THE SEED OUTLOOK FOR 1949 
The early demand for seed indicates the Upper Midwest will use more legume and grass 
seed during 1949 to restore depleted pastures, hay lands, and to restore depleted le- 
gume and grass seed supplies. 
On Thursday, December 2, 1948, the United States Department of Agriculture set higher 
1949 production goals for grass seeds. | 
Substantial increases in the goals for various legume and grass seeds are sought in order 
to restore the depleted supplies and provide for increased plantings. Suggested goals 
call for the following increases OVER 1948 acreage indicated for harvest. 
Alfalfa 80°%, Red Clover 48%, Alsike 25°%, Ladino 102°%%, Sweet Clover 
93%, White Clover 8%, Timothy 77%, Sudan Grass 121%, Red Top 148%, 
Bromus 110%, Ky. Blue Grass 70%, Crested Wheat Grass 367%. 
If the above suggested goals are approximately met, many shortages in the above varie- 
ties of seed would develop. We suggest that you place your orders now for early delivery.
