Market Conditions 
We delay making this report until just before this catalog goes to 
press, so that we can give our customers an accurate picture of supplies 
and market conditions. The Alfalfa crop was quite short this year 
especially in Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. Red Clover and Alsike 
Clover crops were better than last year which is reflected in our lower 
prices on these two items. Sweet Clover yields in the United States 
were short again; however, we have been fortunate in obtaining sup- 
plies from Canada of excellent quality. Timothy and Red Top crops 
were almost failures and supplies are very limited. Kentucky Blue 
Grass and Brome Grass are short again. Hybrid Seed Corn production 
was considerably higher than last year and the quality is the best we 
have ever seen with prices relatively lower than last year.
