GRASSES -- Many areas short on moisture found brome grass mixtures the only fields 
remaining green for summer pasture or hay. Early fall is one of the best times to get 
new brome seedings started. High yields in western states have kept seed prices under 
those of a year ago and the quality of western seed is also higher this season. Ohio's 
crop is somewhat smaller than a year ago but is nice in color and quality. 
The drought of the past several years has hurt orchard grass stands and seed pro- 
duction is extremely short. Timothy seed is below average again, so prices on these 
two widely used grasses are higher. Bluegrass, on the other hand, is in better supply 
and priced lower. The fescues and most other grasses are in line with last season. 
LEGUMES -- Carryover of Alfalfa seed under the Government loan program, plus 
prospects for new crop seed, is favorable for continued reasonable alfalfa seed prices. 
Limited supplies in dealers' hands, government holdings at above spring levels and a 
strong summer demand have caused a temporary tight situation on alfalfa seed. 
Prospects for red clover, ladino and sweet clover are such that these legumes are 
expected to remain at about last year’s levels. No indication of any legume seed 
shortage is apparent at this time. 
Many of the newer alfalfa, red clover and grass seed varieties will be available 
in at:least limited amounts for winter and spring orders. 
FALL GRAINS 
- Good supplies of high quality seed wheat, rye and fall barley are on hand. Cer- 
tification on some wheat varieties is already completed and the others will soon be 
finished. Rye and Barley are ready for prompt shipment or pick up. 
Prices have been kept at low levels. Cleaned, tested, treated seed is but a few 
cents more per bushel than a farmer's own grain would be when hauling, cleaning, treat- 
ing and similar costs are considered. 
A brief description of the varieties handled is given on the inside page of the 
price list. If a variety not listed is desired, we will make every effort to try to 
locate a source of seed and get it for you in plenty of time for sowing. 
Again, as we have said many times, sow the best. Seed costs are such a small part 
of the expense of producing a crop. Start with good seed. Try Scotts. 
Sincerely, 
SCOTT FARM SEED COMPANY .
