MARKET CONDITIONS 
Seed markets continue very strong. Un- 
questionably some items are in short 
supply. 
Kindly ’phone us for latest information 
as regards market conditions, particu- 
larly as regards new strains of Red 
Clover, Alfalfa, and certain grasses now 
being highly recommended by the 
authorities for soil improvement and the 
production of better pasturage. The 
local dealer will find many opportunities 
for increased business by keeping in- 
formed on these interesting develop- 
ments. 
KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS: Due to 
the high price now prevaiiing on Ken- 
tucky Bluegrass we recommend an in- 
creased use of Chewings Fescue in all 
mixtures where these two grasses have 
a part. 
ALFALFA: Market very strong: Sup- 
plies apparently are now pretty well 
moved from the producing areas. 
RED CLOVER Market very strong. 
SWEET CLOVER: Market higher. 
LADINO CLOVER: Market higher. 
The cost per acre is not excessive and it 
is believed that even greater quantities 
of Ladino will be sown during this 
coming spring season.
