THE SEED SITUATION 

§ 0.8. Depar tment of Agriculture 


Throughout the years Scotts have tried to furnish the best in farm seeds. 
We have always felt that noxious weed free, high germinating, quality seed 
actually cost less because it produces more satisfactory crops. You will

As we size up the situation there appears to be an ample supply of most 
farm seeds. Many are lower in price and only a few higher. The average 
seeding should be less expensive than a year ago. 
ALFALFA AND CLOVERS - Alfalfa, with the exception of Buffalo and Ranger 
wilt resistant varieties, is more plentiful and prices are lower. Medium 
red and Mammoth clover seed crops were smaller than a year ago but there 
is enough seed particularly if some alfalfa and other legumes are substi- 
tuted where possible. Cumberland and Midland are recommended for disease 
resistance and winter hardiness. 
Grasses - There is a big reduction in price on brome, orchard, bluegrass, 
reed canary grass and meadow fescue. Our brome and orchard grass are the 
best we’ve seen in several years. Certified Kentucky 31 and Certified 
Alta fescues are offered and also Certified Lincoln brome grass. 
MEADOW AND PASTURE MIXTURES - Only top quality clean seed is used in Scotts 
Mixtures. They are convenient. to order and sow and suited to a wide range 
of seeding conditions. Mr 
OATS AND BARLEY - Everyone who wants new seed oats should be able to get 
it this year. We hope to offer Eaton and Ajax on our January price list. 
Barley has been up for malting purposes so prices are high and supplies 
limited. Wisconsin 38 and Bay are smooth awned and high yielding with Bay 
slightly stiffer strawed. Treating is recommended for all spring grains 
for the control of smuts and seeding diseases. 
HYBRID CORN - The supply will certainly be smaller than for the past 
several years but we believe there will be enough for everyone. Appearance 
of seed may not be as nice as some years but producing ability is there 
and germinations are high. Both our supply and quality are good and more 
of the earlier hybrids are available than last year. 
WHEN TO ORDER - Order seed early. We are in position to make some December 
shipments. Freight deliveries are fairly prompt but it’s a good idea to 
play safe and order early.
