IMPORTANT — ORDER SEED EARLY. Induce your farmers to do the same. The need 
| for seed will exceed normal years. Wholesalers can prepare for usual demand but beyond 
_ that, last-minute orders will be subject to delays. Some seeds come from distant points. 
_ Cleaning additional stocks takes time. If too many wait until the last minute, disap- 
pointments cannot be avoided. Low prices take the risk out of early ordering.

This will be good news to your farm trade. Let your farmers 
know about it NOW, so they can lay plans early. Post this section of 
our list on your bulletin board. 
Qualities never better. 
Low prices permit generous seedings. Dam- 
aged or burnt out pastures, meadows can be brought back to full stands. 
Weedy, idle acres can be disked up and put to profitable use. Acreage 
taken out of allocated crops can be economically sown to clovers, 
grasses.
