SEED SITUATION 
Weather conditions last fall were against satisfactory legume seed production 
with Alfalfa suffering most. Such states as Nebraska, Utah and Idaho, which 
usually produce large quantities of Alfalfa, are particularly short with even 
smaller supplies of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana seed available. Oklahoma and 
Kansas Alfalfa seed production is comparable to past years. The seed is as 
_ weed free and of about the same purity as usual but because of rains and frost 
at harvest time is off some in color and weight. 
Red Clover seed production in the Central States is short but a good deal of 
fine quality seed was produced in Idaho. Additional Lend Lease purchases as 
well as smaller production has reduced supplies but there should still be enough 
Red, Mammoth and Alsike to go around. 
With the exception of some of the early Hybrids, Seed Corn supplies should be 
ample with possibly a small amount of substitution of one Hybrid for another 
necessary. 
SCOTTS MEADOW MIXTURES 
Ready mixed and suitable for hay, silage and rotation pastures. Formulas are 
those recommended by the Experiment Stations. The Alfalfa Mixture is for high 
lime soils adapted to Alfalfa growing and contains Alfalfa, Red Clover and Tim- 
othy. The Red Clover Mixture is for medium lime soils adapted to Red Clover 
growing. It contains Red Clover, Alfalfa, Alsike, Ladino Clover and Timothy. 
The Red Clover-Alsike Mixture is for soils not sweet enough or where drainage 
is inadequate for satisfactory Alfalfa or Red Clover seedings alone. It con- 
tains Red Clover, Alsike, Ladino Clover and Timothy. 
ECONOMICAL PRODUCTION 
Vigorous, high germinating seed is needed to get maximum production of corn, 
small grains, meadows, pastures, soybeans or other crops. But even this kind 
of seed can be wasted if seeding is carelessly or hurriedly done. The infor- 
mation gathered through practical experience and recommendations by the Experi- 
ment Stations should be used to insure the highest possible yields and to avoid 
thin stands and unsatisfactory production.

PS Our Hybrid Corn folder is enclosed. We believe you’1l enjoy it. Next 
issue of Scotts Farm Bulletin will discuss corn leaf blight, corn borer, kernel 
depth, thickness of planting and other factors contributing to yields per acre.
