Seeds For Fall -- August, 1953 
Yields and quality of seed wheat this season were the best we have seen for a good 
many years. One of the large Scott fields went above fifty bushel per acre and several 
others were above the forty-five bushel mark. There seemed to be less smut and other 
disease than normal in this locality due to nearly everyone using treated seed and to 
favorable weather conditions. 
With the prospect of marketing quotas and some acreage reduction we believe many 
growers will want the best seed wheat available to help insure top production 
per acre for next year. Pennoll was a little the best for us this year, but the other 
varieties were so good we have no complaints. 
Then, too, prices are being held as close to loan values as possible to keep the 
cost for new cleaned and treated seed low to the customer. Certified, treated, clean, 
bagged seed is but a few cents more than a farmer's own wheat when the cost of hauling 
it to some point and paying for cleaning and treating as well as taking the risk of 
mixtures is considered. 
Scotts seed wheat is high in test weight, well cleaned, treated, and ready for 
August or later delivery. Whether for shipment or pickup, place your order now and 
we can hold the wheat until the time you want it. 
Fairly good supplies of Fall Barley and Seed Rye are available. However, with - 
lower wheat acreages demand for these may be greater this year. The several 
varieties of Barley on hand are exceptionally bright in color and of good quality and 
germination. Seed Rye also has been harvested under ideal conditions. Both are 
ready for immediate shipment. All of Scotts quotations on seed grains are under 
those of last season. 
LEGUMES AND GRASSES 
Most of the widely used farm seed grasses are lower in price than last year, 
including Brome Grass, the Fescues, and Orchard Grass. At present, Timothy and Rye 
Grasses are about the same with Blue Grass higher due to about a fifty per cent crop. 
Legumes, too, as Alfalfas, Clovers, Ladino, Sweet Clover and others are lower 
than last season and are expected to remain at rather low levels during the winter and 
spring. Anticipated large production plus government supplies accumulated under the 
loan program makes prices favorable to the buyer but very discouraging to the 
producer of these seeds. 
When the price is so little more for good seed and seed costs are such a small part 
of the expense of producing a crop we urge you to use the best. Try Scotts. 
Sincerely, 
SCOTT FARM SEED CO.
