MARKET CONDITIONS 
Alfalfa and Clover prices have under- 
gone a drastic reduction from the 
comparatively high prices of the past 
few years. In fact, many field seed 
prices are today more attractive than 
they have been at any time during the 
past 11 years. 
These values will encourage in- 
creased sowing. The quality of 
QUAKER Brand Alfalfa and Red 
Clover, as a result of constantly im- 
proved methods in our cleaning plant, 
is the highest we have ever been able 
to offer. 
GRASSES: Due to a near failure in 
the Kentucky Bluegrass crop, the 
price of many other grasses has been 
indirectly affected. Grass markets in 
general are quite strong. 
PENNSYLVANIA 
FARM SHOW WEEK 
Ve hope to see you at the Farm 
Show in Harrisburg, during the 
week of January 11-15, at which 
time our representatives will be 
glad to give you last minute in- 
formation.
