QUALITY ALFALFA
SEED Is SCARCE
MORE REGISTERED PRODUCT
ACREAGE NEED IN MONTANA,
SAYS AGRONOMIST
Ralph Mercer Says That State Output
Must Be Increased II Top Ranking
Position Is to Be Maintained; Drouth
Years Are Blamed.

If Montana is to maintain its top
ranking position as a producer Of
high quality alfalfa seed, the acre
age of registered alfalfa must be
increased, says Ralph D. Mercer,
extension agronomist at Montana
State college. Registered seed pro-
duced in Montana is in demand by
alfalfa growers in other states
because of its hardness and superior
qualities, Mercer said. However. he
pointed out. recent years Of drouth have
reduced the acreage devoted to seed
production and unless this is brought
back to former levels, buyers will go
elsewhere for their seed supplies.
In registered alfalfa, farmers and
stockmen have virtually a dual pur-
pose crop because 1t can be used for
both seed and hay production, Mercer
said. In wet years 1t can be cut for
hay, and in dry years seed crop can
be harvested that will more than paw
for any supplemental feed that must
be purchased to carry livestock over
the winter.
The seed production phase Of alfalfa
growing has more value as sideline
5man as sx,n major enterprise. the agron-
ditions must be just right to produce
a seed crop. AS a feed crop alfalfa
holds an important place and has q
Stabilizing influence on the states
livestock production. But regardless Of
whether a grower plans to use alfalfa
strictly for hay or for seed production.
he should use only registered seed.
Mercer said. Not only is registered seed
the best, but it is also the cheapest
because less seed is required per acre.
Three varieties Of alfalfa are reg
stered by the Montana Seedgrowers
association and each is adapted to
Montana climatic and soil conditions.
These are Grimm, Cossack and Ladak.
ANY unregistered alfalfa seed Is known
as Montana common.

ITY OFFERED FARMERS
Reseaiing Program Of Agricultural Ad-

Possible for Borrowers to Postpone
Payment Date for 10 Months.

Farmers in the principal spring

have an opportunity to extend their
loans ten months through a re-
sealing program just announced by
the agricultural adjustment ad-

me resealing. program farmers whose
wheat, Is still in good condition may
extend the loan to March 81, 1910.
Farmers who renew their loans will re-
ceive cents a bushel payment for
storage in the event the wheat is
turned over to the Commodity Credit
Corp. at the maturity of the note. This
payment will be in addition to the Z
cent bushel payment which will be
credited to the borrowers account for
storing the wheat through the initial
loan period.

BY enabling farmers to hold wheat
from last years crop over until next
season, the reSeallng program carries
out In part the objectives of the ever
normal granary for wheat, r NJ Evans,
AAA administrator, said in ANNOUNCE
ing the program.
Because of the necessity of consoli-
dating the holdings of commercially
stored wheat to avoid congestion and
make way for the new crop, the reseal-
ing program covers only wheat now in
farm storage, AAA officials said. Loans
on commercially stored wheat will be-
come due. from April to July, as these
loans mature seven months from the
date of the loan and most Of the loans
were made between September and
December.
However, it is pointed out that farm
ers having farm-stored wheat as well
as those who have loans on grain stored
In commercial warehouses have three
other alternatives. They may: % pay
off the loan: (2) buy their wheat back
at the market price under a plan de-
y yel3ped last fan to give producers Of
