prices consistant with good business.

Farmers, LSsteoS
You've been warned to
after I mentioned
rfnof -fvnm
We gladly admit that our seed comes to you from a country
chipper, with only 20 years experience and cleaned in a little
country town, with cleaning machinery of the latest design,
electrically driven and the best that money can buy.
We farmers have been purchasing Seed House
seed for many years some of which is good,
but to look at some of it would make you think
they had no cleaners at all.
Why boast of $60,000 worth of cleaning machinery and sell
i's "pure" alfalfa seed containing up to 20 r sweet clover seed,
together with weed seeds beyond description, when a $100
feed mixer would do the trick? I also agree that 40 years of
experience should work toward efficiency in this profitable
mixing business. Now listen, Mr. Seed House Exponent:
One of these so-called reputable seed houses
not so far away purchased in December two
carloads of low grade 2 and 3-year-old Sweet
Clover Seed from this same little country ship
per, who sells all his high quality new crop seed
direct to farmers. The off-grades and carry-over
stock goes to seed houses at very low prices.
LOOK for it when you purchase seed house, seed. But, per
haps with $60,000 worth of machinery they can purify it and
actually change it to a 1928 (new crop) seed?
Now, a word about this little country shipper, who is a
Master Farmer, producing seed good enough to be shipped to
three foreign countries following the war, and ships annually
into a dozen or more states. He has received certificates of
merit from the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture, State College of
Agriculture and Governor of his state for pminpnt c;
rendered in development of agricultural thought and practice.
He is now at Pierre, elected to the Legislature Kv
-
bors and farmer friends. Did
v i i - .
man elected to a high office in
STOP seeing red, Mr. Seed House Exponent. r
Our seed complies with the laws of all the states
and is positively the highest quality seed offer-
ea tne public this season.
A few years ago you attempted to purchase a carload from
this little average country shipper, and failed. Well, his seed
is cleaned better today than in 1 925.
So LISTEN, Farmers: When I first sold you Sweet
Clover seed, it was at a saving of $3.25 per bushel and help
ed to restore competitive prices, and Quality seed always.
