Alfalfa Seed Being
Offered for Sale I'm
der the Name of Grimm

Recent Investigations by the De-
partment of Agriculture at Wash
ington, ID. c. have revealed the
fact that large quantities of Or
binary alfalfa seed are being Of
fered for sale under the name of
Grimm. 1t has also been found
that large quantities of alfalfa
seed raised under irrigation are
being sold as northern-grown dry
land seed.
In the cases of some of this seed
it was found that it was not even
domestic seed, but was wholly or
in part imported Turkestan seed.
This practice of selling
other seed for Grimm re-
suits in the farmer paying from
40 cents to 81 or more per pound
for seed which would otherwise
sell for from IL to 90 cents a
pound, and inasmuch as the Or
binary seed is not as hardy as
Grimm, the first severe winter
may kill the entire crop.
The original Grimm alfalfa sown
in 1858 in Carver County, Mimi,
