MARKET CONDITIONS 
There is an early and active interest 
in values now prevailing on Alfalfa 
and the principal Clovers. It is recom- 
mended that you book your trade early. 
ALFALFA: The special strains of 
Alfalfa, such as Atlantic, Buffalo and 
Ranger, are now commanding such 
high prices that the farmer may well 
consider the attractive price of QUA- 
KER Northwest Alfalfa, which you 
will note is available at from $5.00 to 
$11.00 per bushel lower price. 
RED CLOVER: The Pennsylvania 
Grown Red Clover Seed (quoted in 
column 2) has established an enviable 
reputation with those farmers in Penn- 
sylvania and New Jersey who have 
been sowing QUAKER Brand Penn- 
sylvania Grown during recent years. 
It should be noted that the price is 
$3.00 per bushel less than that being 
asked for the Western Grown Ken- 
land variety; the farmer may well con- 
sider these comparative values before 
filling his requirements in the high 
priced Western Grown certified. 
ALSIKE: Market unchanged.
