HENRY FIELD’S SEED SENSE FOR MARCH, 1944—Henry Field Seed & Nursery Co., 
Going to Be a Serious 
Meat Shortage 
_There’s going to be a serious meat 
shortage. You all know the feed situa- 
tion. How the stockyards have been 
overcrowded with live stock sent in by 
farmers short of feed. It’s made a tem- 
porary surplus of meat. But that can’t 
80 on. Can’t use up our food and have 
it too. 
It looks like there are going to be 
meatless and eggless days soon. At least 
the big farm leaders say so, and they 
ought to know. They say labor shortages, 
lack of proper machinery, and contro- 
versies over farm support prices are the 
reasons. Don’t know, but am sure we all 
need to pitch in and help. 
- One way we can help ourselves and 
the country too is to grow all the meat 
we Can at home. Chickens are the easiest 
way, especially for you town folks. Hope 
you will look over the poultry list on 
this page, and if you only want a small 
flock for meat only, you can never find 
a better buy than my “Back Yard 
Special.”’ 

/ No More Radio Hymnals 
_ Quite a few folks have written in 
lately asking about the Radio Hymnals. 
The War Production Board says cut down 
on paper. No more Hymnals will be 
available for the duration.

Weather-Proof Corn Blend 
Yes, my special weather-proof corn has 
been a life saver on many farms and it 
still is popular. More so than ever. Lots 
of years you know it does get hot and 
dry. That is the time when my blends 
really come through and give a good ac- 
count for themselves. A hot spell dur- 
ing critical tasseling stage may destroy 
pollen and that means a poor set on the 
ears. The BLENDS THROW POLLEN 
OVER A 3 WEEK PERIOD and do really 
provide crop insurance. 
I wish you could see just some of the 
fine reports we have here at the seed- 
house on Weather-Proof Blends. In 
checking the orders this spring I find 
more and more of you customers order- 
ing our blends too. That is a good indica- 
tion they give results. See price list. 
Both edge and hill drop still available. 

New Zealand Spinach 
Some people call this the “All Summer 
Spinach” because the leaves and the 
stalks grow green all summer. The leaves 
are fleshy, extremely brittle, and of the 
finest quality. Don’t sow it until corn 
planting time. Give it plenty of room— 
at least two feet between plants. It is 
a good idea to soak seed before sowing. 
Ask for 210 New Zealand Spinach. Packet 
10c, postpaid.
