Labeled Seed 
When buying field seed from a reliable seed company you are receiving 
the protection of the Montana Seed Laws, which are checked and enforced by 
your State College. 
Purity, Germination and locality where seed is grown is all carefully and 
correctly shown on the X-L labels. Purity is most important. 
seem like much weed seed, but think of putting 99 alfalfa seeds on a dime 
and 1 mustard seed. Then compare a dime to an acre and you have some 
idea of the importance of clean seed.

More Legume Seed Needed 
In the Great Falls Tribune of January 6, Mr. Ralph D. 
Mercer, Extension Agronomist of the Montana State Col- 
1% does not 
lege, emphasized the fact that Montana must nearly double the production of alfalfa seed 
for 1943, and that Sweet Clover seed production would have to be stepped up to two and 
one-half million pounds if the 1943 goal is to be reached. 
In the same article, Mr. Mercer stated that adapted varieties that have proven to be 
adaptable should be planted instead of new and uniried ones. 
ALFALFA SEED 
Sow 8 to 10 lbs. per acre on dry 
land. 
Sow 10 to 12 Ibs. 
irrigated land. 
Our label tags show where our seed is grown. We 
do not offer blends composed of seed from several 
localities. 
X-L LADAK 
In a ten-year test conducted at the Northern Branch Sta- 
tion at Havre, Ladak Alfalfa was more drought resistant and 
had less loss from winter-killing and out-yielded Grimm 
alfalfa by 13%. Ladak alfalfa is noted for its fineness of 
stem and abundance of leaves. We have Registered Blue 
Tag Ladak and Declaration Ladak Seed. Please refer to 
price list. 
X-L GRIMM 
Grimm Alfalfa has been proven in a 10-year test to out- 
yield Common by 12%. Since losses from winter killing and 
drought determined the difference in yields, this test should 
be the yardstick by which the Montana planter purchases 
his seed. See price list.

X-L CLOVER SEED 
X-L YELLOW BLOSSOM (Biennial) 
Has a finer foliage and is more dwarf than the white 
blossom variety and probably makes a little better hay. It 
can also be pastured a little closer than the other varieties. 
Will grow on almost any kind of soil. Sow 10 to 15 Ibs. per 
acre. Please refer to price list. 
X-L WHITE BLOSSOM (Biennial) 
It is one of the easiest of clovers to get started and out- 
yields any other variety for pasture purposes. Starts grow- 
ing early in the spring and stays green until late in the 
fall. Will make a good crop of roughage or hay under 
conditions which might cause an Alfalfa crop failure. Sow 10 
to 15 lbs.’ per acre. Please refer to price list. 
ALSIKE CLOVER 
Alsike clover is adapted primarily to moist soil condi- 
tions, it does quite well on soils where there is too much 
water for other legume crops and where there is a 
tendency for soil to be slightly acid. It will produce also 
on neutral to slightly alkali soil, provided there is suf- 
ficient moisture to keep it growing. Excellent to combine 
with timothy or red top for hay. Sow 8 lbs. per acre. Please 
refer to price list. 
STRAWBERRY CLOVER 
Strawberry clover is primarily a pasture crop and is 
best used with a mixture of pasture grasses. Since it 
seems better adapted to alkaline and seepy ground than 
White Dutch clover. Some growers have found it ad- 
visable to use it in Huntley Mixture in place of the White 
Dutch. It is very nutritious and an excellent milk producer. 
Where sown alone 1 to 2 lbs. per acre is sufficient. Seed 
very shallow on well prepared ground and while growing 
see that all soil is moist at the root level. Please refer to 
price list. 
X-L MEDIUM RED CLOVER 
Widely used in the foothill and mountainous regions. Im- 
proves soil more and outyields every other clover with the 
possible exception of Alpha Sweet. Sow 10 lbs. to acre. 
Please refer to price list.
