HENRY FIELD’S SEED 
Brome-Alfalfa Pasture 
A wonderful combination—15 Ibs. 
Brome and 4 to 5 lbs. per acre of alfalfa 
along with it. This makes the best 
quality hay. It is just the right combina- 
tion. In addition, Brome-Alfalfa mixture 
will make good pasture without danger 
of bloating and furnish green feed for 
calves even in the late fall and winter 
when it is not covered by snow. 
Northern Alfalfa Seed for 
Early Orders 
It is the first time in four years we 
have had any hardy plump northern 
grown Alfalfa seed available for August 
and September planting. All perfectly 
hardy bright clean plump berries. 
For the wise farmer who gets his 
order in early you can have your choice 
of any of the lots listed, including 
Dakota No. 12, Grimm and Cossack va- 
rieties. Check our price list now and get 
your order in right away, and be sure 
to include inoculation to mix with your 
seed before planting. 
We do not handle Argentine or south- 
ern-grown seed which we feel is no good.

Practice Crop Rotation 
I believe one of the best disease con- 
trol practices that you could follow, both 
in the field and garden, is crop rotation. 
It is true that many other practices may 
be important and should be followed too, 
with various individual diseases of crops, 
but crop rotation is important for nearly 
all cases. With corn for example, rota- 
tion is about the only means of reducing 
losses from root rot, stalk rot and ear rot, 
and with the experiences of corn root 
Worm over a wide area the past two years 
in the main Corn Belt, crop rotation is 
even more important than ever in figuring 
next year’s planting acres. 
And the same thing is true in the gar- 
den. Crop rotation may mean the differ- 
ence between a crop of tomatoes or 
failure to obtain a crop. The leaf spot 
which bothers tomatoes and for several 
years has been. proven to be greatly 
reduced by putting the plants in a new 
location each year. In fact, it is a good 
plan to rotate your entire garden spot 
from year to year and it will pay you 
off in big dividends every time. 
One good thing about crop rotation, it 
doesn’t cost you much, it’s inexpensive, 
it’s easy to follow. 

Be Sure of Yours — Order Clinton Oats Now 
pase St os Sic a ee eee se ei en i a 
Here is the good news you have been waiting for. New crop 1947 grown Certified Clinton 
Oats are available now. I know you have been waiting for that news for several years and 
we are glad to say that right here at Henry Field’s we are the first to offer them to anybody 
who wants to buy them—in any quantity. No restriction—the lid is off as far as we are 
- concerned. 
Clinton is a variety of oats that promises to turn poor oat years into good ones. Clinton 
has outyielded all other name varieties since its introduction..It has the stiffest straw and 
weighs out better than any other variety test under Iowa growing conditions where it 
originated at the Iowa State College. Clinton is a medium tall yellow early oat, kernels are 
plump, the hulls are thin. In community trials im the state Clinton outyielded old varieties 
like Tama, Boone and Marion by an average of 14 bushels per acre. Clinton will stand up 
under rich soil conditions. It is not a hybrid but a new variety that comes from hybrid 
origin. : : 
Clintom Oats have high disease resistance to stem rust and crown rust, also are highly 
resistant to smut, halo blight and the new helminthosporium blight that caused such high 
Yield losses with old fashioned oat varieties that were not resistant the past two years. 
You will be sure to like the Clinton variety because of its higher yielding ability, stiffer 
straw than any other variety available and higher test weight because of plump Kernels 
and thin hulls. It is going to be a real boom to every farmer in the entire Corn Belt. 
We are glad to say that we bought Clinton Oats early, all eligible for certification to be 
completed early this fall and priced right. We are not asking wild prices like $12, $14 and 
$15 per bushel that you heard a year ago, but are putting the price in line so that every 
farmer can raise Clinton Oats next year if the limited seed supply lasts long enough. 
Keep in mind there was a big reduction in oat acres here in Iowa this year because of 
the late wet cold spring, keeping many of the acres from being planted. There won’t be 
near enough Clinton Oats to go around—we know that now. : 
Here’s the deal. S 
$2.90 in 24 bu. or over lots. $1 less for uncertified. All oats sacked and sold in 3 bu. bags 
only. Prices F.0.B. Iowa shipping point. 
Gur price is only $3.25 in 3 bu. lots; $2.95 in 6 to 12 bu. lots; and only.

oats out of the 
ground, and with it, 
a lot of Alfalfa.
