North Central Region. This includes north- 
ern most states like Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota. Such 
seed should prove amply hardy anywhere. You may be certain 
therefore that Corn-Belt Alfalfa both Regular and Grimm qualifies 
for government checks under A.A.A. as stated above. : 
We also sell straight Nebraska, Montana, Minnesota, Canadian 
and Kansas grown as catalog describes. 

This is the type of alfalfa that is very 
popular throughout the Corn-Belt because 
of its heavy production and its winter 
hardiness. Its use however, is by no means 
confined to the corn-belt. Northern states 
like Minnesota, Michigan and. Wisconsin 
use this character of seed with very satis- 
factory results and customers in eastern, 
western and southern states like it very 
much. 



Thoroughly Dependable 
We do not mix any un- 
adapted. southern or south- 
western alfalfa seed in our 
stocks. Dealers who do that 
can sell nice looking seed at 
lower prices. However, the 
farmer sowing such seed will 
probably lose a great deal 
through winter kiliing and find 
that the most expensive seed

Better Stands—Heavier Growth 

Joseph Ash of Otsego, Michigan: ‘‘We got some 
of your World Brand Corn-Belt Alfalfa-2 or 3 

years ago. It is doing so good we want some 
more.”’ 
A. Foster of Sparta, Ill., says he bought 
some of our cheapest Corn-Belt Alfalfa 5 years 
ago. Still going strong. Has another piece of 
ground ready for more. 
Ed Phienheimer of Shipshewanna, Ind., has used 
Corn-Belt Alfalfa for seven years. Orders more. 
Says to send it whatever the price may be. 
Ivan R. Arnsmeir of Juda, Wis., reports our 
Corn-Belt Alfalfa gave him four cuttings when 
his neighbors got only two. He had our lowest 
priced grade. 
Wm. Koutny of Brandon, Iowa, states he ob- 
tained a fine stand. Lots better than some who 
paid five bucks per bushel more for their seed. 
Oscar M. Hub of Riley, Wis., says the four 
bushels of Corn-Belt alfalfa was seeded with ex- 
cellent results. Well pleased. 
Frank L. Wilcox, Galloway, Ohio, wants an- 
other bushel and a half like the Corn-Belt he got 
the year before which gave very good results. 
Wm. S. Van Tassel, Antwerp, N. Y., says: “I 
secured a wonderful stand last year of your seeds, 
especially of your alfalfa.’ 
Elmer Broedlow of Jefferson, Wisconsin, writes: 
*‘Just wish to say the alfalfa I purchased of you 
last year withstood the drought and ice of last 
winter. My seeding is excellent although some 
report their seedings are dead again this year. 
North Liberty, Indiana. 
Dear Sirs: Your seeds are the best 
I ever used. The Yellow Biennial 
Sweet Clover is certainly the best. 
Every seed came up. I am well sat- 
isfied and can recommend your seeds 
highly, 
Yours truly, 
ELDEN KANE. 

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 can 
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. Plants 
that are not inoculated often turn yellow and die. 
Inoculation may mean the difference between suc- 
cess and failure. 
Berry’s. Nodule Germ Tnoculation is inexpensive. It is 
easy to apply. Full simple directions with each package. 
Price % bu. size, 30c; 1 bu. size, 50c; 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 
Unfavorable weather conditions have caused a very drastic 
reduction in Alfalfa seed supplies for this year. The total crop 
probably is not over 40% of last years. The demand and need 
for seed is great. We look for markets to advance as the 
seeding season approaches. Our sincere advice is to buy 
Alfalfa seed early. 

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 crop. 
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 seéding. Inoculate your seed.
