_ old Mandan Corn Priest as he blesses the sacred seeds in our little drawing, to the “Great 
Chief above. ” It is, of course, ever more important that those engaged in agricultural pur- 
suits use both their physical and mental powers in planning and producing larger and bet- 
ter crops for the fast growing population of our land. Farm practices of all types are con-

2 -man hours of labor. It seems especially essential that the grower pay increased attention to 
_ the Seed that he plants, both as to quality and variety. We try to keep up to date on new 
agricultural practices and to offer the best in Seed suited to the special weather conditions 
of our Northern Great Plains. With the production achieved this year under the worst drouth 
conditions since 1936 it seems justifiable to think that improved practices in the handling 
of soils and new and better adapted Seed have really made crop prospects considerably more 
certain than ever before even under the worst conditions.

us when you think of Trees, Shrubs, Plants and Seeds especially adapted to Northern Plains
