have said all along that our farmers
are not raising enough alfalfa seed
and they are certainly not producing
~ much as WAS brought forth doz-
EN- or more years ago. In those days
the price was only eight to ten cents

OF from six to ten bushels to the acre
the crop gave good returns Now

without really enough good quality
to do half the seeding that ought to
be done this spring when the ground
becomes soft enough to do work
As 1t requires from twelve to twenty
pounds to seed an acre every farmer
could well afford to grow his own
seed and many propose to do it this
year. We have noticed that drv

splendid opportunity for someone TO

hold up the splendid weight and to
produce eighty to one hundred

unlimited demand fer seed from
