An Opportunity for the
Mont. Alfalfa Growers

some who will question this asser-
ton.
Is Common Native Montana Seed
Good Enough
/ have had western growers tell
me this: "Our common native alfal-
ia is hardy. We do not need Grimm.
Why we have fields here in Montana
all the way from 10 to 35 years old
still standing in excellent shape,
What further proof do you want for
a hardy alfalfa? Furthermore, we
have real winters out here-the kind
that make you long for the sunny
SOUTH"
On the face of it this looks like a
very formidable argument and IN
that appealed to us four or five years
ago but since then has lost its ap
peal. We have tried out experiment
ally alfalfa seed from several old
fields in Montana and South Dakota
that was represented to us as
being very hardy by virtue of the age
of the fields from whence it came
to find that when one Of our real
hard killing Wisconsin winters came
along-these cold field" alfalfa plots
winter-killed for the most part the
same as adjacent plots which had
been seeded with ordinary native al
from the very same states. Yes,
and the Grimm variety in these very
.ests came through with flying colors.

consin than obtains out west, they
will grow Grimm or other hardy va
~rieties Of alfalfa seed. The fact thai
our Wisconsin alfalfa acreage is cut
down every few years from 25 to 50
per cent by hard winters should be
sufficient proof that the native west
ern seed we have been using (includ-
ing that from Montana) is not hardy
enough to answer all our require
ments. Fields seeded with common
Montana grown alfalfa that last ten
years in Wisconsin are very rare and
har dto find but not so in Montana.
Our farmers generally prefer to leave
their fields stand as hong as they pro
duce we'll but that is not very long
if hard winters make their appear
ance. | am mentioning these mat
ters to emphasize that while under
certain western conditions Grimm
may not be greatly superior to the
common native alfalfa, it is much
harder and more permanent and
yields more in the states east of
Montana, otherwise there would be
no object in u farmers paying a
premium for Grimm seed.
Grimm Seed Needed in the East

How About the Over Production

To those of us here in the middle
western and eastern states where CHI
matte conditions are such that we
cannot, as a rule, grow alfalfa seed
successfully it is somewhat of a mys-
terry as to just why the hardy winter
resistant varieties of alfalfa such as
the Grimm, Baltic and Cossack, are
not more widely grown out west for
seed purposes than now obtains.
Grimm alfalfa seed, the most wide
ly grown and commercially impor-
tant variety of the three mentioned,
sells at from so to 100 per cent
above common native Montana seed.

well and following hard winters it

their association is to register fields

and to create a dependable source of
genuine Grimm by comparatively
marketing each approved growers
Grimm seed through the organization
and under the certifcation and seal
of the association. They apparently
have been very successful. All APP
plications for the registration of
Grimm fields are filed with the sec
rotary of the association, together
with full information and sworn evil
dence as to the origin of the seed,
acreage, location and condition of the
field. The integrity of the grower is
most carefully looked into and field
inspectors are made by the county
agents, college specialists or the Sec
rotary himself.
The requirements for membership
and for registration and certification
of Grimm fields and Grimm seed are
exceedingly strict. / a across a

FOREMORD

Mr.. GRADER, the author Of this ar
ticle, is an authority on alfalfa and
is especially interested in making the
buying Of Grimm alfalfa seed safe
for the eastern farmer. This paper
was prepared by him for the ninth
annual meeting of the Montana Seed
Growers. 1t is a clear-cut statement
of alfalfa seed facts worthy of care
full study by the farmers and seed
growers of Montana. We hope that
it may tend to arouse further inter
est in the development of alfalfa
seed production which is now being
taken up in earnest by the Montana

Getting Genuine Grimm

Here is a real problem. How are
we going to get what we pay for
when we buy Grimm alfalfa seed.
Grimm and common seed look exact
" alike and when we buy and pay
a big extra price for Grimm we are
in the dark as to whether we are get

to say to the Idaho Seed Growers last
winter for it fits the situation In
Notwithstanding in mind that all
references to the Grimm variety APP
ply equally well to Cossack and Bal
tic which are generally considered on
a par with Grimm.
"Our farmers are willing to pay
well for Grimm seed because they
appreciate its value, but they hesl-
tate to shell out their hard-earned
money without adequate assurance
of a fair and square deal. If Grimm
seed were only white or red in color
or had some other plainly distln-
gushing characteristic, it would be
far more valuable to us than now OBJ

all seed-men are dishonest or that all
Grimm seed growers are dishonest,

fails in having those characteristics
or hardness which makes Grimm
more valuable than This
is a big problem and a hard one to
solve. | hope that our discussion here
today will prove to be a step in the
direction of getting genuine Grimm
seed from the producers to the o n
