WHAT WILL THE YEAR 1951 BRING? 
Your opinion is as good as that of any of the numerous radio commentators and 
feature staff writers. 
But this we know! It is another year of stepped up production in all the basic 
essential commodities. Not only for defense but for our survival — if the worst 
should happen. 
That means that again the seed industry is called upon to help supply the ex- 
panded food production necessary. 
At the present writing seed stocks are adequate for only a normal season. But to 
be on the safe side it would be only wise to order early.
