Assuming q yield of 200 pounds per

Fortunately this amount of seed

idly as possible in order to keep any

ing YOU these figures in all effort to
impress upon you the seriousness or
the alfalfa seed proposition at the
present time. l might mention that
often one makes strike" in alfalfa
seed production. Mr.. Brevig of Nc
kenzie Co., for instance, raised 4
bushels of Grimm seed from IL acre

the rate of $144. 90 per acre.
Outside Demand.
North Dakota is not the only state
that is making an effort to secure
hardy alfalfa seed. It has been found
that certain strains Of alfalfa, par
ticularly the Grimm, succeed better
in the north central and In the north
Atlantic states than other alfalfas.
Thus the states east from North Da-
kota, to the Atlantic Ocean, as far
south as Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana are DESTROYS of securing nor
thern grown alfalfa seed Of hardy
strains.
The alfalfa plant is peculiar in
producing seed, it requires special
conditions. It is the real business
