It will take you one minute and 30 seconds to read this letter - but it 
may save you many dollars. . 
First - lets take a good look at government seed production figures this 
year. We think they warrant careful study. Alfalfa seed production is 
1% smaller than last year; Sweet Clover )% smaller; Red Clover 32% 
smaller; Brome Grass 50% smaller; Timothy 22% smaller; Lespedeza 30% 
smaller than 1950. These are the forage crops always in heaviest demnd. 
They average out to 30% less seed than last year. 
Now compare prices TODAY with last year. Most are lower now than at the 
same time in 1951. Lets add the reality of more inflation than in 1951. 
And consider the large pent-up demand delayed by adverse planting weather 
the past two seasons. These are the main, brief facts as we see them. You 
can readily see what could happen to these markets under these conditions.
