ness one of the busiest in the city.
The alfalfa seed is coming in to
the association from Phillips and
Garfield counties, and of course, ali
the alfalfa seed in Valley county is
going through the association. At
present the association has 100 MEM
bers, and more are joining every day,
according to Murray E. Stebbins,
county agent.
The alfalfa association has control
of such a large quantity Of seed that
it stabilized and bolsterde the price
on Montana grown alfalfa seed. The
market price now is $3.50 to $500
hundred pounds, but the association
sold a 10000 pound car at 20 cents
to a Minneapolis firm and a 10000

and that which is to come in, the as
