ALFALFA AND CLOVER SEEDS 
ALFALFA SEED 
Ladak Alfalfa. This comparatively new 
variety gives promise of becoming popu- 
lar and rightly so for it has developed 
that Ladak is ideally adapted to dry soils 
which cannot successfully grow the 
more common varieties. Ladak Alfalfa 
will produce one heavy crop on dry soils, 
after which, im case the meisture is not 
sufficient to continue its growth, it will 
survive through the season to come 
again after winter rains have revived it. 
Other varieties of alfalfa will almost 
completely die owt but not so with Ladak. 
It may appear completely dead, but will 
come again, when fall rains bring mois- 
ture. Ladak is likewise strongly resist- 
ant to freezing. In many tests Ladak 
has proved superior to all others for the 
cold and dry conditions found in the 
northern Great Plains areas and it has 
also given good results under irrigation 
in the Northwest. ‘ 
Grimm Alfalfa. The hardiest of all al- 
falfa and will stand the severest winters 
of our mountain sections. It has a 
branching root growth that gives the 
plant a firm hold on the soil and pre- 
vents heaving by frequent freezing and 
thaws, and also adapts it to shallower 
soils. If your soil has a hard-pan near 
the surface, or if your farm is in the 
mountain section, it will pay you to give 
Grimm the preference. Being short 
roeted, Grimm will thrive on soils where 
the water table is close to the surface. 
Grimm is very leafy and fine stemmed 
and is preferred by most hay buyers. 
Sow Grimm 8 pounds per acre after 
frost danger is over. Fertilize with Soil 
Sulphur or Superphosphate for bumper 
crops the first season. We handle only 
State Sealed and Certified Grimm seed. 
Common or Chilean Alfala. This is the 
popular long-rooted variety so univer- 
sally grown. Best adapted to deep soils. 
We handle only the hardiest types of 
BARLEY 
Velvon. A new, heavy-yielding, non- 
lodging strain of bearded barley. Vel- 
von is winter hardy or yields well, spring 
planted. Because of its upright growing 
head Velvon does not lodge as do other 
barleys. Velvon produces heavy, plump, 
white kernels and its beards are almost 
entirely awnless. In ‘Talent Trials, 
planted in the spring of 1942, Velvon 
yielded 102.5 bushels per acre. Planted 
as late as May 4, 1943, this barley yielded 
83.4 bushels per acre. 
Utah Winter Barley. A heavy yielding 
new bearded barley suited to either fall 
or spring planting. Resists lodging, will 
stand irrigation. Yields considerably be- 
yond 100 bushels per acre were enjoyed 
by one Valley farmer. We offer Blue 
Tag Certified seed. 
Chilean, selecting our seed from grow- 
ing districts which produce seed of 
true type. Our mountain grown seed 
will produce stands of longer duration 
and prove more profitable to plant. 
CLOVERS 
Red Clover. The standard clover for all 
purposes. Makes an excellent hay when 
mixed with Timothy. Succeeds well on 
most any soil. Inoeculate seed before 
planting and you’ll be sure to get a 
stand. 
Alsike Clover. This is a perennial adapted 
for hay or pasture. A valuable crop for 
bee pasture. Does well either on poor 
dry soils or in wet rich soil. Being finer, 
brighter and not so dusty. Alsike hay is 
preferred to Red Clover. Inoculate all 
clovers and be sure to get a stand. 
Ladino Clover. Pastures more cattle and 
hogs than any other clover. Ladino is a 
perennial, heavy producing and very 
palatable. It grows 12 to 18 inches tall. 
Ladino increases milk flow, improves 
soil, will thrive on shallow moist soils 
and is the first clover to awaken in the 
spring and the last plant to quit in the 
fall. Prepare a fine seed bed and sow 
the seed at the rate of 6 pounds per 
acre. Cover lightly with a brush har- 
row. If you use a sloping tooth har- 
row, set the teeth back to the limit to 
avoid covering too deeply. To prevent. 
bloating include grasses such as Rye 
Grass, Orchard Grass or Fescue. 
White Blossom Sweet Clover. Sweet. 
Clover is one of the most important soil 
improving crops. Withstands adverse 
conditions of soil and weather better 
than alfalfa and red clover. Does not 
winterkill. Produces more on this land 
than alfalfa and red clover in nutritive 
value. Sow it on lands too poor, too 
worn out, too sandy for other crops and 
bring the land into condition to produce 
profitable crops. Make the seedbed fine 
and compact and cover the seed lightly. 
Plant 20 pounds to the acre from Febru- 
ary to March. We offer only scarified, 
hulled, fancy seed, free of dodder, of high 
purity and germination. 

Kanota. 
yielding qualities. Not particularly 
suited for fall planting. We recommend 
Black Swedish or Winter Gray Oats for 
fall sowing. 
Winter Gray Oats. Best suited for fall 
planting. Heaviest yielding oat for hay 
but matures later than Kanota. Very 
leafy with slender stalks. We do not rec- 
ommend Gray Oats be planted with Al- 
falfa as they are not substantially de- 
veloped when the first cutting is taken 
off. Black Swedish or Kanota would 
be best for the purpose. 
RYE 
Abruzzi Rye. The fastest growing rye 
grain for cover crop or late winter or 
GRAINS 
OATS 
Still the favorite red oat be- 
cause of its early maturity and heavy 
early spring pasture. Produces three 
times the growth of ordinary rye, bar- 
ley or oats in cool weather. 
WHEAT 
White Federation No. 38 (Rust-resist- 
ant). Introduced by us in 1941, it proved 
all that was claimed for it. Heavy- 
yielding—1942 Talent Trial yield was 72 
bushels per acre. Planted on May 4, 
1943, this variety yielded 52 bushels per 
acre without irrigation. Highly resist- 
ant to stem rust and bunt smut. Gain- 
ing in popularity each year. 
Early Baart Wheat (Rust-resistant 38). 
Heavy yielding, bearded variety best 
adapted to heavy soils. Produces plump, 
heavy kernels. Does not lodge as do other 
varieties.
