ABOUT GUARANTEE 
We have used every possible care to secure seeds that are 
true to name, carefully selected, and all lots are tested thor- 
oughly for both germination and purity. Owing to so many 
conditions beyond the control of either the seedsman or planter, 
however, we give no warranty, express or implied, as to the 
productiveness of any seeds we sell and we will not be in any 
way responsible for the crop. Our liability, in all instances, 
is limited to the purchase price of the seed.

WYOMING SALES TAX 
The Wyoming Selective Sales Tax Law exempts feeds only 
“for use in feeding livestock or poultry for marketing purposes.” 
It also exempts “all sales of seeds, roots, bulbs, small plants 
and fertilizer planted or applied to land, the products from which 
are to be sold.” 
Feed, seed, etc., other than for the above purposes is 
therefore taxable, as are all supplies, garden tools and miscel- 
laneous articles which we handle. Wyoming customers will 
please add 2% to the amount of their orders for such items to 
cover this tax. Mail orders to be shipped outside of the state 
are not subject to Wyoming Sales Tax. 

OUR COVER 
As noted on the back cover, this cover picture was taken on 
the Odell-Arney ranch, near Dayton, Wyo. It shows part of a 
97 acre pasture planted in 1945. Harold Arney gives us the 
following information taken from their records: In 1947 they 
pastured 239 head of cows and calves on this pasture until May 
14th, cut 80 tons of hay from it, and in the fall pastured 300 
head of cattle for one month. At the time we took the picture 
late in October there was from 6 to 12 inches of grass all over 
the field. Harold tells us they didn’t get this field irrigated 
last summer as well as they should have, and the hay produc- 
tion wasn’t quite up to par—they got a ton and a quarter per 
acre in 1946.
