ALFALFA 

IMPORTANT! 
The prices in this column give the 
| comparative values* of the differ- 
| ent origins of Alfalfa that we, 
} under normal conditions, would 
be able to supply. However, under 
the conditions that actually pre- 
vail today it must be emphasized 
that all quotations must be strictly 
subject to stocks unsold and our 
further confirmation. 
It is requested that you com- 
municate with us in order that we 
can advise just which origins we 
can supply at the time. 
*Values are because, under 
approximate 
OPA regulations, the exact price is calcu- 
lated separately, on each and every lot, and 
lots are changing constantly.

MARKET CONDITIONS 
ALFALFA: Since our annual Crop and 
Market Report was issued on October 
27, there has been no satisfactory move- 
ment of Alfalfa seed from the produc- 
ing sections. It is impossible to say 
how long present conditions may pre- 
vail but it is earnestly to be hoped that 
a freer movement of seed may later 
take place. 
In order that you may intelligently 
discuss the subject with your farmers, 
we list in column 1 the comparative 
values of different origins of Alfalfa but 
please note, under conditions prevail- 
ing today, no assurance can be given 
that the needed seed can be supplied. 
If you will communicate with us we 
shall be glad to advise you just what 
seed we can supply at the time and of 
course while present conditions pre- 
vail, the situation can change from day 
to day. 
ARGENTINE ALFALFA: The sale of 
Argentine Alfalfa is now permitted in 
this territory. Note quotation in column 
1. We are now booking orders. 
RED CLOVER: Considerable seed is 
still in the growers’ hands. It is hoped 
that a goodly portion of this seed will 
come on the market soon; in the mean- 
time kindly communicate with us for 
latest information as to what is avail- 
able. 
ALSIKE: Kindly write us for latest in- 
formation. 
INOCULATION: Attention should now 
be given to your early requirements in 
Inoculation. Kindly refer to our recent 
circular on this subject, if not already 
attended to.
