Grains, Grasses, Legumes -- August, 1955 
GRAINS -- Yields, test weights and quality of seed wheat is excellent this 
year. Certified seed of the six leading varieties is quoted and is or soon will 
be ready for shipment or pick up. Prices have been kept at low levels so that 
cleaned, tested, treated, ready-to-sow seed is but a few cents more per bushel 
than a farmer's own grain would be when cleaning, hauling, treating and similar 
costs are considered. 
Rye listings include Balbo, locally produced 1T.P. from Tetra Petkus seed 
and the approved Tetra Petkus. Barley includes the three best varieties, all of 
which are certified, treated, tops in quality and widely recommended where fall 
barley can be used. 
Dubois winter oats is considered the most winter hardy and one of the high- 
est producing varieties. Early seeding and mild winter weather conditions are 
essential to satisfactory production. 
GRASSES - LEGUMES 
GRASSES -- Prices on most of the widely used kinds are expected to be lower 
during the coming seasdn than they were last year. These include timothy, 
orchard grass, the fescues, bluegrass anda few others. Bromegrass is expected 
to be slightly higher due to a smaller western crop of the southern type of brome. 
While markets have not been fully established, it appears that both fall 
and spring prices on grasses will be favorable to the buyer. 
LEGUMES -- Prospects for both alfalfas and clovers are good. Again, as 
with grasses, prices will suit the buyer better than they do the producer. 
Especially should the certified, higher producing varieties of legumes be more 
in line during the coming season. 
Whether it is grains, grasses or legumes, yields as well as satisfaction 
are greater where the best seeds are used. Seed costs are such a small part of 
the expense of producing a crop. Start with good seed. Try SCOTTS.
