Mr.. B. L. France, Pennington, Mo-.
Dear Sir:-Mr. Clardy has men
toned your interest in the winter turf
oats, seed for which we furnished him
last fall, and has suggested that you
are anxious to secure some of this
acclimated seed for further distribu-
ton among farmers in that section.
AS Mr.. Clardy has doubtless told
you, we make practice of furnishing
limited amount of seed to farmers
on the understanding that they will
return to us two bushels of the crop
grown for every bushel of seed we
offer. In this way we are able to-
help out farmers in introducing good
Eeed and they, in returning double
quantity, are able to help us in help
ing other farmers, because it is our
practice to take the seed we get back
and re-distribute it.
l do not exactly remember just
what quantity Mr.. CIardy owes us,
but if you know of some really good
farmers whom you think will make
good use of this seed, you are well
come to whatever quantity Mr.. Clar-
dy owes us, if you will place it with
farmers on the understanding they
return it as per terms mentioned
above.
1t is possible that we can furnish
kome more seed from our Arcadia
farm if given assurance that farmers
will appreciate and make good use of
same.
Yours very truly,
d. C. WELTY,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Dear Sir:-Doubtless you will be
interested in securing some first-class
seed-rye and winter wheat for fall
seeding.
The superiority of Wisconsin Pedi
gree rye and wheat are widely known
throughout the country, but there is
always a question of getting the seed
from growers who use every precau-
ton in keeping the seed pure and free
from disease.
For the past eight years, have de-
voted my entire farm to the growing
and breeding of Wisconsin Pedigree
seeds, and all my fields and seeds are
subjected to a rigid examination an
nually by the State Seed Inspection
Department. We offer our seeds at
moderate prices, considering quality.
and will be glad to furnish your farm
ers with such varieties as we have to
offer.
Pedigree Winter is out this year
for the first time, and only limited
quantity is available this year. We
furnish many County Agents and ag-
ricultural schools with various seeds,
and cater especially to this class of
trade.
If you wish to know anything about
us, can best refer you to Prof, R. A.
Moore, chief agronomist of the Wis
cousin College of Agriculture at Mad
ison.
Trusting | may hear from you when
in need of pure bred seed, am,
Yours very truly,
