MARKET CONDITIONS 
The close of the year finds the market for virtu- 
ally all Farm Seeds very strong. 
ALFALFA: Due to the scarcity of Red Clover, 
our Agricultural authorities recommend increased 
acreage in Alfalfa where the soil is suitable. The 
market is very strong on hardy Northwest origins. 
The less hardy southern grown seed is more plen- 
tiful. 
ALSiKE: Due to the scarcity of Red Clover, 
where the soil not favorable for Alfalfa, our auth- 
orities are recommending an increased use of 
Alsike. The movement of Alsike from producing 
sections has been much faster in recent weeks, 
following a sharp price advance. 
RED CLOVER: Will the growers who have 
been holding their Red Clover Seed sell more 
freely after January 1? The future of the Red 
Clover market depends largely on the answer 
to the above question. 
CUMBERLAND RED CLOVER: Farmers in 
New Jersey are being advised to sow Cumber- 
land Red Clover in preference to any other Red.
