To start the season the carry over of all field seeds 
were small, mostly all used up the past two years. 
Much of the 1940 crop of alfalfa went into the ground 
for last fall’s seeding. Heavy rains is not inducive to 
a seed crop &: . heavy rains and winds at thresh- 
ing time, much of aie crop was lost. In addition to 
this England has bought millions of pounds of seed 
out of the short crop. In the past the East imported 
much of their red clover and alsike. With all exports 
cut off they will have to come West to get their seed. 
“Sweet Clover, which early in the season looked to 
be a big crop, was mostly all lost by winds and weeks 
of wet weather. 
Red Clover is also a very short crop. Last year 
Illinois produced 440 carloads of red clover. This 
year only about 155 cars were produced, one of the 
smallest crops in several years. Red clover is the 
cheapest seed we have on the list and large quantities 
of it should be used. 
Timothy. A very short crop in the main producing 
sections and has advanced rapidly in price since 
last July. 
Soy beans. A large crop, but most of the crop unfit 
for seeding purposes. With increased acreage we look 
for a heavy demand for seed beans. 
Oats. In many sections the yields were’ good, but 
much of the crop light in weight, (26 to 30 pounds 
per bushel) and not the best for seed. We have about 
40,000 bushel of good seed oats at reasonable price 
as you will note from prices on opposite side of sheet. 
Seed Corn. A large crop but most of it harvested 
late, and with weeks and months of wet weather, a 
lot of close sorting and hand work is necessary and 
with the best of work all seed corn is going to show 
some damaged grains. Extra sorting and grading is 
reducing the quantity and with a much heavier de- 
mand from Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky, Pennsyl- 
vania and some of the other eastern states, who have 
never used much Hybrid corn, the best Hybrids are 
mostly all sold now. One million bu. extra required 
to plant increased acreage. 
With advancing grains and commodity prices, seeds 
are still too low in price. All prices quoted subject to 
market change.

For anyone wanting lower priced corn we advise 
planting large or medium rounds, which only cost 
$2.50 to $4.50 per bushel. These can be planted more 
evenly than flats with the proper plates and will 
produce equally as well. With an order for five bushel 
or more of rounds we give you free a set of plates 
for any standard make planter. 
Mixed Hybrids: These we furnish in all five grades, | 
prices $3.00 to $4.50 per bushel for the best large or 
medium flats. Comes off the same ears as the $6.00 
and $7.50 corn. Note we have early and late mixed 
Hybrids.

INTRODUCTORY HYBRID ASSORTMENT 
If you have never planted any of our Hybrid corn 
you should at least take advantage of this exceptional 
offer of one peck each of five different Hybrids, your 
choice, or we will select best adapted varieties for 
your section, for only $5.00 freight prepaid. Here 
you can test out five of our best Hybrids ata cost of 
50c per acre. We lose money on everyone of these 
assortments, but this has proven to be the best plan 
for introducing our Hybrids we have ever tried. We 
now have some dealers who have already sold 500 
bushel of corn this year, who started out with one of 
these five peck assortments. We naturally would like 
to have you order something else to go with this 
assortment. If you can use the assortment in medium 
rounds or regular flats we will make the five pecks for 
$4.00 freight prepaid.”
